Ostracod taxa are grouped into a Class based on gross morphology (what they look like).
Allometry is an important way to describe changes in gross morphology (body shape) during evolution.
As compared with plants, animals clearly show less plasticity in gross morphology.
Ostracods are grouped together based on gross morphology, but the group may not be monophyletic; their molecular phylogeny remains ambiguous.
A related concept is that of form taxon, "wastebasket" groupings that are united by gross morphology.
Virulence pattern and gross morphology of isolates of S. philippinensis from Bukidnon.
Our gross morphology - our whole body - changed, and our "minds" changed in the process.
Control Lifr -/- pups could not be identified by gross morphology or behavior.
The gross morphology and behavior could accurately identify the 4 Lifr -/- pups following treatment that presumably heightened the fetal exposure to GC's.
In terms of gross morphology, the specimen's dorsoventrally compressed and radially symmetrical, as you can see.
