   Biological Form and Ontogeny
   In biology, form pertains to the structure, shape, and architecture of living organisms. This structural manifestation is governed by genetic instruction but is highly sensitive to environmental cues during development (ontogeny). The study of morphogenesis investigates how simple cellular interactions lead to complex, recognizable forms, …

   Data acquisition typically involves 3D digitizing of specimens or the extraction of coordinates from 2D photographs. These raw coordinate sets ($x, y, z$) are subjected to a series of transformations to isolate shape variation: Translation (centering the configuration), Rotation (aligning principal axes), and Scaling (standardizing size). The resulting superimposition is achieved via [Generalized Procrustes Analysis](/ent…
