Only living organisms?
I note that this page has only "Developmental Biology" as a category. The first sentence of the page at present reads: "An isomorph is an organism that does not change in shape during growth. ". The words organism and growth would imply a living being. However, I've found the word isomorph as a noun for an object having a structure (e.g. the Tower of Hanoi puzzle) whose substance remains constant despite the reconfiguration of its shape. The Encarta dictionary defines isomorph as "substance or organism like others" Emphasis mine. Is this a valid point to be included or otherwise addressed on the page? -- Deborahjay (talk) 14:19, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
The article should be renamed! "Isomorph" is a broad term
This article obviously should be renamed into "isomorph (Dynamic Energy Budget theory)". Even in the context of biology, the usual definition of isomorph is "an organism that exhibits isomorphism", which I can see as hardly overlapping with the definition here. Furthermore, there are isomorphs in many other fields (e.g. chemistry and materials science), to which this article is completely irrelevant. My knowledge of wiki is not sufficient to perform the renaming myself, but whoever created this article (or whoever feels confident) please do the renaming!
