| description |
The study of shape changes in morphology has seen a significant renovation in the last 20 years, particularly as a consequence of the development of geometric morphometric methods based on Cartesian coordinates of points. In order to extract information about shape differences when Cartesian coordinates are used, it is necessary to establish a common reference frame or system for all specimens to be compared. Therefore, a central issue in coordinate-based methods is which criterion should be used to align these configurations of points, since shape differences highly depend on those alignments. This is usually accomplished by aligning the configurations in a way that the sum of squared distances between coordinates of homologous points (landmarks) is minimized: the leastsquares superimposition method. However, it is widely recognized that this method has some limitations when shape differences are not homogeneous across landmarks.
Here we present an integrated approach for the resistant shape comparison of 3D landmark sets. It includes a new ordinary resistant Procrustes superimposition and its corresponding generalized resistant Procrustes version. In addition, they are combined with existing resistant multivariate statistical techniques for depicting the results. We demonstrate, by using both simulated and real datasets, that resistant Procrustes better detects and measures localized shape variation whenever present in up to half but one of the landmarks. The resistant Procrustes results are highly concordant with a priori biological information, and might dramatically improve the quality of inferences on patterns of shape variation. |
