Bio:

I study how locomotion works in individual species in order to reconstruct how locomotion has evolved across vast phylogenetic spans. In particular, I'm curious how body size influences locomotor abilities and how anatomy and function are related (or not). Dinosaurs (including birds), elephants, crocodiles, early tetrapods and more species have been favourite subjects of my research. More here: http://rvc.academia.edu/JohnHutchinson
