Biography
Marc's research generally encompasses the macroevolution of amphibians and reptiles but focuses on specific topics such as feeding, function, biogeography, morphological variation, and systematics. This work has involved a number of techniques (e.g., geometric morphometrics, Multi-body Dynamics Analysis, Finite Element Analysis, cladistics) and a range of taxonomic groups (e.g., frogs, salamanders, lizards, tuatara, turtles). Research Interests: The relationship between skull form and function in reptiles (particularly with respect to agamid lizards or Sphenodon and its fossil relatives). The radiation and biogeographic history of small vertebrates such as frogs and lizards (particularly with respect to southern continents). Ontogenetic and geographic variation in phenotype (performance and morphological traits).
