  2. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liliana_M._Dávalos

    Her work utilizes Neotropical bats as a model system for the development of molecular, morphological, and ecological characteristics. Other disciplines practiced by Dávalos include systematics, bioinformatics , geospatial analysis , and the assessment of conservation policy.

  4. Ecomorphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecomorphology

    Then, description and comparison of morphological form, primarily for use in avian classification, was focal point of morphological research. However, during the 1930s and 40s morphology as a field shrank. This was likely due to the emergence of new areas of biological inquiry enabled by new techniques.

  5. Molecular phylogenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_phylogenetics

    Molecular phylogenetics (/ m ə ˈ l ɛ k j ʊ l ər ˌ f aɪ l oʊ dʒ ə ˈ n ɛ t ɪ k s, m ɒ-, m oʊ-/ [1] [2]) is the branch of phylogeny that analyzes genetic, hereditary molecular differences, predominantly in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships. From these analyses, it is possible to determine ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetics

    One use of phylogenetic analysis involves the pharmacological examination of closely related groups of organisms. Advances in cladistics analysis through faster computer programs and improved molecular techniques have increased the precision of phylogenetic determination, allowing for the identification of species with pharmacological potential.

  7. 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.

  8. Biosignature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosignature

    This form of biosignature is called an "agnostic biosignature" because it is independent of the form of life that produces it. It is widely agreed that all life–no matter how different it is from life on Earth–needs a source of energy to thrive. [71] This must involve some sort of chemical disequilibrium, which can be exploited for metabolism.
