  1. Martin R. Smith I am interested in the origins of complex animal life, as revealed by the fossil record. Teasing evolutionary information from ancient rocks requires sophisticated mathematical techniques; I develop bioinformatic and phylogenetic methods to better understand the patterns and processes documented by the palaeontological record.

  6. Jun 27, 2024 · Martin R. Smith. Article. Metrics. Get access Rights & Permissions. Abstract. Nectocaridids are soft-bodied Cambrian organisms that have been controversially interpreted as primitive cephalopods, at odds with the long-held belief that these mollusks evolved from a shell-bearing ancestor.
