Overview
- Explores novel techniques like landmark analysis in geometric morphometrics as an advancement to long known traditional morphometrics
- Describes taxonomic identifications to examine the biodiversity of Paleozoic extinct marine brachiopods
- Presents the idea that morphology of ancient shells can be appropriately used to interpret their diversity, taxonomy, ecology and evolutionary patterns in time and space
