Increasingly, data on shape are analysed in combination with molecular genetic or ecological information, so that tools for geometric morphometric analysis are required. Morphometric studies most often use the arrangements of morphological landmarks as the data source and extract shape information from them by Procrustes superimposition. The MorphoJ software combines this approach with a wide range of methods for shape analysis in different biological contexts. The program offers an integrated and user-friendly environment for standard multivariate analyses such as principal components, discriminant analysis and multivariate regression as well as specialized applications including phylogenetics, quantitative genetics and analyses of modularity in shape data. MorphoJ is written in Java and versions for the Windows, Macintosh and Unix/Linux platforms are freely available from http://www.flywings.org.uk/MorphoJ_page.htm.

MorphoJ：用于几何形态测量学的集成软件包。

形状数据越来越多地结合分子遗传或生态信息进行分析，因此需要几何形态分析工具。形态测量研究最常使用形态地标的排列作为数据源，并通过 Procrustes 叠加从中提取形状信息。MorphoJ 软件将这种方法与各种不同生物环境中的形状分析方法相结合。该程序为标准多变量分析（如主成分、判别分析和多变量回归）以及包括系统发育学、数量遗传学和形状数据模块化分析在内的专业应用提供了一个集成且用户友好的环境。MorphoJ 是用 Java 和 Windows 版本编写的，
