Evolutionarymorphology andmorphometrics

How does biological form evolve?
At the EMORPH2 Lab, led by Fabio A. Machado, we investigate how developmental rules and natural selection shape animal diversity. We bring together anatomy, genetics, development, and evolutionary theory to understand how complex structures change over time, with a particular focus on mammals.
