Research Interests
I am an evolutionary biologist, and my research incorporates molecular techniques and field research to examine evolutionary patterns and processes. My research program is varied, but there are three main foci in my research program: 1) phylogenetics, he use of phylogenies for comparative studies, and some exploration of methods for phylogenetic estimation; 2) behavior, particularly mating systems, sexual selection and social behavior; and 3) linking changes in the genome with changes at the organismal level in an explicit evolutionary framework to elucidate the proximate and ultimate causes of these changes. I primarily work on birds, but I enjoy collaborating with people working in various taxa (e.g., insects, spiders, plants).
