Dear Patrick,
the only paper where I may have read something
related to your question (even if there the
missing structure was, I believe, missing in some
stages of an ontogenetic series) is this one:
Oxnard, C., & O’Higgins, P. (2011). Biology
Clearly Needs Morphometrics. Does Morphometrics
Need Biology? Biological Theory, 4(1), 84–97.
doi:i: 10.1162/biot.2009.4.1.84</p>
Cheers
Andrea
