Ecomorphology is primarily concerned with analyses of the adaptiveness of morphological features and all dependent, correlated topics such as the comparisons of adaptations in different organisms, modifications of adaptive features due to competition and other causes, structure of ecological communities, diversity within taxa, etc,Bock, 1990[1].
