SUMMARY:SBS Seminar - Rebecca Safran
DESCRIPTION:Title: The role of divergent sexual selection in speciation.\n
  \nAs a behavioral and evolutionary biologist, I am fascinated by relatio
 nships among different scales of analysis. Our lab addresses questions re
 lated to the underlying molecular basis of morphological traits, asks how
  these traits are shaped by selection and historical processes, andanalyz
 es the role of individual-level process for shaping population patterns. 
  Barn swallows are widespread throughout the Holarctic with fascinating l
 evel of phenotypic divergence in morphology andbehavior. We are currently
  using an integrative approach to examine divergent phenotypic variation 
 in this young radiation of birds. In this seminar, I will explore the rol
 e of history, selection, and physiological mechanisms in shaping divergen
 t phenotypic variation among populations in this young species complex. I
  explore the possibility that sexual selection has played an important ro
 le in shaping behavioral and morphological variation among closely relate
 d populations of barn swallows, with recent evidence that this may be wid
 espread in a number of other taxa.\n
