Research / Scholarly Activities
Much of Dr. Rolian's work focuses on the evolution, development and functional morphology of the vertebrate limb skeleton. He is particularly interested in skeletal variation in size and shape between individuals: how it originates in, and is structured by, normal processes of organismal development, and how this can affect the ability of the limb bones to evolve in response to natural and artificial selection.
