I'm looking for PhD student to join my lab at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (Fall 2027)! If you're interested in evolutionary genomics, conservation genetics, or biogeography, please reach out. I'll also be at #AOS2026 this week talking about sexual selection in small populations.

Happy to share this 'capstone' project from my time as a postdoc @umich.edu, where we show that hierarchically nested bursts of body-shape evolution may underlie much of perching-bird diversification over ~50 million years. Free access link here: rdcu.be/fuxB1

#NewPaperAlert! This one has a massive author list and has been a LONG time in coming, but is SO COOL! First, check out the first figure to get you interested! Manakins! Fruit! Sexual-selection in action (displays and Z:A chromosomal diversity)! Read on for the back story & link 1/n

above: montage of brightly coloured tropical birds, some in interesting display postures, some eating fruit
below: a phylogeny that includes those same taxa (and others) and a plot of the ratio of genetic diversity on the autosomes relative to the Z chromosomes

The type series of images for the description of Ptilorrhoa urrissia, sp. nov. the "Hooded Jewel-babbler" - no type specimens collected #Ornithology

Figure caption: Camera trap images of the holotype and two paratype Ptilorrhoa urrissia, taken during a 3-month sampling period in a high-density array covering 0.5 ha (see Methods). The holotype (a–c, marked ‘h’ in (a)) and one paratype (a and d, marked ‘p’ in (a)), putative adult female and juvenile with female-type plumage, respectively, were photographed together on 1 January 2020; the images shown are part of a sequence of 20 photographs taken over a period of 87 s. The putative adult male paratype (e) was photographed less than 40 m away on 8 March 2020.
