研究领域

I am an active researcher. My research work provides major and original contributions to knowledge on comparative anatomy, functional morphology and evolution of vertebrates. Much of my work has a focus on marsupials, with appropriate comparisons to convergences with specialised groups of placental mammals from various phylogenetic groups. Thus, my research presents morphology in the context of providing evidence of biological patterns with developmental and evolutionary origins. Previous and ongoing morphological projects have focused on a range of specialised marsupial groups including marsupial moles (Notoryctidae), macropods (Macropodidae), bandicoots (Peramelidae) and carnivorous marsupials (Dasyuridae). I provide a significant contribution to the field of marsupial evolution and palaeoecology, through my detailed familiarity with a wide range of anatomical literature and a demonstrated ability to reinterpret very old literature in relation to the current knowledge of functional, developmental and evolutionary systems. Current projects include investigations of: sexual selection and sperm competition in kangaroos phylogenetic comparisons of limb anatomy in marsupials ecomorphology of fossil marsupials from the Nullabor Cave deposits the evolution and development of the neuromuscular junction in marsupials sexual maturation of the vomeronasal organ in eusocial mole-rats the ecomorphology of foxes in the south west of Western Australia
