The 2nd paper from my postdoc work on yellowthroat genomics is now online at Molecular Ecology!
Populations of Common Yellowthroats in eastern North America have notable differences in sexual selection on similar plumage ornaments ... 1/4

Simply incredible new work from @fiona_backhouse and @lyrebirdlab. Albert's Lyrebirds rhythmically shake the vegetation on their courtship platform, synchronizing the movement with their vocalizations to enhance the performance! 🤯 doi.org/10.1086/730523

Why do some raptors have more than one plumage morph? In a new publication in Ornithology, we outline what is currently known, and the rich research potential provided by plumage polymorphism in this group.

Going official with the release of something we've been cooking up for the last 3.5 years--a complete phylogeny of the world's birds! We = @snacktavish, @Avibase, and other great collaborators from @opentreeoflife and @CornellBirds. Why is this such a big deal? A few reasons.
I wasn't part of this excellent paper describing the two species of Giant Hummingbird, but I did join @jl_williamson in the Peruvian Andes last summer where I experienced the subtle differences between the two species, summarized in these illustrations shared by @PNASNews .
The giant hummingbird, Patagona gigas, is really two species, a southern species that migrates and a northern species, dubbed Patagona chaski, that does not. Chaski is Quechua for “messenger,” and refers to relay runners of the Inka Empire. In PNAS: ow.ly/F0FP50RO69F

Excellent work on an excellent bird led by an excellent person.
The biggest hummingbird in the world is a new species.
Now out in @PNASNews and 8 years in the making, here's how we figured it out with mini tracking devices, genomics, and a century and a half of museum specimens.👇

🎉🎉🎉 I’m SO EXCITED: In Fall 2025, I will join the University of Wyoming as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Zoology & Physiology! @uwzoophys @uwyoag @UWyonews
Last week in Oklahoma, our team (including some keen @Cornell undergrads) captured this white Red-tailed Hawk!

Another beautiful addition to my home office. This one comes from the talented @BW_Robinson! I basically begged him to paint a harrier. Check him out on Instagram at ornithologi and at his website: ornithologi.bigcartel.com/

We ranked all bird species by conservation priority. Here’s how we did it and what we found. Illustrations are by @BW_Robinson. 🧵 – at Boise, ID

How is sensitivity to altitude affected by evolutionary adaptation?
We studied blood of 77 species of Andean hummingbirds for >15 years to find out.
🚨New paper🚨, now out in @Ecology_Letters!

Peter Kaestner wants to be the first person in the world to see 10,000 species––and he only needs 144 more. I tagged along with him in Peru to find out what the quest––a lifelong pursuit––really takes. @outsidemagazine

Check out my illustration of the endangered Madagascar Serpent-Eagle in a fresh paper led by @_LJSutton and researchers with @peregrinefund, including @CJWMcClure. They model the species distribution and identify areas of suitable but unprotected habitat doi.org/10.1017/S09592709220…
