Research Interests
My
research concentrates on marine community paleoecology and its
relationship
to environmental change, evolution, and mass extinctions.
Current
research interests include the community response to global
climate change in the aftermath of the late Paleozoic ice age
(Early-Middle Permian) and ecological changes during the
end-Guadalupian and end-Permian extinctions. I am also
interested
in long-term trends in relative abundance in the fossil record and the
occurrence and causes of "decoupling" between abundance and diversity
at a variety of taxonomic and temporal scales. Click here
