Sean’s research spans a diverse range of topics in evolutionary biology, conservation science, biogeography, genomics, and forestry. His four primary areas of focus are...
I am interested in human evolution in general, and specifically in the events surrounding the origin and diversification of early hominins in the Mio-Pliocene and how...
I am a theoretical ecologist studying mostly ecological networks. I am interested in the dynamics of large ecological communities, models for network structure, and the...
Research: Paleobiology of non-mammalian synapsids (particularly anomodont therapsids), the End-Permian mass extinction, evolutionary morphology of the turtle shell,...
Our lab studies the evolution of birds at the level of species and populations using comparative genetic and morphologic approaches based on extended museum specimens...
Many of the traits that we care about, as evolutionary biologists, human geneticists, or simply as human beings, are genetically complex. This means that genetic...
My research in my lab focuses on the biology of Mollusca, especially gastropods (snails) and bivalves (clams). I am interested in their species-level diversity, how it...
My research focuses on early vertebrate diversity and evolution, the reconstruction of evolutionary pattern and process, and uses of fossils and systematic methods in...
Our group studies microbial population diversity, ecology, and evolution. We focus primarily on freshwater and marine systems, and we use a combination of laboratory...
I am a paleobiologist interested in documenting and interpreting large-scale patterns in the history of life. Current research focuses on biogeography, evolutionary...
