Our latest article was published in September 2009 in Frontiers in Zoology. We combined microtomography, SEM and DIC microscopy to characterize bud development. Interestingly, the buds in T. wilhelma display a distinct pattern of morphological stages, during whichall relevant body structures are sequentially developed.

In collaboration with the Thuringian University and State Library book scanning service in Jena, one of our students scanned all three volumes of Haeckels monograph on calcisponges. It is likely that Ernst Haeckel himself donated this particular three volumes to our library. All volumes are now available through the Digital Library Thuringia (dbt - Digitale Bibliothek Thüringen).
