The German Natural Science Association for Schleswig-Holstein ( Naturwissenschaftliche Verein für Schleswig-Holstein e. V., NWVSH) offers a diverse program of lectures and field trips for its members and other interested persons. As part of the lecture series...
As a result of our ICVM symposium on the axial skeleton, we organized a mini-series of articles in the Journal of Zoology (Böhmer & Buchholtz 2021). Mehta et al. (2020) analyzed fish during locomotion...
Simulating motion between two vertebrae is particularly challenging because the bones articulate at more than one surface. In our paper, we propose a computational method to estimate the possible intervertebral range of motion in...
EDDi – Evolutionary Dissection of Dinosaurs The vertebral column is a defining feature and a vital body part of vertebrate animals. It is composed of several units – the vertebrae – that are morphologically...
Even T-rex could have suffered a disc protrusion? The intervertebral disc is a fibrocartilaginous joint that connects two successive vertebrae and allows for movement between the bones. It is commonly considered to be a...
Birds vary significantly in the number and shape of vertebrae in the neck. Despite this variation, a similar regionalization along the neck of a diversity of avian species has been observed. Depending on their...
The neck of birds has always been regarded as a classic example of high variability in the number of vertebrae ranging from ten cervical vertebrae in parrots to 26 cervical vertebrae in swans. And...
The upcoming congress of the International Society of Vertebrate Morphology, to be held in Prague (Czech Republic) from 21-25 July 2019, will host the symposium „The axial skeleton: diversity, patterning and function“ organized by...
