Mammals are a prominent vertebrate group in the modern biota with a great range of evolutionary adaptations. Their long history is endowed with a rich fossil record that extends into the deep times of the Mesozoic. This can provide a useful case study on the diversification of major organismal groups, on the patterns and processes of macroevolution, and on the geological history of vertebrate faunas.
In our paleobiological studies on early mammal fossils, my collaborating team is seeking to understand the origins of key mammalian adaptations and development patterns, phylogenetic relationship of the major lineages of Mesozoic mammals, as well as their ecological diversification.
