Hola! I am delighted to announce that I have been invited to present a seminar in Madrid at the Complutense University on Monday 17th November 2014. I am being hosted by Dr. Diego San Mauro of the Department of Zoology and Physical Anthropology. The seminar is open to staff and students of the University as well as those affiliated with the Madrid's Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (Museum of Natural Sciences) and any other academics of Madrid's various institutes.
Macroevolution in the Underworld: large-scale patterns of morphological evolution in burrowing animals
Burrowing underground is a common life strategy in the animal kingdom, providing protection from changing climates and predators. I shall give an overview of my research into the morphological evolution of burrowing animals – predominantly limbless vertebrates, but with a brief diversion into molluscs. In doing so, I shall demonstrate the cutting-edge techniques I develop and apply to address classical questions of macroevolution.
