Work Description

Title: Dataset for complexity of evolutionary allometry Open Access Deposited

h
Attribute Value
Methodology
  • Centroid size and shape coordinates of landmarks digitized from photographs after Procrustes superimposition and sliding semilandmarks for a geometric morphometric analyses of ontogenetic and evolutionary allometry.
Description
  • Each row in the file contains the museum ID (museum where the specimen is located and the accession number), the species name, and the values for centroid size, followed by the x,y coordinates for each landmark. Any program that can read in a csv file can read this file.

The file Sciuridae_Adults.csv contains the size and shape data of all adults from which species' means were computed and Sciuridae_Ontogeny.csv contains the ontogenetic series. In both files, each row contains the complete data for an individual specimen. The first column contains the Museum acronym (for their names, see below). The next column contains the specimen's museum catalog number, followed by its species' name, then centroid size (CS) and then the x, y coordinates for each shape coordinate (numbered). The coordinates are for the landmarks following Procrustes superimposition, with semilandmarks slid to minimize bending energy.
