Our lab studies primarily birds (and, on occasion, bats and frogs) to understand a) the biomechanics of form and function, particularly relating to bills and functional morphology, b) the function and evolution of complex, temporally sequenced acoustic signals, and c) how biological sound enables us to study patterns and processes in ecological communities. We employ a combination of field work, laboratory experiments, research in natural history collections and (more recently) work in zoos. Further details are on the website.
