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...
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...
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...
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...
The head-neck system of birds is a highly complex structure that performs a variety of demanding and competing tasks. We here analyzed the neck anatomy of three closely-related vultures that distinctly differ in feeding...
The neck is a biomechanical innovation that contributed to the diversification of vertebrates. A better understanding of the functional morphology of the neck can help to develop design principles for technical applications. The range...
