| Introduction | My interests lie broadly in the areas of vertebrate morphology, evolution & computational biomechanics, shape analysis and virtual reconstruction. More specific interests include: Form-function relationships, feeding ecology and systematics in living and fossil taxa; including humans and other hominids, marsupial and placental carnivores (e.g., thylacinids, dasyurids, felids, canids, ursids, hyaenids), birds, sharks, crocodiles, varanids and other reptiles. The use of Finite Element Analysis to predict feeding behaviour. The application of FEA to biomedical questions. Extinction of the Australian megafauna. Marsupial carnivore phylogeny and biogeography. |
