- In biology,
phenetics (/fɪˈnɛtɪks/; from
Ancient Gr**** φαίνειν (phainein) 'to appear'), also
known as taximetrics, is an
attempt to
classify organisms...
- "distance"
between taxa.
Phenetic methods have
become relatively rare in
modern times,
largely su****ded by
cladistic analyses, as
phenetic methods do not distinguish...

Peter Sneath proposed a
variation on the
morphological species concept, a
phenetic species,
defined as a set of
organisms with a
similar phenotype to each...

enough to
skilfully justify not
using them.
Phenetics was an
attempt to
determine the
relationships of
organisms through a measure...
- needed] In addition, the
class rank is
quite often not an
evolutionary but a
phenetic or
paraphyletic group and as
opposed to
those ranks governed by the ICZN...
- with a
certain degree of
morphological or
developmental similarity (the
phenetic definition), or a

- research. In the past, the
taxonomy of
gastropods was
largely based on
phenetic morphological characters of the taxa. The
recent advances are more based...

demonstrate close phenetic affinities to "Europoid po****tions", but
rather found that they formed...

later elaborated by the same authors. They
divided the
field into
phenetics in
which classifications are
formed based on the
patterns of
overall similarities...
