Using birds to understand global change

Our group is based in the School for Environment and Sustainability at University of Michigan. We are focused on understanding how species and communities are responding to human-induced changes in the environment, which we primarily do through macroevolutionary and macroecological analyses of functional traits derived from museum specimens. We supplement this approach with field-based observational work, in situ experimental manipulation, and genomics-based approaches to understanding ecological and evolutionary dynamics. So far we've been grinding away with birds, but we'll happily use any system best suited to addressing a question.
