Threatened Neotropical mollusks: analysis of shape differences in three endemic snails from High Paraná River by geometric morphometrics Moluscos neotropicales amenazados: análisis de diferencias de forma en tres caracoles endémicos del río Alto Paraná mediante morfometría geométrica
Variation in shape among a living and 2 extinct aquatic snails of the genus Aylacostoma, using a geometric morphometric method of thin plate splines and multivariate analysis was investigated. The analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic capability of this method and to explore shell shape...
