 Hi, All,

This coming Monday, 8 November, we will be joined by Hillary Maddin. The title of her talk is:

“Novelty and constraints in the tetrapod skull: Insights from amphibians”

Hillary is an Associate Professor at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.  She is doing exciting research that bridges and combines evolution, development, and paleontology.   Here is her own description of her program:

“My research aims to understand the origin and maintenance of organismal diversity over large time scales. In particular, I am interested in the evolution of cranial morphology and how patterns of relatedness, development and function underlie the origin of morphological diversity observed among animals living today. I take a broadly comparative approach, applying integrative techniques, by combining the fields of paleontology, developmental biology, experimental genetics, and functional morphology to characterize instances of morphological diversification in major lineages of tetrapods. I primarily employ extinct and extant amphibians to work towards these goals.

I run an annual field program exploring the Carboniferous rocks of Nova Scotia. I am additionally involved in an international field team exploring the Permo-Triassic rocks of Siberia.”

 

 Join us at 6:30pm on Zoom (talk starts at 6:40) to hear how she does it all!
