About Zhiliang Zhang
I am interested in evolutionary phenomena recorded by organic or mineralized fossils during the Cambrian evolutionary radiation and The Great Ordovician Bio-diversification, the most remarkable evolutionary events of animal diversification that have occurred on Earth over the last 540 million years. My current research is devoted to understanding the shape-size variation and bio-mineralization of early skeletal animals, and bringing this information into phylogenetics, trends and patterns of evolution.
