Our laboratory focuses on relationship between ecology and morphology of vertebrates. We also study about palaeoecology of extinct animals applying eco-morphological proxies obtained from extant animals. In our laboratory, both classic and cutting-edge analytical methods are applied for evaluation of morphology, which include 3D modelling of bones using μ-CT scanning and quantification of microscopic dental wear by a confocal profilometer.
