The drivers of avian diversification
WHO?: Dr. Christopher Cooney (University of Sheffield-UK)
LANGUAGE?: English.
WHEN?: Thursday 06/10/2022 - 12:00 am.
WHERE?: Seminar Room - SS6 (Institutes building floor -1)
ABSTRACT:
Understanding the processes promoting the diversification of life is crucial, now more so than ever, and achieving this goal requires integrating large amounts of data from diverse sources with suitable analytical approaches. In this talk, I will describe insights from my own research into avian diversity patterns, focusing on recent work examining key drivers of ecological and sexual trait diversity and species richness differences among avian lineages. Studying patterns of avian diversification such as these can provide a window into the processes governing global-scale biodiversity patterns and help us to answer the eternal question of why some branches of the Tree of Life are more diverse than others.
