A Protocol for the Creation of Useful Geometric Shape Metrics Illustrated with a Newly Derived Geometric Measure of Leaf Circularity
Premise of the study: I present a protocol for creating geometric leaf shape metrics to facilitate widespread application of geometric morphometric methods to leaf shape measurement. Methods and Results: To quantify circularity, I created a novel shape metric in the form of the vector between a cir...
