I have a new preprint demonstrating a genome-architecture-aware approach to inferring species trees and introgression landscapes from a small number of genomes. If you are interested in phylogenomics, birds, or hybridization, this is for you! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
The genomic landscape of asymmetric introgression tracks chromosomal characteristics in tinamous (Aves: Tinamidae) https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.26.690533v1
New simulation study with Ethan Gyllenhaal highlighting a potentially big problem for biogeographic inference.

Abstract. Biogeography relies on estimates of phylogeny and gene flow to test hypotheses. Established theory posits: (i) gene flow varies non-randomly with
New paper out. If you like colorful birds, hybridization, and phylogenetics, read on! 🧵https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3003501

Come join me and other great colleagues at @ib_unam !! We’re searching for a new orno 🦅 🦢 🦉 systematics researcher/prof. for the largest bird collection in Mexico. See details herein www.ib.unam.mx/ibunam/Convo... Amigxs ornitólogxs! Habemus búsqueda de nuevx investigadorx! Apliquen!
During #SSB2026 @bruno-soares.bsky.social gave an excellent talk about the difficulty Global South researchers have describing new species because they often have to view types in US/European museums.
Here is one solution we came up, published today: academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...
I’m recruiting a PhD and MSC student for fall 2026 working on the movement ecology and conservation of Mexican spotted owls in SW forests and rocky canyonlands. Exciting partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory. Great vibrant lab group, high impact research! 🦉
