Dr. Stephanie Palmer, PhD

PhD, Johns Hopkins University

Areas of Expertise

• Functional Anatomy
• Evolutionary Biology
• Embryology
• Histology

Research Interests

• Structure–function relationships in vertebrate morphology

Research Focus Summary

Dr. Palmer’s work centers on understanding how mammalian functional anatomy supports adaptations for feeding and sensory ecology. By integrating data from the fossil record and phylogenetic relationships, Dr. Palmer seeks to understand how the relationships among form, function, and ecology have changed over evolutionary time.
