Congratulations to Jake Berv, who defended his PhD and then rolled right into the Cornell graduation ceremony. Jake’s work has focused on processes of differentiation in birds, ranging from recent patterns of phylogeographic differentiation in tropical manakins all the way to the deepest parts of the avian tree of life and the forces that have shaped overall avian diversity. At the end of the summer, Jake will be moving on to a Life Sciences Postdoc at the University of Michigan. Congratulations on these many fronts to Dr. Berv!
