EEB Thursday Seminar: Bridges, rafts, and phenotypic diversification in the Gulf of Guinea archipelago
Rayna Bell,Curator in the Division of Reptiles and Amphibians at the Smithsonian Institution (National Museum of Natural History)
Island faunas have inspired evolutionary biologists for centuries and I am especially captivated by the enigmatic history of amphibians on islands. Over the last ten years I have been studying amphibian diversification in the Gulf of Guinea archipelago, a chain of islands off the coast of Central Africa that is composed of one land-bridge island (Bioko) and three oceanic islands (Príncipe, São Tomé, and Annobón). In this talk I integrate genomic, behavioral, ecological and morphological data to investigate the colonization history and diversification of the archipelago’s amphibian fauna.
