My professional interests include molecular and morphological evolution, genetics and ecology of speciation, functional morphology, behavioral ecology and biogeography, including:
- molecular phylogenetics using several independent loci, (mitochondrial, autosomal and sex-specific),
- phylogeography and population genetics of widely distributed species,
- mitochondrial genomics and genetic basis of adaptation to cold,
- ecological and behavioral mechanisms of speciation,
- evolution of avian communities,
- studies of rates of morphological evolution using molecular phylogenetic methods,
- Holarctic biogeography,
- ecology, life cycles, and habitat use of alpine, boreal, and arctic birds,
- studies of foraging behavior and locomotion for interpretation of adaptive significance of various morphological traits,
- conservation policies.
I am also interested in developing and using museum collections for comparative evolutionary, molecular and morphological studies.
