Abstract

Simple Summary The family Lottidae in the Colombian Pacific is made up by a number of species with diverse morphologies that are products of their specific habitats. Several tools for studying morphological diversity have been used to identify species groups, among them traditional morphometrics and lately geometric morphometrics. Different populations of the true limpet species Lottia mesoleuca were examined to determine their population variation in Colombia, evaluating aspects of geometric variation in their shells. The results achieved indicate that geometric morphometrics has enough potential to identify small differences between populations of the true limpets independently of their similar morphologies.
