Cytology and Evolutionary Biology

Welcome to the website of the Department for Cytology and Evolutionary Biology! Here, you find information about current and former members, research activities, applied methods & techniques, the publication record as well as current teaching activities of our department.

We analyze the evolution of the nervous system and of other organ systems in Bilateria with a strong focus on Arthropoda. Specifically, we are interested in the brain architecture and structure of sensory organs in representatives of Crustacea, Myriapoda und Chelicerata. Another focus is the morphology of fossil arthropods including insects in amber. Our methodological spectrum comprizes immunohistochemistry, classical histology, fluorescence microscopy, confocal laser-scan microscopy, x-ray microscopy, electron microscopy and 3D reconstruction.
