【 摘 要 】

ABSTRACT: Shell morphology is a central feature of bivalve biology in fields such as taxonomy, evolution, and functional anatomy. When allometric shell growth occurs, traditional morphometric methods usually fail to provide robust, size-free shape variables. We used a more integrative approach, geometric morphometrics, to examine ontogenetic changes in the shell of the scallop
