Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Evolutionary Morphology Research Morphology Evolution Genetics Evolutionary genetics, morphology, and developmental biology of the limbs in vertebrates The focus of the project lies on the genetic basis of limb development in vertebrates. Of particular interest are morphological pecularities which are releated to ecological specialisation.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Diversity Dynamics Research Biodiversity Fossils Climate Change Useful green tiny ones Diatoms are widespread today and are an important part of the ecosphere. They began to spread 60 million years ago.
Evolutionary Morphology Research Database Mammals Extinction of Species Biodiversity Evolution Evolution of diversity in large herbivores Diversity patterns are the result of complex deep-time interactions between bio-abiotic factors. Researchers from the MfN investigate are investigate which factors affected to large herbivorous herbivores during the Cenozoic.
Evolutionary Morphology Research Mammals Collection Evolution Genetics African antelopes in the ice age Climatic changes during the ice age influenced the distribution of antelope species throughout Africa. In the case of the South African bluebuck, a fatal factor came into play at a later stage.
SP1 Dynamics of Nature Evolutionary Morphology Research Morphology Evolution Genetics Laboratories Brachiopods can see the light Already in the 19th century, zoologists noticed up to 16 pigment spots in the front part of certain brachiopod larvae. Since these larvae react to light their pigment spots were assumed to represent eye-like photoreceptors.
