Skull evolution and the terrestrialization and radiation of tetrapods Jan 1, 2018 - Dec 31, 2020
Our proposal brings together world class expertise and cutting-edge methods to answer a key question in the history of life:how did vertebrates conquer the land? We address this question by testing four key hypotheses derived from long-standing asser... Read More about Skull evolution and the terrestrialization and radiation of tetrapods.

Understanding the functional evolution of the mammalian middle ear and jaw joint across the cynodont-mammaliaform transition Oct 1, 2013 - Sep 30, 2016
The overall aims of the project are to characterise and understand the functional evolution of the jaw joint and middle ear across the cynodont to mammal transition, with a view to determine the influence of jaw mechanics and function on the evolutio...

The role of soft tissues in cranial biomechanics - an investigation using advanced computer modellin Jul 1, 2015 - Dec 31, 2018
Unlike the mammalian skull, where the relatively large brain is enclosed in a shell-like bony capsule, the skulls of reptiles such as lizards, snakes, and dinosaurs form an open framework of bars and openings wrapped and supported by a large quantity...
