Abstract
Tell us a little about your research.— I study the evolution of form and function within the context of understanding aquatic biodiversity. My work integrates biomechanics, morphometry, and bio-imaging with phylogenetics and evolutionary ecology. I am principally interested in the evolution of traits, and I rely on this gamut of techniques and perspectives to tease apart the complex histories of why an animal looks and behaves a certain way. For instance, I am how my coauthors and I combined diet data, and high-resolution imaging to tease apart the evolutionary relationships of piranhas and pacus (Serrasal-midae). combination of methods us propose relationships pacus and
