New paper in Paleobiology! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Data sciences postdoc fellowship in EEB @ U.Toronto app deadline Jan 23 2026. Opportunity for independent research, encourages collab across labs/disciplines. Lots of great folks to interact with, Come join us! datasciences.utoronto.ca/postdoctoral...

Our athyridide brachiopod paper has finally come out in Journal of Paleontology as FirstView! doi.org/10.1017/jpa..... Please let us know what you think!

I am recruiting a PhD student this application cycle to explore questions on the evolution of morphological variation and phylogenetics. I'm especially seeking folks interested in fossil marine inverts. Please reach out to me if interested! Portal opens Nov. 1 eeb.utoronto.ca/education/gr...

If you know anyone interested in starting a Master's project working on ammonoid phylogenetics (or the phylogenetics of a mollusc group spanning the OAE2 event in the Late Cretaceous), then ask them to get in touch with me. The situation is a little tricky, as it would be funded by the remainder…

Excited to share a new paper! "Sorting of ancestral polymorphism and its impact on morphological phylogenetics and macroevolution". Part of some work I've been doing on modelling the evolution of polymorphic traits in fossil echinoderms. academic.oup.com/evolut/advan...

I'm hoping to take 1 MSc & 1 PhD student next year in the areas of Phylogenetic, Computational, and/or Evolutionary Paleobiology. Please reach out if you are interested in joining the @oupaleobiology.bsky.social, especially if interested in working on fossil echinoderms. Link for more info below. 🧪

New updated preprint! Many thanks to reviewers for their suggestions and helpful advice for improving our manuscript. Check it out if you're interested in fossils, phylogenies, and modeling morphologic evolution! 🧪

New paper! 🧪 Phylogeny and macroevolution of a “dead clade walking”: a systematic revision of the Paragaricocrinidae (Crinoidea)

Excited to announce a paper led by PhD student Christina Harvey on the evolution of paralog synfunctionalization in the calsequestrin gene family. Vertebrate muscle physiology (particularly birds) meets gene family evolution and phylum-scale RNA-seq journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

New paper in Systematic Biology with cool dude @jgsaulsbury.bsky.social academic.oup.com/sysbio/advan...

New📜in PNAS! Age-dependent extinction and the neutral theory of biodiversity (w/ great collaborators @tomopfuku.bsky.social , Connor J. Wilson, Trond Reitan, & Lee Hsiang Liow) www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
