Hartstone-Rose Research Lab
Comparative Anatomy and Functional Morphology
Welcome to the Lab
Welcome to the Lab
We study anatomotical adaptation predominantly to dietary and locomotive specialization in mammals, especially primates and carnivores.
We analyze live animal behavior, muscle fiber architecture, and the shape of bones and teeth.
We hope to use these analyses to deduce the abilities (e.g., diets) of extinct species from the fossil remains
In addition to our anatomical research, we receive funding for projects focused on the effects of participation in STEM activities on students' interest in STEM professions, particularly students from historically marginalized backgrounds
