Dear Shobnom,
Other people have already given
you suggestions, but I've also written an R script that outputs the distance
matrix as a text file. It handles both 2D and 3D. You can also adapt it to
directly run mantel test in R. Send me an email if you're interested <[email protected]>.

Dear Shobnom,
you'll find quite a bit of stuff in the
literature on the pros and cons of Mantel tests.
If that's what you really need and want to do,
besides TPSSmall or using PAST, you can get the distances also in Morphologika.
I would:
1) export the raw data (or the shape coordinates
- for this aim it won't make a difference) from MorphoJ;
2) convert the txt file in nts: change the
extension, remove the first column with the ID
and also the first row with variables name, add a
first line with: 1 numberofspecimens numberofvariavles(i.e.,landmarksby2) 0;
3) import the nts file in Morphologika, do the
GPA + PCA and then press the save button: you'll
get a CSV file with everything including Proc. distances.
Good luck.
Cheers
