Morphological Disparity

Morphological Disparity is a quantitative metric in evolutionary biology that measures the extent of anatomical differentiation among species or higher taxa within a clade, distinguishing it from related concepts such as species richness or phylogenetic diversity by focusing specifically on the geometric and functional variation in form across morphological space.
