Comparative Anatomy and the Evolution of FishesĪnatomists in the 19th century, such as Ernst Haeckel and Karl Ernst von Baer discovered that the ontogeny of organisms provides information from their evolutionary history (recapitulation). My interest and expertise in the identification of larval fishes led to invitations to several larval fish and taxonomic workshops. Besides the beauty and the vast diversity of larval fishes that caught my eye, they also play a crucial role in comparative morphology, phylogenetic systematics, conservation and community structures in ecosystems. I enjoyed the painstaking attention to detail involved in this type of work, and was greatly interested in how the identifying characteristics often differ between larval and adult fishes of the same species. While at the Natural History Museum in London, I developed a strong interest in the early life history of larval fishes.
