What are the questions you want to ask? What are the components of shape that you think determine the biology of your system? Is the geometric arrangement of anthers important? Are the flowers asymmetrical? Where does pollination happen? Where are the nectar glands located.

What are the 3 landmarks you've considered?

Hi there, I am trying to devise a plan to conduct an analysis of match between hummingbird bill shape and pollinated flower shape using a landmark-based analysis. I have been able to identify 3 landmarks that match between flowers and birds, but as this is not enough to generate principal warps or a PCA I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm new to this and could use some general pointers on how to make this unusual comparison. 

Thanks!
