Creating a new vision for the future: A report from the Blue Ribbon Commission

Many opportunities have been presented to coordinate, collaborate, and to create new activities, services, and structures to better meet the needs of current and potential members. Rather than attempting to evaluate the merits of each of these three avenues in this report, the goal is foster an informed conversation about the future. The choices made by the organizations may include a combination of activities among these three categories. The critical next step is for a wider conversation among members of the organizations to take place concerning the future of the profession

Table of feeding kinesis averages and standard errors for each individual SPECIMEN analyzed in this study

Landmark data for cichlid motion shapes

Landmark data for cichlid motion shapes. File is in .tps format, which can be opened in the tps series of morphometric programs as well as the package geomorph in R (with the readland.tps function). Note that scale is not provided in this file and must be implemented separately, with the "scale" factor in the accompanying "strike info.txt" file
