Short presentation
My current research aims to quantify patterns of trilobite morphological disparity through time (in relation to phylogeny, palaeoenvironment and biogeography), and compare these with recent diversification events, with the aim of revealing drivers of evolutionary radiations deep in the fossil record such as the Cambrian ‘explosion’. My position is funded by a ‘Starting Grant in Natural and Engineering Sciences’ from the Swedish Vetenskapsrådet.
