Quantitative genetics of geometric shape: heritability and the pitfalls of the univariate approachChristian Peter Klingenberg
Department of Biology, University of Konstanz, 78457 Konstanz, Germany
Evolution 57:191-5. 2003
Developmental integration in a complex morphological structure: how distinct are the modules in the mouse mandible?Christian Peter Klingenberg
School of Biological Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PT, UK
Evol Dev 5:522-31. 2003..Modularity is therefore manifest as the relative independence of parts within the framework of overall integration of the mandible as a whole-it is a matter of degrees, not all or nothing...
Integration and modularity of quantitative trait locus effects on geometric shape in the mouse mandibleChristian Peter Klingenberg
School of Biological Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PT, United Kingdom

Evolution of sexual dimorphism of wing shape in the Drosophila melanogaster subgroupNelly A Gidaszewski
Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Manchester, Michael Smith Building, Manchester, UK
BMC Evol Biol 9:110. 2009..Allometry, the shape change associated with size variation, has been suggested to be a main component of SShD. Yet little is known about the relative importance of the allometric and non-allometric components for the evolution of SShD...
Large-scale diversification of skull shape in domestic dogs: disparity and modularityAbby Grace Drake
Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK
Am Nat 175:289-301. 2010..These patterns of variation are also found for the wolf and across the Carnivora, suggesting that they existed before the domestication of dogs and are not a result of selective breeding...
MorphoJ: an integrated software package for geometric morphometricsChristian Peter Klingenberg
Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Manchester, Michael Smith Building, Manchester, UK
Mol Ecol Resour 11:353-7. 2011..MorphoJ is written in Java and versions for the Windows, Macintosh and Unix/Linux platforms are freely available from http://www.flywings.org.uk/MorphoJ_page.htm...
There's something afoot in the evolution of ontogeniesChristian Peter Klingenberg
Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Manchester, Michael Smith Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, UK
BMC Evol Biol 10:221. 2010..Altogether, therefore, this new evidence underscores the tight interactions between developmental and ecological factors in the evolution of morphological traits...
The pace of morphological change: historical transformation of skull shape in St Bernard dogsAbby Grace Drake
Faculty of Life Sciences, The University of Manchester, Michael Smith Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, UK
Proc Biol Sci 275:71-6. 2008..The dramatic modification of the St Bernard skull demonstrates that selection can achieve sustained and substantial change and can completely overcome constraints such as allometry...
Distances and directions in multidimensional shape spaces: implications for morphometric applicationsChristian Peter Klingenberg
Faculty of Life Sciences, The University of Manchester, Michael Smith Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, United Kingdom
Syst Biol 54:678-88. 2005

New Phytol 196:945-54. 2012..The new morphometric approach is promising for further analyses of floral symmetry and asymmetry in evolutionary and developmental contexts...
Beyond bilateral symmetry: geometric morphometric methods for any type of symmetryYoland Savriama
Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Manchester, Michael Smith Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, UK
BMC Evol Biol 11:280. 2011..g. many algae, corals and flowers) or rotational symmetry (e.g. sea urchins and many flowers). So far, there is no general method for the shape analysis of these types of symmetry...
Morphometric integration and modularity in configurations of landmarks: tools for evaluating a priori hypothesesChristian Peter Klingenberg
Faculty of Life Sciences, The University of Manchester, Michael Smith Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PT, UK
Evol Dev 11:405-21. 2009..I propose a criterion for spatial contiguity for sets of landmarks using an adjacency graph. The new methods are demonstrated with data on shape of the wing in Drosophila melanogaster and the mandible of the house mouse...
Shape analysis of symmetric structures: quantifying variation among individuals and asymmetryChristian Peter Klingenberg
Department of Biology, University of Konstanz, Germany

Faculty of Life Sciences, The University of Manchester, Michael Smith Building, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, United Kingdom
Evolution Int J Org Evolution 60:2529-38. 2006..Overall, these results suggest that Hsp90 contributes to, but is not controlling, the buffering of phenotypic variation in wing shape...
The relationship between fluctuating asymmetry and environmental variance in rhesus macaque skullsKatherine Elizabeth Willmore
Department of Medical Sciences, Health Sciences Center, University of Calgary, 3330 Hospital Drive NW, Calgary, Alberta T2N 4N1, Canada
Evolution 59:898-909. 2005..However, the low correlations reported here are also evidence for a degree of independence between these variability components...
