Edgar,

If you perform a multivariate regression of shape on size (shape~size), the 
residuals from this regression represent that shape component not explained by 
size variation and the relationship between the two. In the literature, this is 
commonly referred to as size-adjusted residuals or allometry free shape.

Subject: [MORPHMET] Question about size adjusted residuals in Geomorph

Hi everyone, I'm working in Geomorph package in R and I have a question 
regarding working with allometric effect.

What is the difference between size-adjusted residuals and allometry free 
shapes.

Thanks in advance
