Chris Brochu's Research Interests
My research program applies a phylogenetic perspective to
temporal issues in paleontology and evolutionary biology.
I am very interested in the ways phylogeny can illuminate
patterns among both living and extinct organisms, from molecular
estimates of divergence timing to patterns of fossil diversity
over geological time. Most of my work explores the phylogeny
and historical biogeography of archosaurs, especially crocodylians
and theropod dinosaurs (Figure 1). I am also involved with
various projects studying the archosaur skull with high-resolution
computed tomography (Figure 2).
