My research program focuses on the systematics, evolution, and biogeography of birds. I study relationships across a broad hierarchy of birds from entire families to within species. A fundamental goal is to understand the origin of biodiversity and the biogeographic history of the Neotropical region including macroevolutionary patterns such as behavioral, ecological, and morphological diversification.
Research interests:
A. Evolution of Neotropical avian diversity
B. Higher level evolutionary relationships of New World Suboscines
C. Behavioral and ecological evolution
