Olivia speaking at the EBIO Club symposiumCongratulations to Olivia who recently defended her honors thesis! For her honors thesis Olivia studied the songs of black-capped and mountain chickadees in regions where they both occur (Â鶹¹ÙÍø County, Colorado) compared to regions where they do not overlap. She found that mountain chickadees sound more different from black-capped chickadees where the two species co-occur than where they do not overlap, which is a potential example of reproductive character displacement. Stay tuned as Olivia prepares her results for publication!
