The Anatomical Record
Edited By: Heather F. Smith, PhD
The Anatomical Record publishes new discoveries in the morphological aspects of evolutionary, molecular, cellular, and systems biology. The journal focuses on major new findings in functional morphology, paleontology, neurology, histology, and the anatomical consequences of gene disruption, activation, or over expression. It also recognizes the importance of descriptive studies in contemporary research, particularly when framed in the context of experimental models or questions.
The Rohlf Medal was established in 2006 by the family and friends of F. James Rohlf to mark his 70th birthday. He has been a longtime Stony Brook University faculty member and is currently Emeritus Distinguished Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution, and Research Professor in the Department of Anthropology.
