Hi Anneke,
Thanks for your reply. I was interested in knowing which morph
characterizes the specimens in the top right corner of the two-block PLS
graphs. I found a relevant passage in the MorphoJ website:
"The length and direction of the line indicates the movement of the
respective landmark from the starting shape to the target shape (e.g.
the mean shape plus the shape change that corresponds to an increase of
0.1 units of Procrustes distance in the direction of the PC1). " It
would be more biologically relevant to characterize the shapes at the
extremes..
Best,
Jana

Dear Jana
The dark-blue wireframe displays the changes along the axes and the
turquoise wireframe is the average shape. You can also tell by comparing the
wireframes with the lollipop graph.
I hope that helps and good luck with your analyses!
Best wishes,
Anneke van Heteren

Dear morphometricians, I have a question regarding the PLS within
configuration function in MorphoJ. I would like to be able to match
shape change to the distribution of the specimens along the PLS
axes. Thus, I would like to ask which one of the two extreme
patterns (turquoise wireframe or dark-blue wireframe) corresponds to
the individuals of the positive extreme of the PLS axis. Thanks,
