Michael Benton

Michael J. Benton est un membre de la Royal Society of Edinburgh[1] et professeur de paléontologie des vertébrés au département des sciences de la Terre de l'Université de Bristol[2]. Son travail a porté principalement sur l'évolution des reptiles du Trias, mais il a également travaillé sur les événements à l'origine de l'extinction et des changements de faunes dans les gisements de fossiles. Son travail paraît dans le New Scientist[3].

Il est l'auteur de plusieurs livres de paléontologie (par exemple Vertebrate Palaeontology -Paléontologie des vertébrés-) et de livres pour enfants[4]. Il est également conseiller pour les productions de nombreux médias, comme la BBC avec Sur la terre des dinosaures. Ses centres de recherche comprennent: la diversification de la vie, la qualité de conservation des fossiles, les formes de phylogénies, la congruence âge-clade, les extinctions de masse[5], l'évolution de l'écosystème du Trias, la phylogénie des Diapsida primitifs, les archosauriens primitifs, et l'origine des dinosaures.
