Petra and Kirsten are married!!!
Warmest of congratulations to the former Petra Deane and Kirsten Coe on their marriage today, and on their utterly charming wedding celebration! PS, We all think that their new name of Deane-Coe is probably a good choice over the alternative ordering…
Leo on seedeaters
Congratulations to postdoc Leo Campagna and his co-authors on their new paper resulting from Leo’s PhD research: Campagna L, Silveira LF, Tubaro PL, Lougheed SC. 2013. Identifying the sister species to the rapid capuchino seedeater radiation (Sporophila, Passeriformes). The Auk 130: 645-655.
Welcome new Fuller Postdoc Leo Campagna!
Leo comes to our group from his PhD on Sporophila seedeaters in his native Argentina, and from a postdoc closer at hand in the Loougheed Lab at Queens University. Leo will be continuing to work on that rapid avian radiation using genomic approaches to understanding its history and process of…
