Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geometric morphometry (GM) is the shape statistical analysis based on Cartesian coordinates (landmarks) that allows structural data to be quantified and the variation between morphologies to be studied by analyzing their position in space. GM is presented as an alternative to traditional methods for morphological studies through more descriptive and qualitative analyses. With this technique, a new updated toolbox is shown for the study of variations in size and shape, using advanced statistics and a series of tools for the visualization of results.
In this context, original research in which geometric morphometry contributes to the resolution of classification problems are welcome. In this sense, scientific contributions can be related to works in biological anthropology and, in general, in the biological sciences and procedures for the statistical analysis of forms.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
