What we study
The Acevedo-Charry Lab studies bird ecology and evolution. A recent student project measured wing, beak, tail and body size of island and mainland Bananaquits; its papers cover community-science data, Amazon landscapes and soundscapes.

Intraspecific Trait Variation of Island and Mainland Populations of Coereba flaveola
Researchers measured wing, beak, tail and body sizes of 81 Caribbean yellow‑billed birds from islands and the mainland to see how they differ. The student helped record measurements and run statistical tests and a PCA to compare the groups.
