ok #introduction I'm an #evolutionarybiologist and #behavioralecologist studying how social interactions lead to biodiversity. I'm big on #socialselection, #polymorphism, #color, #genetics and #teaching /course development (queer bio woo!).

My main study organisms are #hummingbirds, especially white-necked jacobins (Florisuga mellivora), which have female polymorphism -- 20% females look like males, while the rest look different. I love them 💓
