Our lab studies the diversity and evolution of animal function.  We are interested in questions about:
+
  
−
-  How animals (and their parts) work
 
−
 
−
-  How the ways that animals work affect their ability to survive
 
−
 
−
-  How animal function varies to meet the demands of different environments
 
−
 
−
-  How animal function has diversified and changed through evolution
 
−
 
−
To answer these questions, most of our research examines vertebrate muscle and bone function during locomotion, with a major focus on reptiles (especially turtles and alligators), amphibians, and fish.  Other work includes studies of deer antler, fish and reptile feeding, and insect biomechanics.
 
−
 
−
We use a wide range of techniques in these studies, drawing on experimental biomechanics (high-speed video, strain, EMG, mechanical testing), morphometrics (allometry, mechanical models of recent and fossil specimens), phylogenetic comparative methods, and field sampling.
