  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.

  3. Martin Ross Smith. Motivation: The Robinson-Foulds (RF) metric is widely used by biologists, linguists and chemists to quantify similarity between pairs of phylogenetic trees.

  4. Martin R. Smith I am an Associate Professor in Durham University's Department of Earth Sciences. I use the fossil record to illuminate the origins of life's complexity.

  5. Associate Professor in Palaeontology at Durham University. Interested in understanding macroevolutionary events such as the Cambrian Explosion by interpreting exceptionally preserved macrofossils and microfossils in a phylogenetic context.

  6. Mar 2, 2016 · According to Dr. Martin Smith, a paleontologist at Durham University, UK, a fossil dating from the Silurian period of the Palaeozoic era, about 440 million years ago, is not only the oldest example of a fossilized fungus, but is also the oldest fossil of any terrestrial organism yet found.
