Functional Zoomorphology is the study of the relationship between the structure of organisms (or systems within organisms) and their function.

Our work is broadly aimed at understanding how the morphology of animal bodies and their neural and sensory structures affect how animals interact with their environment as well as exploring how changes in the environment lead to variation in these structures.
