Research Interests:
Research in my lab focuses on questions related to adaptation and speciation in birds.
Current project include investigating: 1) patterns of gene flow and introgression
across avian hybrid zones; 2) patterns of functional differentiation within bird species
with very broad breeding ranges (e.g. Tachycineta swallows); and 3) the influence
of environmental variation on within species genetic variation and structure.
