Welcome to the Lab

In our lab, we study anatomical 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 often in an effort to deduce the abilities (e.g., diets) of extinct species from their 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.
