PARADIVE TEAM
Our main research focuses macroevolution, particularly on the relative contributions of biotic interactions (e.g., parasitism) and abiotic factors (e.g., climate) in driving large-scale EVOLUTIONARY patterns. Other interests are quantitative methods in PALEONTOLOGY and paleobiology in general. Our main tools for these purposes are invertebrates, Particularly MOLLUSKS (PARTICULARLY BIVALVES AND CEPHALOPODS) and parasitIC HELMINTHS.
