Stevens is Associate Professor of Functional Morphology & Vertebrate Paleontology in the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Department of Biomedical Sciences at Ohio University. Her research “explores interactions between organisms and their environments through time, in particular the relationships between form and function in primates and other animals. Vertebrate paleontological field research in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula aims to unravel the roles of phylogeny and environment for shaping the development of morphological differences associated with specific locomotor and dietary regimes, says her website.
