hypermorph

[hi´per-morf]

in genetics, a hypermorphic mutant gene, i.e., one exaggerating or increasing normal activity. adj., adj hypermor´phic.

hy·per·morph

(hī'pĕr-mōrf),

1. Person whose sitting height is low in proportion to standing height, owing to excessive length of limb. Compare: hypomorph, ectomorph.

2. A mutant gene that causes an increase in the activity controlled by the gene. Compare: hypomorph.

[hyper- + G. morphē, form]

The premise of the book, which is laid out in the first chapter, is that deer species exist along several continua: from saltorial to cursorial locomotion, from concentrate feeders to grazers, from territorial defense to "selfish" herds, and from ancestral to hypermorph to paedomorph body types.
