Dear morphometricians,
I'd like to thank all those who helped me with
refs, suggestions etc. when I asked questions on
sampling error in geometric morphometric studies,
as well as on errors made by using 2D images of 3D objects.
Two small studies I made (one with a couple of
colleagues) are coming out. They're, as usual,
exploratory and simplistic. I take the blame for
all possible mistakes but hope they may stimulate
others to investigate more and do better.

specimens do I need? Sampling error in geometric
morphometrics: testing the sensitivity of means
and variances in simple randomized selection

images really are a good proxy for 3D structures?
