Abstract
Here we study the variation of the Paleozoic to Mesozoic ammonoid whorl profile shape (WPS, in previous contributions referred as the whorl cross-section shape) employing a geometric morphometric approach, virtual modelling, and statistical tools to assess possible biological phenomena. For this approach, a dataset covering 300 individuals (each belonging to a different genus) was generated from revised specimens and published literature data. From this dataset, we proposed several predictors (e
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1997, Palaeontologia Electronica (PE) is the longest running open-access, peer-reviewed electronic journal and covers all aspects of palaeontology. PE uses an external double-blind peer review system for all manuscripts. Copyright of scientific papers is held by one of the three sponsoring professional societies at the author''s choice. Reviews, commentaries, and other material is placed in the public domain. PE papers comply with regulations for taxonomic nomenclature established in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature and the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants.
