Morphometrics: Measurement, Ecology and evolutionary biology & Forms

Morphometrics (from Greek μορΦή morphe, "shape, form", and -μετρία metria, "measurement") or morphometry refers to the quantitative analysis of form, a concept that encompasses size and shape. Morphometric analyses are commonly performed on organisms, and are useful in analyzing their fossil record, the impact of mutations on shape, developmental changes…
