GROUP MEMBERS

Alexa Sadier
Principal Investigator

Alexa studies the developmental rules that shape morphological evolution in bats and mammals. She uses teeth, ectodermal appendages and sensory organs to understand how animals adapt to their enviroments on Earth and beyond.

Fanny Gagliardi
PhD student

Fanny investigates the origin and diversification of mammalian tooth classes using morphometrics and developmental biology approaches. She is passionate about bats and will mainly focus on them before expanding to other groups.

Benoît Moison
IE CNRS

Benoît studies the evolution of bat tooth shape using CTscans and morphometrics. He is also in charge of maintaining our databases.
