Dr Christine Böhmer - Palaeobiologist
As a result of the Symposium on the vertebral column „Development, genetics, biomechanics, and evolution of the spine in vertebrates“ co-organised by Dr. Maxime Taverne (Hôpital Necker, Paris), Dr. Roman Hossein Khonsair (Hôpital Necker,...
Teeth are in direct contact with the animal’s food. The interaction leaves marks on the enamel and these wear patterns can be assessed quantitatively via dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA). In addition to food...
The proverbial elephant memory is no coincidence, as the recent study (Kränzlin et al. 2024 Zoobiology) by the Böhmer Research Group shows. As part of his Bachelor’s thesis under the supervision of Prof. Dr....
The neck of Tanystropheus – an extinct reptile from the Triassic – is more than twice as long as the animal’s body. Not only is the neck length unusual, but also the small number...
Birds and crocodylians are the only living members of Archosauria and therefore represent a crucial group to be studied in order to further our understanding of dinosaurs. The book edited by Woodward and Farlow (2023) Ruling...
Classically, diversification of fish is thought to involve an onshore-offshore gradient; i.e., species originate on nearshore environments and later expand offshore in their evolutionary history. Sharks are a group of cartilaginous fish (Chondrichthyes) with...
Woodpeckers are well known for their pecking behavior. They hit with their beak on trees for feeding, nesting and also to mark their territory. Enormous forces act on the bird’s body during impact. This...
In collaboration with veterinarians from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, from a practice for small pets as well as from the laboratory for veterinary diagnostics Laboklin, we investigated the changes in hormonal concentration in relation to the reproductive...
The results of a previous study (Böhmer et al. 2018 The Anatomical Record) revealed that certain muscles in the forelimb of the pine marten have a greater force-generating capacity than that of the stone...
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...
