封面说明：脊椎动物数字形态学数据库（ADMorph）是开放共享的三维形态学模型数据库，致力于为脊椎动物演化、比较解剖学、功能形态学研究及科学教育提供高质量数字形态资源。ADMorph中的数字资源既可用于系统发育分析、几何形态测量、有限元分析和计算流体动力学模拟等定量研究，也可服务于比较解剖教学、虚拟展览、科学复原、三维打印和虚拟现实展示，推动珍贵的脊椎动物形态数据从“被保存”走向“被发现、被使用和被重新探索”，为虚拟古生物学、脊椎动物演化研究与开放科学提供长期、可持续的数字基础设施。详见本期姚苏元等人文(p. )。（制作：中国科学院古脊椎动物与古人类研究所拟石古生物可视化实验室）
Cover image: The Archives of Digital Morphology (ADMorph) is an open-access database of 3D models of extant and fossil vertebrates. It provides high-quality digital morphological resources for research in vertebrate evolution, comparative anatomy and functional morphology, as well as for science education. ADMorph supports quantitative research, including phylogenetic analysis, geometric morphometrics, finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics. Its resources can also be used for comparative anatomy teaching, virtual exhibitions, scientific reconstruction, 3D printing and virtual reality. By transforming valuable vertebrate morphological data from resources that are merely “preserved” into resources that can be “discovered, used and explored anew,” ADMorph provides a long-term, sustainable digital infrastructure for virtual paleontology, vertebrate evolutionary research and open science.
