Specimen alignment with limited point-based homology: 3D morphometrics of disparate bivalve shells (Mollusca: Bivalvia)
S. M. Edie, K. S. Collins, D. Jablonski
This paper develops an axis-based framework for aligning bivalve shells using the shell beak as a homology, showing that alignment choices affect shape differences and highlights the hinge line orientation as a historical approach.
