The role of body size in shaping patterns of biodiversity across time and space in Phanerozoic animals
Body size and animal biodiversity are intimately linked, with smaller body sizes contributing most species richness. Read more
Unveiling the spatial structure of functional, morphological and phylogenetic diversity in Phanerozoic animals
The fossil record is our only direct evidence for understanding how biodiversity was assembled through deep time. Recently, there has been a paradigm-shift in how this data is analysed, moving from a notionally "global" reading to a spatially-explicit approach. Read more
Using paleomagnetism and plate tectonics to understand core crystallization and early geodynamics
Paleomagnetic directions are used to construct the past locations of the continents. These tectonic reconstructions are based on the assumption that… Read more
Investigating planetary processes using the pallasite meteorites: How does parent body location in the solar system influence core dynamos, impact events and volcanism?
Pallasites are an enigmatic group of stony-iron meteorites formed of olivine crystals embedded in a matrix of FeNi metal. Pallasites fall into two broad groups. Read more
PhD studentship: Spatial transcriptomics and organismal novelty
Our lab is using multidisciplinary approaches to understand the evolution of animal bodyplans, organismal novelties and major evolutionary transitions. Read more
NERC Panorama DTP - Visual systems as “magic traits” and their role in the evolution of biodiversity
Magic traits are phenotypic traits that have a particular function according to the environment, while also acting as a cue for reproductive isolation via assortative mating. Read more
Freshwater marl lakes: the unsung hero of Blue Carbon
We are looking for a highly motivated individual to carry out interdisciplinary PhD research that will integrate palaeoecological, ecological and geochemical techniques. Read more
Climate Extremes in a Warmer World: What does the Pliocene tell us?
The issue. Our ability to limit the rise in global temperature in line with the Paris Agreement is uncertain due to an inadequate understanding of the long-term sensitivity of the Earth and Climate System to CO2. Read more
