Bio/Research
Current research in my lab is focused on evolutionary innovations as viewed from the standpoint of an interplay between developmental constraints and opportunities. Gastropod molluscs provide a rich source of subject material in which to address questions about the evolutionary diversification of body plan. My students and I study these questions by examining comparative patterns of development; an approach that acknowledges the pivotal role of development in the process of evolutionary change in morphology. This research program has grown out of my broad interests in the functional morphology, neurobiology, and development of marine invertebrates.
