Dear morphometricians,

We are glad to announce that the Special Issue: Form-Function Correlation Paradigm in Mammalogy. A Tribute to Leonard B. Radinsky (1937-1985) was finally published: https://link.springer.com/journal/10914/volumes-and-issues/28-1 <https://link.springer.com/journal/10914/volumes-and-issues/28-1>. The full list of contents (and Research Gate links) is at the bottom of the message.

In this special issue, authors have contributed their work as a tribute to Radinsky, which delineates three main key topics/subjects: the temporal context in which Radinsky developed his ideas; the proposal and evolution of the form-function binomial; and how it was applied to the main groups of mammals from the Southern Cone.This collection of works is intended to highlight Radinsky's legacy to the study of the form-function relationship of South American mammals, and more specifically, in Argentina.

This Issue seems to be the result of the access to powerful devices to quantify morphology, as well as the development and availability of useful free statistic and morphometric software that granted the possibility of applying a great diversity of state-of-the-art analyses in reasonable computing times and very affordably, especially important for researchers in developing countries which positively enriched their ecomorphological, functional and biomechanical analyses.

We would like to deeply thank again to all contributors and reviewers; to John Wible, (former editor-in-chief of the Journal of Mammalian Evolution), for his support, dedication, and shared enthusiasm in honoring Radinsky; to Amelia Chemisquy and Pancho Prevosti, for allowing us to organize the symposium “El paradigma de correlación forma-función en mastozoología: un tributo a Leonard Radinsky (1937–1985)” during the XXXI Jornadas Argentinas de Mastozoología (SAREM) in La Rioja, Argentina - October 2018; and of course to those teachers who, like Len, encouraged us while students to research for improving the understanding of animal form and function.

Hope you all enjoy reading it!

Sincerely


Guillermo Cassini
