Thrilled to share my second PhD paper with @tomezard.bsky.social & @evoswami.bsky.social focused on the application of landmark-free geometric morphometrics! 🎉 Excited to contribute to advancing shape analysis techniques in biology. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1186/s128...
Assessing the application of landmark-free morphometrics to macroevolutionary analyses - BMC Ecology and Evolution
The study of phenotypic evolution has been transformed in recent decades by methods allowing precise quantification of anatomical shape, in particular 3D geometric morphometrics. While this effectiven...

turns out you can do some pretty cool stuff with the power of diceCT, SPROUT (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...), and the SmARTR pipeline (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...)

Highly recommend this very interesting new paper. I'll be reading it again--and then probably again & again. It's insightful, idea rich, & thought provoking even in places where I disagree w/ interpretations! 🧪 #EvoSky

New paper! For all of you working with 3d scans (e.g. micro-CT, MRI), check out SPROUT, a rapid open-source tool for generating segmented and parcellated data, meaning your scans are separated into the individual elements without any manual labelling or training. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Laptops: check. Coffee: check. Giant box of homemade focaccia: check. And with all hands on deck, we are now ready to finish off our paper describing SPROUT, a new semi-automated (emphasis on the automated, for real this time) method for parcellating CT images into 3D segments. Stay tuned!
