Genital bone in male harbour seals
Most but not all male eutherian mammals have an os penis or baculum. It has evolved and was lost multiple times independently. The genital bone displays a great diversity in morphology which has been...

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...
When you hear the word hare, the image of a typical long-eared, jumping, small, furry animal comes to mind. However, the taxon Lagomorpha conceals a much greater diversity of animals. In addition to the...
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...
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...
The giraffe’s iconic long neck puzzled us for centuries! Why is it so special? Almost all mammals have seven vertebrae in the neck, irrespective of the length of their neck. Mouse, dog, human, giraffe...
I couldn’t be more excited! Our anatomy atlas is published! More than 400 photographs and illustrations that visualize the diversity in forelimb and hind limb muscle anatomy of 30 mammalian species. We carefully dissected...
Same lab, new project! I’m excited to announce that I started my next postdoc project on the grasping biomechanics in primates. I look forward to work with Dr. Emmanuelle Pouydebat – an internationally renowned...
