Laura AB Wilson

PeerJ Editor, Author & Reviewer

Summary

Associate Professor Laura Wilson is an ARC Future Fellow at the Australian National University. Her research interests are centred on how the process of development has shaped morphological evolution on different time scales in mammals. Laura works in the fields of evolutionary biology and biological anthropology, united through the application of statistical shape analysis and 3D modelling of hard and soft tissues to address questions that relate to adaptation, ecology and function
