Challenges in Identifying and Interpreting Organizational Modules in Morphology

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Form is a rich concept that agglutinates information about the proportions and topological arrangement of body parts. Modularity is readily observable in both the variation of proportions (variational modules) and the organization of topology (organizational modules). The study of variational modularity and of organizational modularity faces similar challenges regarding the identification of meaningful modules and...
