Travelogue video from our Spring 2015 Galapagos courses for freshmen — these include a trip through the archipelago as well as intensive coverage of evolutionary biology (BioEE1780, 5 credits) and the humanities (through a writing course centered on the perspectives of different travelers on Galapagos, WRIT1430, 3 credits). Courses and…
Two members of our group–Postdoc Leo Campagna and PhD student Nick Mason–just returned from leading a special multi-day genomics course at the Universidad Autónoma de Mexico (UNAM) in Mexico City. Their course, taught in Spanish to a large and enthusiastic cadre of students and researchers, was an “Introducción a los…
Postdoc David Toews is in the field capturing Golden-winged and Blue-winged Warblers (like these two which he captured in the very same mist-net). These species hybridize extensively; our goal in this study is to gain a much better understanding of how this ongoing hybridization is manifested in the genome-wide levels…
Postdoc Scott Taylor has a new review article coming out in Trends in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology on how hybrid zones can serve as powerful windows on the ecological and evolutionary effects of climate change. Read the full paper here.
A warm welcome to Minene, who is visiting the Cornell through September and working in our lab on paternity analyses. Milene is a PhD candidate at the Universidade de Brasilia (Brazil), where her dissertation project is on the social behavior, evolution, and conservation of a (very cool! and beautiful!) endangered…
