About me

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Reading funded by the Leverhulme Trust. My interests are primarily involved in macro-evolutionary biology, particularly involving large-scale evolutionary 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:

Macroevolutionary patterns and processes - morphological change across the ages
Linking rapid rates of morphological evolutionary change to underlying ecological drivers / selective pressures.
- Brain size in mammals
- Ear canal dimensions and locomotion in primates
Natural selection: from genotypes to phenotypes!

Feel free to give me an e-mail if you are interested in collaboration.

Size doesn’t matter if you look good on dance floorWho needs massive testicles when you have a splendid outfit and are really good at dancing? That seems to be the evolutionary calculation made by the world’s birds, after a study has shown that...
