| Research Description: |
We are applying a molecular geo- and palaeobiological approach – including molecular biology, genomics, and molecular phylogenetic techniques in reconciliation with the fossil record – in a research programme that focusses on temporal and spatial aspects of the evolution, diversification and biomineralization of geobiologically important marine invertebrate taxa like sponges, echinoderms, and molluscs, from the individual/genome level to ecosystems. |
