Usage: technical; biology; rare in general usage
2. In mathematics and abstract algebra, plural of heteromorphism; mappings or transformations between different algebraic structures that preserve certain properties but are not isomorphisms.
Usage: technical; mathematics; specialized field terminology

Examples

• The heteromorphisms observed in the insect population suggested adaptation to different environmental pressures.
• Biologists documented several heteromorphisms in the leaf structures across different plant species.
• In category theory, heteromorphisms between distinct algebraic structures are studied to understand their relationships.
• The heteromorphisms in the fossil record provided evidence of evolutionary divergence.
• Researchers identified heteromorphisms in the wing morphology of butterfly species within the same genus.
