A huge congratulations to Leah Rubin, PaleoFISHES Visiting PhD student and all of Team Denticles for the publication of a paper that has been “in the works” since, well, 2014 (and really since ~2017). The paper, “Quantifying the Denticle Multiverse: A Standardized Coding System to Capture Three Dimensional Morphological Variations for Quantitative Evolutionary and Ecological Studies of Elasmobranch Denticles” presents a universal character coding scheme to capture denticle morphological diversity. The coding scheme is not dependent on imaging type, and can be used by researchers in all fields – from paleontology to functional morphology to developmental biology to bio-inspired design. The paper is fully opens source, and it comes with a fully developed R package to carry out analyses.<\/p>\n
