I am joining the Taylor Lab to begin work on the examination of a possible hybrid zone between the eastern and western forms of Troglodytes aedon, the House Wren. I am going to be working with the Â鶹¹ÙÍø Chickadee Study and the Denver Museum of Natural Science to obtain samples from the front range as well as from the core ranges of each subspecies. I will use those sequenced genomes to try and infer population structure as well as possible introgression to determine whether a house wren hybrid zone exists along the northern front range.
