Phylogenetic work on Neotropical birds has focused on rates of diversification and comparative biogeography (Tello and Bates 2007, Pantané et al 2009, Patel et al. Research in the our lab has involved gathering and interpreting genetic data in both phylogeographic and phylogenetic frameworks. I am an ornithologist, but students working with me and my wife Shannon Hackett and other museum curators also have studied amphibians and small mammals (bats and rodents) and more recently internal, external and blood parasites (e.g., Lutz et al. We study comparative genetic structure and evolution primarily in the Afrotropics, the Neotropics, and the Asian tropics. ![]() My students and I study genetic structure in tropical birds and other organisms to address how this diversity evolved and how it continues to evolve as climates change and humans continue to alter landscapes. ![]() I am most intrigued by evolution at the tips of the tree of life.
