Joshua Gauweiler
Meine Interessen liegen v.a. im Bereich Paläobiologie, in den Bereichen Evolution, Morphologie und Ökologie, insbesondere in Bezug auf Vertreter der Gruppe Ornithodira (inkl. Flugsaurier und Dinosaurier). Meine Arbeit beinhaltet hochauflösende Bildgebung von Fossilien und quantitative Formanalyse mittels elliptischer Fourier-Analyse um die Funktionsmorphologie bestimmter Tiere besser verstehen zu können. Die ontogenetische Entwicklung ausgestorbener Tiere und der Vergleich von Unterschieden in dieser Entwicklung bei verschiedenen Arten ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil meiner Forschung, wodurch die Evolution größerer phylogenetischer Gruppen besser verstanden werden kann.
Aktuell arbeite ich in Rahmen meines Stipendiums der Landesgraduiertenförderung Mecklenburg-Vorpommern an meiner Doktorarbeit. Momentan untersuche ich die trophischen Interaktionen zwischen Vertretern der Gruppe Ornithodira und Arthropoden im Laufe der Zeit. Hiermit versuche ich mehr Licht auf die Strategie der Insektivorie werfen, da ich mich dafür interessiere, inwiefern diese Nahrung mit der Größe, der Form und dem Alter von Räuber und Beute zusammenhängt.
