"morphology go that way"? what? sounds like a joke á la "money printer go brrr".
morphological change is maybe a better label? Haha what up brah (talk) 13:38, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not entirely sure I see any joke here, as the intention is entirely to explain the science. However, the diagram is a representation in 2-dimensional space of a multi-dimensional space. Such dimensions could be change in any characteristic of organisms in a population. The 'morphology' dimension thus represents a scale from some starting value to progressively more different values (you can think of them as eigenvalues if that helps you). Change would be measured as a delta on that dimension. I hope this is clear. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:43, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
