His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Post-Cambrian survival of the tubicolous scalidophoran Selkirkia

Stuck in the mud: experimental taphonomy and computed tomography demonstrate the critical role of sediment in three-dimensional carcass stabilization during early fossil diagenesis

Convergent evolution of ventral adaptations for enrolment in trilobites and extant euarthropods

A mid-Cambrian tunicate and the deep origin of the ascidiacean body plan

Convergent adaptation of true crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura) to a gradient of terrestrial environments

Fossil calibrations for molecular analyses and divergence time estimation for true crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura)

Rhabdopleurid epibionts from the Ordovician Fezouata Shale biota and the longevity of cross-phylum interactions

Three-dimensional morphology of the biramous appendages in Isoxys from the early Cambrian of South China, and its implications for early euarthropod evolution
