Laboratory protocols for scanning and landmarking samples for geometric-morphometric analysis, developed for use by the Diethard Tautz Laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön, Germany. These protocols significantly simplify the respective manuals of each system being utilized.
