What drives the evolution of egg and nest diversity in birds?
I'm an ornithologist and evolutionary biologist with broad interests in natural history, behavioral ecology, and the evolutionary diversification of birds' life histories. In my current doctoral research, I'm exploring the trade-offs that shape the diversity of bird eggs and nest architecture.
