I am a Lecturer in Biology at the Open University. I am primarily interested in macro-evolutionary biology, particularly involving large-scale trends and patterns. I am also interested in looking at the effects of incorporating extinct and extant diversity into studies of evolutionary biology and ecology.
Current research areas:
Morphological change across the ages
Identifying ecological drivers / selective pressures of change
Natural selection: from genotypes to phenotypes!
Variation in life history

An analysis of dozens of primate species shows that humans’ thumbs and brains evolved in tandem, allowing the development of greater sophistication ...
Elephants, giraffes, pythons and other large species have higher cancer rates than smaller ones like mice, bats, and frogs, a new study has shown, overturning a 45-year-old belief about cancer in the animal kingdom.
Birds are the only group of vertebrate animals to have repeatedly evolved smaller testes over time according to a new study.
Listen now to a recording of my interview on 3AW Breakfast with Ross and Russel in Melbourne where we talk about my recent thumbs research!
