 chester)

DESCRIPTION:Life first came on to land in the Palaeozoic Era (541 – 252.
 2 Ma). The earliest land animals were arthropods (including arachnids and 
 insects) – a group which comprised the vast majority of described living
  species\, and was similarly diverse in early terrestrial ecosystems. This
  talk will provide an introduction to Palaeozoic terrestrial arthropods\, 
 with an emphasis on some of the techniques we have used to better understa
 nd them. It is intended to demonstrate the breadth of contemporary palaeon
 tology\, which isn’t limited solely to inspecting fossils with microscop
 es and reporting results. We will foray into (and introduce) high resoluti
 on CT scanning\, evolutionary developmental biology\, molecular clock dati
 ng and cladistics\, and highlight many of the questions in terrestrialisat
 ion which remain unanswered.
