For the past few years I've been obsessed with the question of where Cuban bobwhites came - are they native or introduced, where did they come from, and when did they get there? Super excited to share our findings, out now in Molecular Ecology! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

It was so much fun to work on this with @s_m_aguillon! I hope it inspires folks to study atypical-colored birds and think of creative ways for using community science data!

Help! I'm trying to connect with folks in southern California who are raising bobwhites or California quail - I'm studying their feather lice and am looking to collect some lice for my research. If you or a friend have backyard quail get in touch!

Why do yellow pigments look redder when there's more pigment or a longer pathlength? To explain why, we discuss the carotenoid redshift & beautiful tanager birds in Ecology and Evolution!
