Summary
Marta Vidal-garcia is a postdoctoral evolutionary biologist with eight years of research experience probing the relationship between form and function across vertebrate and invertebrate systems. She combines 3D geometric morphometrics, comparative methods, and machine learning to reveal macroevolutionary patterns driving morphological diversity and has recently integrated developmental genetics to trace the bases of phenotypic variation. Based at the University of Calgary after a postdoc at ANU, she brings a cross-cultural academic background from Spain, Finland, and Australia to her interdisciplinary work. Marta’s toolkit spans empirical anatomy, locomotion studies, and computational approaches, enabling her to link shape, performance, and evolutionary process in novel ways.
