I approach this problematic using molecular tools to study the evolution of avian systems, generally in the early stages of speciation. I also use field ornithology methods and the comparative analysis of vocalizations and coloration. I have experience in a wide variety of genetic methods that allow the study of organisms with different degrees of divergence and sampled using different designs (e.g., individuals versus loci). These methods include phylogenetics, phylogeography, population genetics, landscape genetics, and genomics. A significant part of my work has focused on understanding species limits and patterns of introgression in an explosive radiation of South American finches in the genus Sporophila.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Leonardo Campagna\" href=\"https:\/\/live-lovette-lab.pantheonsite.io\/?page_id=138\">Biosketch<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/leonardocampagna.weebly.com\/\">Website<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-lovette-lab.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/CV-Campagna-September-2017.pdf\">Click here to download Leonardo&#8217;s CV<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:leocampagna@gmail.com%20\">Email<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sara Kaiser<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>Research Ecologist<br \/>\n<\/em><em>Director, Hubbard Brook Field Ornithology Program<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2642 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/live-lovette-lab.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S_Kaiser-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lovette.eeb.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S_Kaiser-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lovette.eeb.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S_Kaiser-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lovette.eeb.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S_Kaiser-768x771.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lovette.eeb.cornell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/S_Kaiser.jpg 797w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/strong>My field-based research program focuses&nbsp;on an integrative understanding of how the environment shapes the evolution of complex social behavior, especially reproductive strategies and cooperation.

I am now&nbsp;<\/span><\/span>investigating hummingbirds\u2019 use of a shallow form of torpor. <span class=\"gmail_default\">Torpor is an energy saving strategy that hummingbirds often use over night. They lower they body temperature and metabolic rates, spending as little as 2% of the energy they would spend without torpor. <\/span>Mammals can drop their metabolic rate to varying extents\u2014using torpor at various depths\u2014but birds are not known to do the same. Over 40 species of birds are known to use some form of torpor, but each species is thought to have a minimum tolerable torpid body temperature that it will drop to, ambient temperatures permitting. Birds are not described to regulate their body temperature above that minimum in torpor, if ambient temperatures are close to or below their minimum body temperature. Hummingbirds have long been known to use deep torpor (dropping their core body temperature to between 6.5-20C). <span class=\"gmail_default\">My collaborators and I&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"gmail_default\">recently <\/span>discovered<span class=\"gmail_default\"> that<\/span> hummingbirds are also capable of regulating their body temperature at an intermediate state between that of sleep and deep torpor (surface temperatures ranged between 19.5\u201329C). The occurrence of shallow torpor in these birds clearly capable of lowering their body temperature further indicates that they are balancing the costs (e.g. sleep deprivation, loss of immune function, predation) and benefits (energy savings) of deep torpor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-lovette-lab.pantheonsite.io\/?page_id=2650\">Biosketch<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a

The program provides seniors the opportunity to conduct research at Cornell University during their senior year. I am excited to have been accepted to Cornell in the Fall of 2020 and plan to study Animal Science in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>Currently I am conducting research on the conservation genetics of Grasshopper Sparrows (Ammodramus savannarum). Skewed adult sex ratios can exacerbate population declines by limiting the ability of individuals to find mates and reproduce in monogamous species. My research examines the association between the sex ratio of nestlings and adults in a small, declining population of Grasshopper Sparrows at the Chester River Field Research Station in Maryland. Under the mentorship of Sara Kaiser, I am using genetic techniques to determine the sex from blood samples collected from 2005-2009 and examining demographic and environmental factors affecting changes in adult sex ratios from 1999-2014.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">LOVETTE LAB ALUMNI<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Lovette Lab Alumni\" href=\"https:\/\/live-lovette-lab.pantheonsite.io\/?page_id=92\">Where are they now?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
