British palaeontologist
Graham Edward Budd is a British palaeontologist . He is Professor and head of palaeobiology at Uppsala University .[ 2] [ 3]
Budd's research focuses on the Cambrian explosion and on the evolution and development , anatomy , and patterns of diversification of the Ecdysozoa , a group of animals that include arthropods .[ 1]
Life and work
Budd was born on 7 September 1968 in Colchester (Essex ). He obtained his undergraduate degree at the University of Cambridge and remained there, in the Department of Earth Sciences , to continue his studies at a doctoral level by investigating the Sirius Passet fossil lagerstätte from the Cambrian of North Greenland .[ 1] lobopodian , Kerygmachela [ 4] postdoc along with his PhD supervisor John Peel.[ 1]
Together with Sören Jensen he reintroduced the concepts of stem and crown groups to phylogenetics [ 5] molecular clocks current usage in determining the origin of animal and plant groups.[ 6] [ 7]
He has edited Acta Zoologica together with Lennart Olsson ; he has also edited the Geological Magazine .
