What we do …
Research in the lab focuses on adaptation to changing landscapes. We’re planted firmly at the intersection of evolution, ecology, and conservation biology. Whether concerned with rising sea-levels, landscape development, or changing wind patterns, we study how animal populations (particularly birds) react to our dynamic planet. We measure behavior, morphology, niches, and genes to identify constraints on adaptation and tipping points where populations are no longer resilient.
