Modularity of a Cambrian ptychoparioid trilobite cranidium.

Evolution & development - 1 Jan 2000

Webster Mark, Zelditch Miriam L

Abstract excerpt

Modularity of the cranidium of Crassifimbra? metalaspis, a Cambrian ptychoparioid trilobite, is investigated using landmark-based geometric morphometric methods to gain insight into the integration among morphogenetic processes responsible for shaping the head of an ancient arthropod. Of particular interest is the extent to which the structure of phenotypic integration was governed by direct interactions among...
