Our Focus

We are a theoretical evolutionary morphology lab interested in the evolution of multivariate phenotypes. Our work specializes in biostatistical methods, where we develop analytical tools for quantifying multivariate phenotypes, permutation-based statistical approaches for evaluating high-dimensional data, and phylogenetic comparative methods for deciphering macroevolutionary trends across the tree of life.

We are also dedicated to advancing the research of others. To this end we develop and maintain software packages that enhance the research capacity of the scientific community.
