Twitter home for the Harvey Lab at UTEP. We study bird diversity but have broad interests in ornithology, evolution, genomics, and social/environmental issues.
New paper from postdoc Marco Rêgo (@marco_birdmaps) mapping species distributions on a whole new level! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
I’m excited to announce that I will be joining the biology faculty at UT El Paso this summer to start my behavioral and sensory ecology lab focused on light effects on arthropods! Thank you all for helping me land a tenure track position.
We are hiring a postdoc to work on our NSF-funded project on suboscine bird diversification! Rough goal is to build phylogenies from massive dataset (data are incoming!) and analyze diversification. Posting: shorturl.at/RkYkE
UTEP is recruiting a biology department chair. If you are a full professor or equivalent and want to lead a growing and diverse group, apply! utep.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetail…
Lots of cool new work in the lab - we are super excited to present and discuss this week at #Evol2023!
New paper co-authored by PhD student Manuelita Sotelo!
This one was a huge effort across the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. Thanks to the great team of co-authors! Check out our new paper on how introgression, body size, forest cover and geographic space influence song variation in fire-eye antbirds. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.108…
It’s official: El Paso’s mystery hummingbird is a hybrid — but the reveal leaves more questions than answers. @ProkopDani reports. elpasomatters.org/2022/11/29/dna…

Lab members Oscar Johnson (@henicorhina) and Mike Harvey collaborated on this massive effort to collect and collate avian trait data!
And...it's out! AVONET, a collection of morphological measurements and ecological trait data for 90,020 individual birds representing 11,009 species, fully integrated with phylogenetic, geographic, IUCN, and eBird info, published today in Ecology Letters. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

The latest #AvianHybrids story! Based on a cool study in @EvolLetters where researchers estimated the incidence of introgression across the evolutionary tree of suboscine birds. And they found a lot of introgression... avianhybrids.wordpress.com/2022/01/26/ram… #ornithology
