Special!

Prof. Dr Marie Herberstein, Head of the Centre for Taxonomy and Morphology

On this evening, Marie Herberstein will provide insights into her day-to-day work and take you into the world of spiders: What can their morphology tell us?
Most people probably recognise the habitus of a spider immediately, even from a distance. However, on closer inspection, we can recognise very specific morphological features that indicate the particular ecology of individual species. In some groups of spiders, the specialisation is so extreme that we almost no longer recognise them as spiders.
