(1) Galton was Charles Darwin's cousin and believed that human evolution could be consciously directed, by using biometry to explain the mechanisms of inheritance that would prescribe new rules for human reproduction.(2) Five years later, in 1937, he came to Cornell University's Department of Plant Breeding, so that he could continue genetics and biometry .(3) Another project includes nursing staff visiting to teach biometry , the measurement of lens strength needed in cataract surgery.(4) He was professor of genetics, then of biometry , at University College London, and, 1940-9, chairman of the editorial board of the communist Daily Worker, to which he contributed hundreds of articles.(5) The importance of monticule characters in biometry , functional morphology, and evolution have been discussed elsewhere.(6) During nest checks, we recorded nest content, adult band number, and egg biometry or chick measurements.(7) A natural mathematician, he read psychology and mathematics at Aberdeen before undertaking postgraduate studies in mathematical statistics and biometry .(8) Mathematically trained, he was interested both in systematics and biometry .(9) His monograph was a remarkable experimental study, which influenced many people working in a wide range of areas: the physiology of sex of course, but also embryology, endocrinology, biometry .(10) His work involved studying correlation coefficients for the relation between measurements of organs in animals and is important for the beginnings of biometry .(11) To date, the embryo-lethal system in conifers has been studied using biometrical genetics because of its importance to evolution, conservation biology, and plant breeding.(12) Wall street traders using biometrics or even quasi biometrics is not commonplace.(13) Until recently, biometrics was the science of statistically evaluating various aspects of life expectancy.(14) A biometric system compares the biometric feature of a person to the biometric feature on file.(15) The great debate between the Mendelians and the biometricians had begun.(16) This null hypothesis is, however, by definition false for traits that have been shown by prior biometrical analyses to have nonzero heritabilities.
