Dr.Christian Foth

Scientist / (Senior) Scientist

• Dynamics of Nature

• Evolutionary Morphology

I am a research group leader within the framework of the Heisenberg Programme of the German Research Foundation (DFG). My work focuses on the evolution of tetrapods, with a special emphasis on dinosaurs and the origin of birds. I am particularly interested in the interplay between ontogeny (individual development) and phylogeny (evolutionary development).

Current research projects

• Macroevolutionary patterns in theropod dinosaurs
• Postnatal ontogenic patterns in Avialae (Dinosauria, Theropoda)
