A warm welcome to Dr. Cecilia Kopuchian and Dr. G. Sebastian Cabanne, who are both visiting the lab from their home institutions in Argentina. Here they will be learning to use new genomic approaches for investigating their research questions about differentiation and conservation genetics. Cecilia comes to us from the…
Leo just gave a well-received talk on Sporophila genomics in one of the very last sessions at this year’s Evolution conference.

Congratulations to postdoc Leo Campagna for being awarded support from the Julia Marsden fund of the Neotropical Grassland Conservancy for his work on the conservation of Sporophila seedeaters in the grasslands of South America.
Postdoc Leo Campagna will be presenting tonight at the Lab’s Monday Night Seminar on “Exploring the origins of Neotropical avian biodiversity”.
Congratulations to postdoc Leo Campagna and his co-authors on their new paper resulting from Leo’s PhD research: Campagna L, Kopuchian C, Tubaro PL, Lougheed SC. 2014. Pleistocene divergence, range expansion, and secondary contact followed by gene flow between mitochondrial lineages of a widespread Neotropical songbird (Zonotrichia capensis). Biological Journal of…
Fuller Postdoc Leo Campagna just presented a talk on the phylogeography of the rufous-collared sparrow at the Argentine Ornithology meeting in La Pampa, Argentina.
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.
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…
