近年来，各种形态测量工具的发展，给包括昆虫学在内的各个领域的大小和形状的形态比较带来了一场革命。首先，几何形态测量的理论问题的概述提出了一个谨慎的使用传统的形态测量。其次，重点放在两个广泛的方法作为几何形态测量的工具，即基于地标和基于轮廓的方法。简要概述了这两种方法提供了一些重要的警告。最后总结了几何形态计量学在昆虫学研究中的发展趋势。最后，信息提供有用的工具包，如计算机软件以及代码和软件包的R统计软件，可用于几何形态测量学。
The recent expansion of a variety of morphometric tools has brought about a revolution in the comparison of morphology in the context of the size and shape in various fields including entomology. First, an overview of the theoretical issues of geometric morphometrics is presented with a caution about the usage of traditional morphometric measurements. Second, focus is then placed on two broad approaches as tools for geometric morphometrics; that is, the landmark‐based and the outline‐based approaches. A brief outline of the two methodologies is provided with some important cautions. The increasing trend of entomological studies in using the procedures of geometric morphometrics is then summarized. Finally, information is provided on useful toolkits such as computer software as well as codes and packages of the R statistical software that could be used in geometric morphometrics.
