My research is centred on the exploitation of Quaternary mammal fossils to enhance
our understanding of processes of evolution and extinction at the species level.
Quaternary mammals are exceptionally well-suited to this endeavour because of their
abundance in time and space, the accurate dating methods available, and the detailed
knowledge of dramatic environmental changes to which the fauna responded. Further,
because Quaternary ice ages shaped the modern biota, and because many Quaternary
species have close living relatives, the study of Quaternary faunas and floras is of direct
relevance to modern systematics, biogeography and conservation biology. Finally,
Quaternary fossils in some circumstances preserve traces of biological molecules such
as DNA that can be extracted and sequenced, yielding novel information about their
biology and evolution.
