Distinction between Mulloidichthys flavolineatus juveniles from Reunion Island and Mauritius Island (south‐west Indian Ocean) based on otolith morphometrics (2006, methodology): “Normalized elliptic Fourier descriptors were calculated with Shape software ( Iwata & Ukai, 2002 ).”
Leaf area estimation by simple measurements and evaluation of leaf area prediction models in Cabernet-Sauvignon grapevine leaves (2008, background): “Organ shape determination is useful for many studies in genetics, ecology, and taxonomy (Iwata and Ukai 2002).”
Diversity of Landraces of the White-flowered Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) and its Wild Relatives in Kenya: Fruit and Seed Morphology (2005, methodology): “2 (a free software package downloaded from the world wide web; Iwata and Ukai 2002), the image contours expressed as a chain-code were described by the coefficients of EFDs and analysis using PCA.”
Geometric morphometrics in entomology: Basics and applications (2018, methodology): “Another integrated software package for EF analysis is SHAPE (http://lbm.ab.a.u-tokyo.ac.jp/ ~iwata/shape/, Iwata & Ukai 2002), where all the software programs required for EF analysis are included as in Momocs.”
Characterization of local populations of the common sole Solea solea (Pisces, Soleidae) in the NW Mediterranean through otolith morphometrics and shape analysis (2007, methodology): “For each numerical image, the software Shape 1.2 ( Iwata and Ukai 2002 ) calculated the Fourier coefficients in order to make them invariants to the otolith size and its orientation (and position) regarding the beginning of the outline, which is arbitrarily defined.”
SmartGrain: High-Throughput Phenotyping Software for Measuring Seed Shape through Image Analysis1[C][W][OA] (2012, methodology): “Elliptic Fourier descriptors have been used to examine variations in grain shape (Iwata and Ukai, 2002; Iwata et al., 2010), but only six grains per accession are measured, grains must be exactingly laid in the same direction, and actual lengths are not measured.”
Phylogeography and climatic niche evolution in live oaks (Quercus series Virentes) from the tropics to the temperate zone (2011, methodology): “Three dried, pressed leaves from a subsample of individuals from each site were scanned and analysed for laminar leaf area and leaf shape using the leaf imaging software Shape 1.2 (Iwata & Ukai, 2002).”
Creating complex habitats for restoration and reconciliation (2015, neutral): “accurately (Iwata and Ukai, 2002).”
