Phylogenetic, ecological and biomechanical constraints on larval form: a comparative morphological analysis of barnacle nauplii

Barnacle naupliar larvae are differentiated from other zooplankton by their unique pair of frontal lateral horns, frontal filaments, and a pear-shaped cephalic shield. Their morphology impose constraints on their ecological functions and reflect …

Automated otolith image classification with multiple views: an evaluation on Sciaenidae

Combined multiple 2D views (proximal, anterior and ventral aspects) of the sagittal otolith are proposed here as a method to capture shape information for fish classification. Classification performance of single view compared with combined 2D views …
