Is shape in the eye of the beholder? Assessing landmarking error in geometric morphometric analyses on live fish

Geometric morphometrics is widely used to quantify morphological variation between biological specimens, but the fundamental influence of operator bias on data reproducibility is rarely considered, particularly in studies using photographs of live animals taken under field conditions. We examined th...
