Dr. Yanega is an ornithologist and evolutionary biologist working to integrate facets of behavior, morphology, and ecology to understand the evolution of feeding in birds. He is interested in how certain morphological structures- like beaks- are called upon to perform a wide range of functions, and he will be talking about this kind of tension in function using the hummingbird beak as an example. He uses tools from physics, natural history, behavior, and phylogenetic comparative biology to address a fundamental question in organismal biology: where's the next meal coming from, and how do I catch it?
