a and b Diagram - Haeckelā€™s overview of zoology, where he introduced his famous concepts of ontogeny, phylogeny and ecology. The scheme incorporates both the ā€˜staticā€™, and ā€˜dynamicā€™ aspects of animal life, where ā€˜staticā€™ is used to describe structures and forms (morphology), and ā€˜dynamicā€™ deals with a state of change. Translated by Levit and Hossfeld [40] and reproduced by the authors with slight changes from the original scheme in: Haeckel 1866, vol. 1, p. 238
