Alpha shapes: determining 3D shape complexity across morphologically diverse structures

Abstract Background Following recent advances in bioimaging, high-resolution 3D models of biological structures are now generated rapidly and at low-cost. To use this data to address evolutionary and ecological questions, an array of tools has been developed to conduct shape analysis and quantify to...
