I’m a macroevolutionary biologist interested in questions about the processes that generate, maintain, and ultimately eliminate phenotypic and taxonomic diversity. I study both living and fossil species, mostly mammalian carnivores, to gain a complete picture of evolution in space and time. In fact, the name of this site comes from a quote by George Gaylord Simpson, who stressed the importance of considering data from fossil and living species when attempting to understand evolution.
