Research Interests

As a macroevolutionary biologist, I am interested in large-scale morphological evolution and in the multiple processes that underlie its dynamics. My research activities, at the intersection of evolutionary paleobiology and evolutionary developmental biology, aim at assessing and better characterizing the roles of development, selection and chance in macroevolution.

Keywords : morphological and developmental disparity, phenotypic integration, evolutionary constraints, phenotype space and evolutionary accessibility, morphometrics and morphospaces.
