Overview

Morphology is the branch of biology concerned with the form and structure of organisms and their parts, examining external features and internal organization, their development, and their relationship to function and evolution. It encompasses gross and microscopic anatomy, comparative and functional morphology, and the use of morphological characters in classification and identification. By relating structure to function and to phylogeny, morphology helps explain how organisms are built, how they have diversified, and how anatomical variation relates to ecology, behaviour, and adaptation. In entomology, morphological study of body segments, appendages, mouthparts, wings, and reproductive structures supports species identification, systematics, and the understanding of insect biology, while in the broader life and medical sciences morphology characterizes tissues, organs, and cellular architecture in health and disease. The research themes reflected in the associated literature illustrate this breadth, spanning tissue and cellular morphology in clinical specimens, anthropometric and structural measurement, and morphological assessment of organs and lesions. Quantitative and comparative description, the linkage of form to function, and morphology's role in classification and diagnosis recur across these applications. The journal publishes peer-reviewed studies, descriptive reports, and reviews addressing the morphology of organisms and biological structures, including insect anatomy and systematics and comparative and applied morphological analysis.
