Summary

I am interested in interrogating macroevolutionary trends in the vertebrate fossil record associated with the development of specialised ecologies, particularly herbivory. My work to-date has focussed on Meszoic tetrapods, combining morphometric, biomechanical, biogeographical and phylogenetic comparative methods in order to quantify morphological and biomechanical variation and investigate the linkages between the develop of novel functional complexes and patterns in evolutionary rate, taxic diversity and geographical range.
