Morphometric identification of individuals when there are more shape variables than reference specimens: a case study in Galápagos tortoises.

Comptes rendus biologies - 1 Jan 2012

Chiari Ylenia, Claude Julien

Abstract excerpt

Molecular biology techniques are useful for taxonomic assignment, but they are not always accessible and can be expensive and time consuming to perform. Morphological methods to identify the origin of individuals could be valuable if they can be performed rapidly, accurately, and with minimal resources. In order to correctly assign the origin of individuals from two distinct tortoise lineages, we studied here the...
