LabEx BCDiv project
Morphological convergence and functional inferences: an integrative study of the masticatory apparatus in rodents and extinct notoungulates
The partner UMRs of the LabEx leading this project are the CR2P (UMR7207, 8 rue Buffon, 75005 Paris), where my office is located, the MECADEV lab, and the ISYEB (UMR7205).
Collaborations: G. Billet (UMR7207), A. Herrel (this UMR), and R. Cornette (UMR7205).
Main research interests
-
Evolutionary biology of extant and extinct mammals, especially rodents
-
Study of the masticatory apparatus (dentition, skull, muscles)
-
Comparative anatomy, phylogeny, ecology, morpho-function and development
