Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:18:56 +0100 From: Milos Blagojevic <[email protected]> This may not be in the focus of morphometrics but some of the developmental issues I must address, While we mostly deal with the skull shape in geometric morphometrics the fact remains that developmental basis of skull formation is rather obscure (at least to me). I would like to know if there are any comprehensive developmental overviews that can be traced in order to formulate proper hypotheses about the skull constituent parts. Maybe even separately for skull elements thet originate from the mesoderm (somitomeres) and neural crest. There is one complete book (W.J. Moore "The mammalian skull") and one collection of papers ("Morphogenesis of the mammalian skull" ed. H.J. Kuhn and U. Zeller) that are quite informative in this field. Any more recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
