• Constraint and adaptation in the evolution of carnivoran skull shape (2011, background): “Compared to other studies of carnivoran ecomorphology (e.g., Figueirido et al. 2009, 2010a,b), our results show that by combining the information contained in the position of selected landmarks and the curvature of outlines, CP-EES provides a morein-depth morphological characterization of the…”
