Research conducted by faculty in Integrative Anatomy bridges the fields of evolutionary morphology and clinically relevant anatomical sciences. Faculty possess a broad range of expertise in lab-, museum- and field-based investigations of the evolutionary and translational significance of anatomical variation in primates, mammals and vertebrates.
Principal research areas center on: quantitative approaches to neural and cranial imaging and integration (Drs. Aldridge and Holliday); allometric, multivariate and geometric morphometric analyses of ontogeny and phylogeny (Drs. Aldridge, Holliday and Ward); adaptive significance of musculoskeletal transformations during major evolutionary events (Drs. Aldridge, Holliday and Ward); and experimental analyses of joint formation, function, formation and aging (Drs. Aldridge, Holliday and Ward).
