Bio
Research Interests
I am a fish biologist and functional morphologist interested in processes and mechanisms of diversification at many levels. I have a particular fondness for coral reef fish, function and diversity of the fish skull, and I like to take a strongly phylogenetic approach to studying the history of morphological and functional diversification, especially when this can be linked to ecological consequences. My lab group includes a diverse array of talented biologists with specific interests in evolutionary ecology, phylogenetics, biomechanics, and anatomy.
