Morphological Data from Tursiops spp.

Data includes linear measurement and landmarks placed on digital photographs of Tursiops spp specimens from the Natural History Museum (London), the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum for Nature and Science (Tokyo). Landmarks were placed on the photographs using the software ImageJ, and used to carry out Geometric Morphometric analyses. The dataset supports the following publication: Oxford-Smith N, Ruta M, Gao A, Viaud-Martinez KA, Sabin R, Herman J, Ososky J, Tajima Y, Yamada TK, Kaliontzopoulou A, Moura AE (2023) Skull morphology of bottlenose dolphins worldwide and patterns of adaptation between coastal and offshore environments. J Zool. 322: 42-57. doi: 10.1111/JZO.13122

本数据集涵盖采集自伦敦自然历史博物馆、史密森尼学会及东京国立自然科学博物馆的宽吻海豚属（Tursiops spp）标本数码照片的线性测量数据与标注地标点。所有地标点均通过ImageJ软件（ImageJ）标注于对应照片之上，并被用于开展几何形态测量分析（Geometric Morphometric Analyses）。本数据集支撑下述学术文献：Oxford-Smith N、Ruta M、Gao A、Viaud-Martinez KA、Sabin R、Herman J、Ososky J、Tajima Y、Yamada TK、Kaliontzopoulou A、Moura AE于2023年发表的论文《全球宽吻海豚头骨形态及近岸与远洋环境的适应性模式》，该文刊载于《动物学杂志》（J Zool）第322卷，第42-57页，DOI编号为10.1111/JZO.13122。
