Christopher B. Cameron

Christopher Cameron is a Full Professor in Biological Sciences at Université de Montréal, researching the evolutionary origins of animal body plans with focus on marine deuterostomes. His laboratory combines comparative morphology, developmental biology, and fluid dynamics to analyze invertebrate diversity.

Research examines hemichordate and echinoderm evolution through fossil evidence, larval development, and feeding biomechanics. Current projects investigate suspension-feeding mechanisms in acorn worms, graptolite origins from Burgess Shale fossils, and phenotypic plasticity in gill structures.

Publications integrate paleontology with experimental fluid dynamics, demonstrating how ecological interactions shape morphological evolution. Fieldwork employs SCUBA techniques to study living invertebrate populations across marine environments.
