05/15/2023: Congratulations to newly minted PhDs Dr. Hannah Darcy and Dr. Brad Scott. We are incredibly proud of you both!

04/20/2023: Belated congratulations to new Drs. Hannah Darcy and Brad Scott, who both passed their thesis defenses in late March. We are unbelievably proud of both of them. Stay tuned for updates about the next chapters in their lives.

10/19/2022: New paper in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. Post-doc Dr. Bingyang Zhang has constructed a mathematical framework for the scaling of energetics in biological puncture systems that should be of broad utility.

09/16/2022: New paper in Paleobiology by lab member Brad Scott on potential competition between early gnathostomes and agnathans.

07/27/2022: New paper in Evolution on covariation and evolutionary rates across multiple evolutions of the trap-jaw system of Strumigenys. Open access!

06/29/2022: Dr. Anderson published a new paper with Dr. Sandy Kawano at George Washington University on how rates of loading alters structural traits.

06/29/2022: Dr. Anderson is a coauthor on a new paper in ICB out online. The paper explores the effects of muscle fatigue on LaMSA systems in trap-jaw ants.
