Description

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.
