About
Hannah Byrne is a Visiting Professor at the Department of Organismal Biology at Uppsala University, specializing in Evolution and Development. Her research focuses on vertebrate evolution, Devonian ecosystems, and the environmental drivers of major evolutionary transitions. She collaborates internationally on projects involving fossil morphology analysis and paleoenvironmental reconstruction.
Key research interests include placoderm phylogeny, post-extinction ecosystem recovery, and the interplay between tides and vertebrate adaptation. Byrne's work bridges paleontology with geological and ecological data to understand macroevolutionary patterns.
Her recent publications analyze coprolite ecosystems in post-Devonian settings and the role of tidal forces in fish-tetrapod evolution. While no specific awards are listed, her interdisciplinary approach has been widely cited in paleontological and geological literature. No advising or grant information is provided in the text.
