Re: [MORPHMET] Dennis Slice

Dear friends, I want to join all of you in expressing my condolences for Dennis loss. My grief goes to his family, friends and students. I knew him in Isernia about ten years ago and I had the chance to speak with him not only about morphometrics or science in general but also about a great variety

Re: [MORPHMET] digitizing very variable leaves

Hi Tina, if your colleagues are interested in the complexity of the leaves shapes more than in shape itself, it could be useful to compute the fractal dimension of the outlines of the leaves; it is very easy and it does not inform you about shape differences but about the "complexity" of the outlin
