Morphometric

Using a new technique called morphometric analysis, in which post-mortem brain tissue is divided into tiny parcels and examined, Dr. Martha Herbert, a pediatric neurologist at Harvard Medical School, found an anomaly in the white matter of autistic brains -- it is asymmetrical. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Museum collections are spotty, and field work, supplemented by morphometric and genetic analysis, is essential for documenting geographic distributions, ecological characteristics and species boundaries. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The talk was by Abby Drake, then a grad student, and reported on a huge digital morphometric comparison of the skulls of dogs and many representatives from the order Carnivora dogs, cats, bears, sea lions, etc. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Its subsequent discovery in eastern Arunachal Pradesh, India, based on morphometric analyses of two skulls collected from local hunters, doubled the size of its known east-west range, which is significant for a newly-discovered and poorly understood species. ❋ Unknown (2008)

What is normally referred to as factor analysis - if it is unrotated - is merely principal component analysis and this is the technique most widely used for data reduction of morphometric data Stephen Jay Gould has an elegant description of principal components analysis - which if my memory serves, he refers to incorrectly as “factor analysi” - in his “The Mismeasure of Man”. ❋ Unknown (2010)

While today virtually all morphometric data capture is via digitizing of images, it started with the use of calipers. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Its strongest morphometric affinities are with Upper Paleolithic (UP) Eurasians rather than recent, geographically proximate people. ❋ Unknown (2007)
