2023 Reinhard Rieger Award winner announced. Click here for details
The journal Zoomorphology publishes original research papers based on morphological investigation of invertebrates and vertebrates, reviews designed as comparative surveys summarizing current knowledge from an evolutionary perspective and method papers presenting new approaches or reviews on methods used in animal morphology. Coverage spans the macroscopic, microscopic and ultrastructural levels, including embryological studies.
The journal places special emphasis on:
Comparison - Studies comparing morphological and anatomical structures in an evolutionary context
Function - Studies relating structure and function
Integration - Studies on the relation between structural-functional systems of animals and their general biology
Evolution - Studies on the evolution of morphological and anatomical structures on the basis of sound phylogenies
Development - Studies on the spatiotemporal formation of morphological and anatomical structures
- Presents original research papers based on morphological investigation of invertebrates and vertebrates
- Offers reviews designed as comparative surveys summarizing current knowledge from an evolutionary perspective
- Publishes method papers presenting new approaches or reviews on methods used in animal morphology
- Emphasizes comparison, function, integration, evolution and development
- Offers the annual Reinhard Rieger Award in Zoomorphology

REINHARD RIEGER-AWARD IN ZOOMORPHOLOGY
At the journal Zoomorphology, morphological investigations of invertebrates and vertebrates, reviews designed as comparative surveys summarizing current knowledge from an evolutionary perspective and method papers presenting new approaches or reviews on methods used in animal morphology stand in the limelight. The integrative studies span macroscopic, microscopic and ultrastructural levels, including embryological studies. In recent years, the journal has also been the home for articles on biomechanics of different animal tissues as well as morphometric analyses of populations, groups or generations.
With all the excellent research published with a focus on comparison, integration, evolution and development, the journal is proud to be one of three partners offering the annual Reinhard Rieger-Award, which is awarded to the most outstanding contribution during the last year.
