I fell in love with Neotropical passerines more than a decade ago. I focused my interest on their annual cycle and more particularly their molt strategies.

 


arbolunitarioPhD Thesis I aim at reconstructing the evolution of moult strategies and unravelling the factors that influence molt pattern formation and variation in passerines. The approach involves unsupervised methods to reveal patterns and phylogenetic analyses to reconstruct trait evolution throughout the tree of this order.
