theory of measurement and historicity as a fundamental notion. Among the most developed fields of measurement in biology are the measurement of genetic

what part of the body the measurement is taken at, state of consciousness (waking, sleeping, sedated), and emotions. Body temperature is kept in the

Biology is the scientific study of life and living organisms. It is a broad natural science that encompasses a wide range of fields and unifying principles

Bird measurement or bird biometrics are approaches to quantify the size of birds in scientific studies. The variation in dimensions and weights across

many cases. A more complex measurement, encephalization quotient, takes into account allometric effects of widely divergent body sizes across several taxa

of the iliac crest. For both measurements, the individual should stand with feet close together, arms at the side and body weight evenly distributed, and

distribution of duplicate body parts or shapes within the body of an organism. Importantly, unlike in mathematics, symmetry in biology is always approximate

measures of overall body fat weight and density, and research has questioned the connection between skinfold fat and deep body fat measurements, these measures
