Subject: Morphometrics questions
To: [email protected]

Greetings,
I am an undergraduate working on a project that requires geometric morphometrics. I want to analyze the shape of stingray teeth specifically the sharp point. The tooth is shaped much like a triangle and would like to determine if pointiness of the tooth changes within my groups of specimens. The software I am using is TPS. I am somewhat familiar with use and some features of the software however I do not know the correct process. To analyze I am using IMP that is useful when using TPS software. What I want to know is, how can I determine the sharpness (pointiness) of the tooth using TPS? What is the process that I would have to take? Then how can I analyze for significant difference? I know IMP is the analysis part but I am not exactly sure how to correctly use it. I am very new to this and do not understand much of how to correctly proceed. If anyone can explain it and how I can perform the analysis please let me know. Also if there is something better (or easier) that I could be doing I am open to it. 

Thank You,
Eloise Cave
