S. Huxley et al. in Nature 23 Aug. 225/1 We wish to suggest that allometry be the covering term, and allomorphosis the term for phylogenetic comparison. This indicates that all these differences..concern differing rates of growth in the individual, and..different (morphological or chemical) patterns brought about..in the completed individual of different groups. 1977 S. J. Gould Ontogeny & Phylogeny 479 Systematic change of shape among successive adults of a phyletic sequence, for example, is allomorphosis. 1987 R. L. Ciochon & J. G. Fleagle Primate Evol. & Human Origins vii. xli. 332/1 The size-difference between the robust and gracile groups seems insufficient to account for their divergences in shape by allomorphosis alone. 2003 Ornithol. Monogr. No. 53 2 Pectoral allomorphosis (intraspecific allometry) displayed higher slopes in many flightless species, consistent with termination of pectoral growth at an earlier stage of skeletal development through heterochrony.
