  2. Clipping (morphology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(morphology)

    According to Hans Marchand, clippings are not coined as words belonging to the core lexicon of a language. [3] They typically originate as synonyms [ 3 ] within the jargon or slang of an in-group , such as schools, army, police, and the medical profession.

    Clipping (morphology), the formation of a new word by shortening it, e.g. "ad" from "advertisement" Clipping (phonetics), shortening the articulation of a speech sound, usually a vowel; Clipping (publications), the cutting-out of articles from a paper publication

  4. Morphology (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphology_(biology)

    Morphology of a male skeleton shrimp, Caprella mutica Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features. [1]This includes aspects of the outward appearance (shape, structure, color, pattern, size), i.e. external morphology (or eidonomy), as well as the form and structure of internal parts like bones and organs, i.e. internal ...

    Bdelloidea / ˈ d ɛ l ɔɪ d i ə / (from Greek βδέλλα, bdella 'leech') is a class of rotifers found in freshwater habitats all over the world. There are over 450 described species of bdelloid rotifers (or 'bdelloids'), [1] distinguished from each other mainly on the basis of morphology. [2]

  6. Phylogenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetics

    It establishes the relationship between organisms with the empirical data and observed heritable traits of DNA sequences, protein amino acid sequences, and morphology. The results are a phylogenetic tree —a diagram setting the hypothetical relationships between organisms and their evolutionary history.

  7. Phylogenesis - Wikipedia

    Taxonomy (Greek language τάξις, taxis = 'order', 'arrangement' + νόμος, nomos = 'law' or 'science') is the classification, identification and naming of organisms. . It is usually richly informed by phylogenetics, but remains a methodologically and logically distinct discipline.

  8. Plant morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_morphology

    Recent studies in molecular biology started to investigate the molecular processes involved in determining the conservation and diversification of plant morphologies. In these studies transcriptome conservation patterns were found to mark crucial ontogenetic transitions during the plant life cycle which may result in evolutionary constraints ...

  9. Chemotaxonomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemotaxonomy

    The study of morphological change has shown that there are changes in the structure of animals which result in evolution. When changes take place in the structure of a living organism, they will naturally be accompanied by changes in the physiological or biochemical processes.
