Vertebrate Morphology

Vertebrate morphology is the study of the structure and form of animals with backbones, such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. It encompasses the analysis of their bones, muscles, and organs, helping scientists understand how these animals are built and how their physical characteristics have evolved over time. By examining vertebrate morphology, researchers can learn about the relationship between different species, their adaptation to environments, and their developmental processes. This field contributes to knowledge in biology, ecology, and conservation efforts by revealing the diversity and complexity of life on Earth.
