Dr Erik Sperling is Agouron post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University, USA.
His multidisciplinary work on the early evolution of animals has spanned morphology, palaeontology, geochemistry and molecular genetics. One of his major current interests is the role of environmental change, particularly fluctuations in oxygen levels, on the physiology and ecology of early animals.
