Darin
Croft is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anatomy at Case Western
Reserve University in Cleveland. He received his B.A. from The University of
Iowa and his M.S. and Ph.D. from The University of Chicago. He spends most of
his time teaching human anatomy to medical and graduate students at Case and
investigating the fossil mammals of South America. He has active field programs
in the Andes of Chile and Bolivia, and his research spans alpha taxonomy
(describing new species), phylogenetics (how animals are related), paleoecology
(how extinct animals lived and interacted with each other), and macroecology
(large scale trends in species diversity and community evolution). Many of his
investigations focus on a group of endemic (and now extinct) mammals called
notoungulates.
