Research

My research focuses on the application of quantitative genetics and functional anatomy to model & understand the evolution of traits in mammals, especially primates and Australian marsupials. My work focuses on morphological variation, including: modeling the evolution of trait complexes; assessing variation in body size, form, & proportions; applying functional anatomy to skeletal variation; measuring asymmetry in the skeleton; & using morphological integration to understand evolutionary potential. I examine these properties in relation to environmental factors, namely climate, biomechanics, and subsistence, within the context of quantitative evolutionary models of population structure & natural selection.
