We study morphogenesis of several cranial (head) structures of vertebrates like jaws, teeth, pharyngeal gill cartilages, or attachment organs (cement glands). By comparing development of different animas (e.g., amphibians, bichirs, acipensers or lampreys) we are looking for dissimilarities in developmental processes in order to discover key developmental changes responsible for production of morphological variation, novelties and evolutionary change.
