This volume explores the integration of morphology and shape analysis (morphometrics) with phylogenetic systematics. It compiles papers from a symposium held in Glasgow in 1999, offering theoretical, methodological, and applied insights into evolutionary biology and systematics. It covers continuous character analysis, geometric morphometrics, homology, and statistical tools in phylogenetic inf…
