Lovette Lab Hybridization and Speciation Comparative Studies Field Courses Understanding Evolutionary Radiations

Lovette Lab

Current faculty, staff, grads, and postdocs whose home-base is our lab. Many other undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and visitors are valuable participants in our greater lab group.

Hybridization and Speciation

We use genomic tools to explore evolutionary changes in chickadees and many other groups of birds.

Comparative Studies

We generate phylogenies and use them for comparative studies of the evolution, ecology, and behavior of warblers, swallows, starlings, mockingbirds, and various other groups of organisms.

Field Courses

We offer international field courses for Cornell students and trips for Cornell Lab of Ornithology members

Understanding Evolutionary Radiations

We explore patterns of evolutionary differentiation in rapidly radiating groups, including warblers, Sporophila seedeaters, Australian skinks, and others.
