Welcome to the Group of Evolutionary Functional Morphology
The Group of Evolutionary Functional Morphology at the University of Bern is based at the Museum of Natural History and is dedicated to the study of form and function across evolutionary time scales.
Our research focuses on understanding the adaptive significance
of morphological and functional traits and their implications for organismal evolution.
We aim to unravel the complexity of evolutionary processes
shaping diverse morphologies in the living world.
Our Research Focus
Our research delves into the intricate relationship between form and function
in biological organisms in an evolutionary context.
Through multidisciplinary approaches, we investigate the mechanisms underlying evolutionary changes in form and function.
Our team is working on different model organisms and is committed to exploring
the evolutionary pathways that have shaped the remarkable diversity of life on Earth.
