Jacques Gauthier explores the evolution of turtles, lepidosaurs, crocodilians and birds /(Reptilia/). He is particularly interested in the deep history of these clades, using the methods of phylogenetic systematics and taxonomy, based primarily of the study of the comparative anatomy of the skeleton of fossil and Recent reptiles.
