My work focuses specifically on birds and speciation. I've studied speciation and diversification in Sturnella Meadowlarks, leading to the new species Chihuahuan Meadowlark. I am currently working on diversification patterns in monotypic families, as well as understanding the phylogeography and genomics of Yellow-breasted Chats. My interests in science are diverse: bio and phylogeography, bioacoustics, phylogenomics, and systematics and taxonomy.
