Patterns of variation within the Montastraea "annularis" species complex: results from 2-D and 3-D geometric morphometrics
Geometric morphometrics are a useful tool for studying morphological variation in scleractinian corals, extant and extinct. In the case of modern specimens, three-dimensional features of the calical surface can be measured. These features are rarely preserved in fossil corals, however, necessitating...
