RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Picture
​
​Broadly, I am interested in the evolution of mating/ social systems, cooperation and conflict within social groups, the behavioral and morphological traits that mediate social interactions, evolution of avian coloration/ vision, and avian systematics and phylogeography.

My doctoral research focuses on the variegated fairy-wren (Malurus lamberti), a cooperatively breeding bird endemic to eastern Australia.
