> What about the Tarpy group measuring "morpametrics" 

That's redundant. Morphometrics _is_ measuring. It literally means "shape and size measuring." These factors are important in evaluating plants and animals. No one wants to buy the runty, deformed or lopsided. In fact, there is a field of research called Fluctuating Assymetry. 

Fluctuating asymmetry of invertebrate populations as a biological indicator of environmental quality. Geoffrey M. Clarke.  "The use of FA of invertebrate populations as a simple, sensitive and cost-effective biomonitoring system for the detection of environmental stress is discussed."
