Jessica M. Theodor. Department of Biological Sciences, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, T2N 1N4, Canada. jtheodor@ucalgary.ca
Jessica Theodor is a Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Palaeontology at the University of Toronto in 1989, a Ph.D. at the University of California at Berkeley in 1996, and then completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at UCLA. Her research focuses on understanding the causes of organismal diversity patterns found over geologic time. Her research into ungulate diversity patterns has taken two distinct approaches to these factors, one focusing on morphological evolution and patterns of diversification in a single lineage (Cetartiodactyla), and the other on extrinsic causes of changes in diversity in feeding guilds of ungulates during the Miocene.
