Couple things. If your landmarks are on structures that doesn't change in s=
ize much during ontogeny, regardless of what happens in the rest of the sku=
ll, the centroid size cannot change either.

But more likely, you have a technical problem with for scaling.

I would suggest taking a simple length (eg., Skull length) in all your samp=
les and then see if those measurements makes make sense and show the variab=
ility that you expected to see in the size.

Hi all,

I am encountering a strange pattern in my data and I'm not sure if it is a =
problem with how i am collecting the landmarks or it's actually just a stra=
nge but correct pattern.

I work with an ontogenetic series of baleen whale skulls. The skulls of the=
 fetal specimens are very small (10-30 cm in length) compared to newborns o=
r adults (80-120 cm length). I would expect from my understanding of centro=
id size to increase progressively going from the early fetuses to the adult=
s, but this is not the case. The fetal stages seems to overall follow the p=
attern from small to big, but newborns and adults have more variable centro=
id sizes that overlap with the range of the fetuses.

I collect my landmarks in Avizo, and I changed the scale of the 3D models I=
 imported from other software to scale the skulls to their real size.

Do you think there is a problem with the landmark collection or it could be=
 possible that centroid size does not approximate actual skull size in this=
 case?

Thanks a lot!
