New article out today in #Scientific #Data: Lewandowski et al. (2025) present the #Apemen #Faces #Database (#ApeFD)!
620 #hominin faces, with #morphometric data + "vibe check" (#threat, #sociability, #trustworthiness... you name it).

Researchers can use this #open dataset to explore questions on #ocular #morphology, social perception, facial morphology, and even applications in cross-disciplinary fields such as #primatology, #cultural #anthropology, and media studies. Go wild, use it in your research, and e-mail us if you have any questions! :D

Super long shot but, does anyone would now where to buy for cheap (student prize 😅 ) this book?
#Bookstein F.L., 1991. #Morphometric Tools for #Landmark Data: #Geometry and #Biology

In Abebooks is like 60€ + shipping ...

Would to have it in my collection

Geometric #Morphometric Assessment of Toe Shape in Forest and #Urban #Lizards Following Hurricane Disturbances
Michaud, Travis Hagey et al

"We found that the #hurricanes affected toe #morphology differently between forest and urban sites."

So many IOB authors gathered at #ICVM2023 !
If you're there and waiting for a talk to start, no better time to peruse

A Practical Guide to Sliding & Surface Semilandmarks in #Morphometric Analyses

by Bardua, Felice, Watanabe, Fabre, Goswami

Morphological disparity of early #ammonoids: A geometric #morphometric approach to investigate conch geometry of Early–Middle Devonian ammonoids of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas by analysing the shape of their whorl profile:
http://dx.doi.org/10.4202/app.01033.2022

Study highlights that the increase in #disparity began earlier than the increase in #diversity, but found no evidence for an early burst of #shape diversity (i.e., the rise does not exceed expectations given diversity).
