Abstract
Abstract A ‘renaissance’ in morphology was proclaimed during the last decade (Wake, D. 1982a; Liem and Wake 1985; Gans 1985) to herald the vigor with which the discipline of morphology is incorporating new techniques and theory, expanding into analysis of development, ecology, systematics, and evolution, and generating new ideas and approaches for a synthetic approach in modern biology. The ‘renaissance’ is really the product of 20 years of increasingly intensive study of morphology, the product of both new techniques and renewed interest in the biology of the organism as a whole. Natural historians, from Aristotle through the 19th century, studied the form and function of organisms through description.
