SUNY-SB Morphometrics: http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph/
Gateway to all things morphometrical, be they animal, vegetable or mineral. Jim Rohlf maintains this comprehensive and well organized resource base. A must for anyone who studies phenotypic variation (don't we all?).
Digital Taxonomy / Biodiversity page: http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/vines/8695/
A nice page of resources on biodiversity and taxonomy, maintained by Mauro Cavalcanti. It has links to free software and has a great bibliography of fish geometric morphometric studies.
John Lynch maintains a nice bibliography of papers using landmark analysis:

The ImageJ website: http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/index.html
A cutting edge concept in freeware and an awesome program for morphometrics. Image J is a Java-based version of NIH Image. It was created and is chronically revised by Wayne Rasband. Thanks Wayne! The beautiful thing about ImageJ is that it brings the power of NIH Image to all computers--it can be run interactively from the web, or can be downloaded to PCs and Macs alike.
ImageTool website: http://macorb.uthscsa.edu/dig/itdesc.html
A very nice freeware image package from the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio. It has particularly nice image editing and conversion utilities.
SigmaScan Pro website: http://www.spss.com/software/science/SigmaScan/
Of the commercial image analysis software, I like this best. It is midrange in price (about $800) and in my opinion is better than the pricey ($1,000-5,000) packages like Optimas or Image Pro. To my knowledge, SigmaScan Pro is the only package with an edge-tracking feature. Edge-tracking is nice to have available as an alternative to thresholding to find object outlines. It can import most image formats and is compatible with Twain-based image capture hardware. I highly recommend this if you are buying your image analysis software.
Snappy: http://www.play.com/products/snappy/
Here is an inexpensive but generally nice video image capture card. Attach it to an LPT port and plug in the video-that simple. It is suitable for average morphometrics use, but if you are capturing hundreds of images per session, you may want a regular framegrabber.
Evolutionary Ecology Research website:
http://www.evolutionary-ecology.com
A model journal for the cutting-edge of Academe (and the articles ain't bad either). Besides being a source for excellent literature on evolutionary ecology, this journal is unique for its philosophy. EER (Edited by Mike Rosenzweig) aims to report data quickly, inexpensively and liberally. They charge the minimum possible for the journal just to see that it is read widely. That is the main point of a journal, isn't it? Shouldn't it be? They even try to publish electronic preprints of accepted articles months before a printed version can appear. Thanks Mike, for your pioneering efforts in scientific publishing.
Literature on phenotypic plasticity: http://www.nioo.knaw.nl/cto/plant/pvt/LITPLAST.HTM
Peter van Tienderen's extensive bibliography (551 papers from 1991-1997) on plasticity. There is a version with just citations and one that comes complete with abstracts. Thanks Peter.
The Native Fish Conservancy of North America: http://www.nativefish.org
A nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation and study of North American native fishes. It is a great source of information about native fishes. It also has a remarkable gallery of freshwater fish images.
