"The theoretical morphospace of foraminifera reveals regions of the morphospace that include similar forms. These specific fields in the morphospace, called [[morphophase|'''morphophases''']], are separated from each other by either sharp or gradual [[morphophase transition|'''morphophase transitions''']], which involve sharp or gradual changes in morphology controlled by changes of the model parameters. Optimised emplacement of foraminiferal apertures is responsible for these morphophase transitions."
