Dear Emma, I don't know if there is too much difference except for correct usage.
Phylogeny is a noun taken to mean the development history of phyla or phylogenesis. Phylogenetics uses the suffix -ic on the end which makes the noun phylogeny into an adjective. I would tend to use phylogeny as the developmental history of the phyla in question while phylogenetics should indicate the describing or studying the phylogeny. I imagine morphometry and morphometricis might be similar in distinction. Apart from that, I think it's an answer buried in the history of these terms. Cheers.
