Definition of morphometry in English:
morphometry
noun mɔːˈfɒmɪtrimôrˈfämətrē

Example sentencesExamples

- Several methods of geometric morphometry allow a quantitative approach to the morphology of the exoskeleton by the use of landmark configurations.
- Our participants have been extensively characterised according to structural change, morphometry, hip pain, and risk factors for osteoarthritis and provide a significant resource for further molecular genetic studies.
- In future studies, the stress and strain distributions in the vessel will be computed and correlated with the morphometry of individual fibers.
Derivatives
adjective
For conservation purposes, quantification of level and distribution of genetic variation can be obtained from morphometric traits, enzyme loci, and DNA sequences.
Example sentencesExamples

adverb

Example sentencesExamples
