    Project Details

    Description

    We will discover when and where two key abilities first evolved in early vertebrates, electroreception and nocturnality, through study of exceptional 3-D fossils and comparisons with living vertebrates to determine osteological signals indicating physiological abilities. We will determine how these effected the shaping of modern fish biodiversity
