morphometricsn.

Brit.

/mɔːfəˈmɛtrɪks/, U.S.

/ˌmɔrfəˈmɛtrɪks/

Origin: Formed within English, by conversion. Etymon: morphometric adj.

Etymology: < morphometric adj.: see -ic suffix 2. Compare earlier morphometry n.

1. With plural agreement. Morphometric features or properties; characteristics of shape, dimension, or proportion.

1960 Jrnl. Animal Ecol. 29 309 The shape of an animal, of which morphometrics are a numerical expression, is dependent upon genetically transmitted characters and the modifying influence of the environment on them.

1967 Limnol. & Oceanogr. 12 681/2 The environmental influence on a truly epifaunal organism at these levels should be reflected by a change in morphology or morphometrics, or both.

1990 Jrnl. Plankton Res. 12 1189 A more detailed study has been made of animals preserved (by freezing) from 38 swarms. This has included more complete morphometrics.

2. With singular agreement. Morphometry; esp. the use of quantitative measurements of size, shape, and other numerical properties in the mathematical analysis of similarity among organisms; numerical taxonomy.
