Fields of Study Professor Fisher's interests include use of functional morphology and phylogenetic inference (incorporating stratigraphic data) to understand large-scale patterns of change in evolution. He works with chelicerate arthropods, receptaculitid algae, and primitive echinoderms. He is also investigating the nature of human association with mastodons and mammoths and the cause of late Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions. Ruthven Museum http://www.paleontology.lsa.umich.edu/
