Andrew Thornhill
I am a research associate in a joint position between The State Herbarium of South Australia and The University of Adelaide. I study various aspects of plant evolution with an emphasis on Australian plants and large phylogenetic studies.
I study the evolution, palynology, phylogenetics, systematics, and biogeography of the Myrtaceae and in particular have worked on the phylogenetic relationships of the eucalypts which are a very species rich group in Myrtaceae. I work on utilising plant fossils as calibrations in molecular dating analyses and bryophyte (moss, liverwort, and hornwort) phylogenetics.
