What is another word for homostylic?
Pronunciation: [hˌə͡ʊmə͡ʊstˈɪlɪk] (IPA) 
Homostylic, also known as isostylic, refers to a condition where all vertebrae in the spine have the same structure and size. Similar terms that can be used to describe this condition include isovertic, isocercal, and isoperistaltic. All of these terms refer to biological structures that exhibit equal or similar shapes, sizes, and symmetry. In the context of evolution and taxonomy, homoplasy is a term that refers to the independent evolution of similar traits in different species. Homoplasy can result in convergent evolution, where different lineages evolve similar structures, including the homostylic condition observed in vertebrates such as lampreys.
