Laurel Collins |
Associate Professor
of Biology
|
|
I investigate environmental changes of the past and the
extent to which they have affected evolution, including changes in
evolutionary rates, communities, and organismal morphology. The
originations and extinctions of fossil taxa and their
ecology/paleoecology are used to identify evolutionary,
paleoceanographic, paleoclimatic and tectonic trends through time.
