About Lucas Legendre

My research focuses mainly on the evolution of biomineralized structures in extant and extinct vertebrates. I use histology, microscopy, and X-ray computed tomography to image and quantify microanatomical traits within these structures, as well as cutting-edge statistical methods to infer the functional constraints and evolutionary history of those traits in a phylogenetic comparative context.

I am currently a Research Associate at UT Austin, working on the evolution of reptile eggshell microstructure, as well as the evolution of the syrinx in modern birds, among other projects.
