[Toward exploration of morphological disparity of measurable traits of mammalian skull. 3. Distance-based analysis of the morphospace volume and occupation].

Abstract excerpt

Under consideration is a numerical approach to analysis of morphospace volume and occupation based on calculation of Euclidian distances among specimens. The approach, unlike the one of M. Foot (1996), presumes consideration of inter-group distances as one of the morphospace subspaces and definition of the entire morphospace as a totality of both within and between group differences. The subspaces overlap, as a...
