    The Evolutionary Morphology Research Group offers a wide range of research topics and training on extinct and extant fishes, but also tetrapods. PhD students are encouraged to enquire informally. We are happy to help applying for research funding.

    General

    MSc/BSC projects:Various student projects focusing on the taxonomy, phylogenetic relationships, diversity and diversification patterns, and trait evolution of extinct and extant cartilaginous and bony fishes, but also tetrapods are available. Please contact J. Kriwet for inquiries (click here).
