To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life.

American Scientist

Ferdinand de Saussure

It is useful to the historian, among others, to be able to see the commonest forms of different phenomena, whether phonetic, morphological or other, and how language lives, carries on and changes over time.

Animals use a broad range of strategies to advertise themselves in the mating market. In some instances, visual cues highlight a morphological feature - for example, the peacock's tail.

Canadian Scientist

Each race (or variety) is characterized by a more or less distinct combination of inherited morphological, behavioral, physiological traits.

Canadian Psychologist

Species can be recognized by their morphological characteristics and songs.

Focuses on observable characters differentiating living entities.

Physical Traits

Helps understand evolutionary relationships of species by comparing structures.

 CT scanning, giving paleontologists a new look at dinosaurs. - You can look at the brain size, you can look at the different parts of the brain, because basically the bones that demarcate the brain cavity are very good proxy for what the brain actually looked like. So there's a ton of new morphological information

 In fact, most of the characteristics that we use to define the genus Homo, such as brain size and hip morphology, are no longer valid. No other species exists with this mix of primitive and derived traits. Why is there so much morphological variation in the genus Homo? And what force is driving that variation?

 and follow the forces which occur in your component. And you've got trillions of them. So you really align them to wood, and you take this wood and make morphological optimization, so you make structures, sub-structures, which allows you to transmit electrical energy or data.

 of the theory of punctuated equilibrium. But as a sideline, he happens to collect cornets. He has one of the world's largest collections -- about 500 of them. And he has decided to treat them as if they were trilobites, or snails, and to do a morphological analysis,

 But it's the morphological relatives - the ones that share the base O-N-E - That are really astonishing. There are the familiar ones, like "anyone," and "one-track" and "oneself" - those are obvious. But let's take a look at some unexpected derivations
