#Insect legs are diverse and it is difficult to compare their workspaces across species. Benedikt Josten presented an approach to analyse their forward #kinematics and workspaces in a unified way at the #morphology sessions of #dzg2025

Copulatory structures of #diplopoda are amazingly complex and Birk Rillich presented their functional #morphology in the species Acanthopetalum carinatum at #dzg2025

Scutigera #centipedes are crazy runners. @iuli-b.bsky.social presented at #dzg2025 how the walking behavior and its underlying #morphology changes throughout postembryonic development

Paul Höller contributed a talk on stem cells in #pycnogonids (sea spiders) at #dzg2025

Our second invited #morphology speaker @wolffspider.bsky.social from @unigreifswald.bsky.social presented on the amazing biomechanics of #spider extended phenotypes and their ecolution

Our first invited speaker for the #morphology section at #dzg2025 is Nicole Grunstra from Vienna providing us with amazing morphological insights into mammalian and particularly human evolution

Francesco Nienhaus presented #biomechanics and #morphology of #Phasmatodea on eggs and antennae related to intriguing aerial egg transfer of Stick and Leaf Insects at #dzg2025

Viktor Deines discussed #morphology adaptations of blood-sucking #Hippoboscidae at #dzg2025

Stefan Graf has shown #form-function-relationships in the modified eyes of #apoidea at #dzg2025 in the #morohology session

Jörn von Döhren finished the first #morphology session at #dzg2025 with evolution of spiralian eyes

Our first session at #dzg2025 starts in Berlin with a talk by Margarita Yavorskaya on extreme head #morphology transformations in #Pselaphinae

Join the best invertebrate event of 2025! The official website for the 6th International Congress on Invertebrate Morphology (ICIM6) is now live! Check it out: icim6.com Thank you Felipe and colleagues for hosting this!

#Morpho25 had soo many great talks. The one that received the award for the best oral presentation is the one from Una Steinleitner for her presentation about the #morphology of the seminal receptacle in Madagascan freshwater #crabs

@iuli-b.bsky.social received the best poster award at #Morpho25 for her poster "Heads or tails? Sensory equipment on the antennae and the ultimate legs of #Scutigera coleoptrata"

It a pleasure to have @maxille.bsky.social at #Morpho25 having his talk on analyses of Riedl's burden in the actinopterygian cranium. He is the awardee of our Keynote Contest at the #Morphology Meeting in Kiel. Well done!

Julian Thomas talked about #phamids and the mechanical properties of the functionally different attachment pads on the same tarsus at #Morpho25

#teamwork at #Morpho25 by @lib-morpholab.bsky.social: Benjamin Wipfler & Mariam Gabelaia teamed up and showed insights into the avian head. Very nice presentation concept!

Today's second keynote by David Labonte at #Morpho25 shows how broad #Morphology is as a discipline and provides amazing insights into the insect head and the motor inside.

#Morpho25 starts today with the keynote talk by Vanessa Schendel on #venom modulation in #centipedes

It is amazing to see so many #Morphologists attending #Morpho25 in Kiel. The renaissance of #Morphology is continuing

Guess what animal group Paul Kalke is presenting on at #Morpho25

The first session of contributed talks at #Morpho25 starts with Conrad Helm and amphinomid fireworm larvae

The first keynote talk at #Morpho25 by Stanislav N. Gorb introduces the wide spectrum of morphological features a #dragonfly uses and that can be informative for #biomimetics

The #Morphology Meeting 2025 in Kiel is starting and the Zoological Museum ist filling for #Morpho25

And we are proud to announce this year's Keynote Contest winner of many to come. @maxille.bsky.social will present his research in a format that brings early carreer scientist into the spotlight of the #Morphology Meeting of the Morphology section of the German Zoological Society

I am proud to announce that I have won the Invited Speaker Contest and will give a Keynote talk about my research at the Morphology Meeting in Kiel! I can't wait to talk about fish, Anatomical Networks, and Evo-Devo and I am looking forward to hearing all the other talks! @morphonews.bsky.social

One week to go: we look forward to a great #Morphology Meeting in Kiel with a lot of different topics across various mmirphological disciplines www.zoologisches-museum.uni-kiel.de/de/tagung/cr...

Abstract deadline for the Morphology Meeting 2025 in Kiel is tomorrow - don't miss it. www.zoologisches-museum.uni-kiel.de/de/tagung

MorphoNews is now on BlueSky 😋 Don't miss our Morphology Online Night next Tuesday with three fantastic talks. More infos at www.dzg-ev.de/en/section-g...
