Presented By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminar with Abby Kimmitt, EEB Postdoctoral Fellow, Winger Lab
"Evolutionary consequences of variation in seasonal migration"
This event is part of our ongoing Tuesday lunch seminar series!
About: Seasonal migration is a behavioral adaptation that allows animals to persist in seasonal environments. In this talk, Kimmitt will explore (1) how differences in migratory behavior shape reproductive timing and the underlying physiology and (2) how migratory behavior relates to population genetic structure across a species range. They will integrate tools from molecular biology, neuroendocrinology, behavioral ecology, and evolutionary biology to address the proximate drivers and evolutionary consequences of this seasonal adaptation.
