| − | ... | + | Brasier (1980) produced a morphospace model using four parameters, which correspond to Berger’s parameters, expanded by the degree of growth extension along the coiling axis and the degree of chamber compression. The latter parameter introduces allometry into the system and mimics the changing proportions of chambers during ontogeny of real foraminifera. Another important aspect of this model is that chambers are not rotated but translated. Although this approach was not developed further, it did stimulate the modeling of foraminifera (Brasier 1980; McGhee 1999; cited after Tyszka & Topa, 2005). |
