Geometric morphometrics for biologists: a primer
TL;DR: The second edition of "Geometric Morphometrics for Biologists" represents the current state of the art and adds new examples and summarizes recent literature, as well as provides an overview of new software and step-by-step guidance through details of carrying out the analyses.

TL;DR: It is reported that Atoh1, a gene also known as Math1 encoding a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor and key regulator of hair cell development, induces regeneration of hair cells and substantially improves hearing thresholds in the mature deaf inner ear after delivery to nonsensory cells through adenovectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphometrics, homology, and phylogenetics: quantified characters as synapomorphies
TL;DR: It is argued that, at least one morpho- formational homology, both suitable and useful taxic homologies is synapomorphies that in phylogenetic analysis because charac- have passed three tests: conjunction, simi- ters found by it can be treated in the same larity, and congruence.

Modularity of the rodent mandible: integrating bones, muscles, and teeth.
TL;DR: Several models explain how a complex integrated system like the rodent mandible can arise from multiple developmental modules, including epigenetic effects of muscles on bones, but no model fits well and none predicts the complex structure found in the exploratory analyses.
