This initiated the new field of comparative morphology which, largely through the combined work of Frederick Bower, Eduard Strasburger and others, established that an " alternation of generations " occurs throughout the plant kingdom.

He received training in botany from professor plant morphology, e . g . " Beitr�ge zur vergleichenden Morphologie der Pflanzen " ( Contribution to a comparative morphology of plants ), published in six volumes 1854-1878.

Bujor then laid the foundation for Iai's animal morphology collections; conducted research in descriptive and comparative morphology, as well as in hydrobiology and experimental zoology; and also organized the department's laboratory and museum . conducting research into living organisms found in salt lakes.

However, Mallon et al . ( 2015 ), in their description of a new " S . buchholtzae " specimen from the Frenchman Formation of Saskatchewan, Canada, noted that " S . edmontonense " was distinct from " buchholtzae " based on comparative morphology and morphometrics.

He writes, " comparative morphology points not only to the essentially similar plan of organization of the bodies of all vertebrates, . . . but also to the occurrence in them of certain organs, or parts of organs, now known as'vestigial .' By such organs are meant those which were formerly of greater physiological significance than at present .

The journal is peer-reviewed Bi-monthly is a multidisciplinary forum devoted to studies on the comparative morphology, molecular biology, paleobiology, genetics, developmental and reproductive biology, biogeography, systematics, ethology and ecology, and population dynamics of mammals and the ways that these diverse data can be analyzed for the reconstruction of mammalian evolution . According to the " Journal Citation Reports ", the journal has a 2014 impact factor of 2.357.
