1931T. L. Woo in Biometrika XXII. 325 A special advantage of taking measurements on the individual bones of the skull is that we thus get some idea of the size and shape of relatively small regions,..giving us a better appreciation of local asymmetries than the run of anthropometric measurements can. I think it might be useful to distinguish the two types of measurements as ethnometric and morphometric, for both are actually anthropometric. 1934Geogr. Jrnl. LXXXIV. 424 Other questions, such as the morphology of arctic regions, morphometric methods, classification and variation of climate. 1952Bull. Geol. Soc. Amer. LXIII. 1117 Detailed morphometric analysis of basins in five sample areas in the equilibrium stage show distinctive, though small, differences in hypsometric integrals and curve forms. 1968Mineral. Abstr. XIX. 240/1 Cumulative curves for the morphometric parameter of the grains composing a sample of sand are figured. 1970Evolution XXIV. 220/2 Morphometric data from 91 crania and 123 mandibles of 2 and 3 year old male white-tailed deer from Michigan were used in this study. 1972A. Young Slopes i. 3 Morphometric analysis takes the river basin as the fundamental unit; this is a consequence of its origin in hydrological studies, in particular in the attempt to predict flood discharge from the landform characteristics of river catchments. 1974Nature 24 May 371/1 A three-fold enrichment (as judged by morphometric analysis of electron micrographs) of synaptic junctions..was obtained.

I. ii. 170 The number of lakes of maximum depth of over 400 m. will, however, be greatly increased when the large lakes of southern South America become known morphometrically. 1960Jrnl. Animal Ecol. XXIX. 310 The parents were most probably very similar morphometrically to the fledglings. |
