Dr Greg Edgecombe

Merit Researcher

Department: Earth Sciences
Division: ES Invertebrates and Plants Palaeobiology
Specialisms: Arthropod phylogeny, Chilopoda (centipedes), Palaeozoic arthropods

Summary

Research focuses on the evolutionary history of arthropods, animal diversification during the Cambrian explosion, and the systematics of Chilopoda (centipedes). I am interested in the integration of morphological data for extant animals, information from exceptionally preserved fossils, and molecular data.

Introduction

Summary

Research focuses on the evolutionary history of arthropods, animal diversification during the Cambrian explosion, and the systematics of Chilopoda (centipedes). I am interested in the integration of morphological data for extant animals, information from exceptionally preserved fossils, and molecular data.
