by jorg, last updated 4/19/11, sharing set to Public
The following files contain the R fitted model objects that have been developed to identify salmonid vertebrae to the species level using vertebral morphology, and a brief explanation about how to identify new specimen data. The models are from the paper:
Huber, H.R., Jorgensen, J.C., Butler, V.L., Baker, G., and Stevens, R. 2011. Can salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.) be identified to species using vertebral morphometrics? Journal of Archaeological Science 38:136-146. doi:10.1016/j.jas.2010.08.020 [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2010.08.020; a pdf of the pre-publication version is with the files below.]
We are actively researching in this area, inquire with me (jeff dot jorgensen at noaa dot gov) for details. If you check back periodically, you may notice occasional updates.
