morphometrics

Sorry Nick, but morphometrics is similar the mathematics of body size and shape.

"Intraspecific macroevolution" within domestic dog breeds - The Panda's Thumb 2010

We use geometric morphometrics to quantify the diversity of skull shape in 106 breeds of domestic dog, in three wild canid species, and across the order Carnivora.

I believe our own esteemed commentator Joe Felsenstein has pushed the theory on incorporating morphometrics about as far as it has gone to date…

A morphometrics approach can capture some of that broader picture of morphology difference/sameness that the human eye sees, but incorporating morphometrics data in phylogenetic reconstruction is a somewhat hairy business.

All the possibilities should be eliminated using any available means, such as comparative morphometrics and assessments of body shape and posture, and coat colour.
