Bio/Research
My research centers on questions about the generation and maintenance of evolutionary diversity in natural systems across levels of biological organization that span genes and genomes, to behavior and community structure. Using a combination of phylogenetic, comparative, and experimental methodologies, I document temporal and geographic patterns of diversification, test hypotheses about the historical processes that produce those patterns, and explore their consequences for the present-day ecology and behavior of birds and other organisms.
At the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, I supervise the Fuller Evolutionary Biology Program, where my overarching goal is to attract and support an intellectually broad and curious community of scholars that generates a steady output of high-quality research, and which trains undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and interns to become leaders in evolutionary biology, conservation genetics, behavioral ecology, and related fields.
