Evolutionary History of Pacific and Welcome Swallows
I am lucky enough to be a collaborator on this research project led by Dr. Elizabeth Scordato at Cal-Poly Pomona. We are studying patterns of population structure, divergence, and adaptation to human environments in Pacific and Welcome Swallows across southeast Asia. In 2018, Liz and I sampled swallows in Malaysia, Borneo, Japan, and Fiji. Field work was disrupted by the pandemic, but we did manage to make it to Tahiti in the summer of 2021. BACK to RESEARCH |
