Background
Ph.D., Michigan State University, 1977

Specialties
Invertebrate Paleontology, Paleoecology, Biometrics, Evolution

My research has focused on four different aspects of the paleobiology of bryozoans:

  1. paleogenetics
  2. patterns of colony development under different paleoenvironmental conditions
  3. diversity, origination, and extinction patterns
  4. pattern, tempo, and mode of bryozoan evolution.

Research Program Course Information
Research interests involve understanding the patterns of evolution in fossil organisms using quantitative data analysis techniques. Included are analyses of the paleoecology of ancient ecosystems, of patterns of growth and development in colonial animals that lived under different paleoenvironmental conditions, statistical evaluations of the "genetics" of fossil colonial organisms, fossil biodiversity biogeographic patterns and changes in the tempo and mode of evolutionary changes throughout geologic time. Course Information and Webpages should be accessed through Oncourse
