Abstract
Songbirds display a dazzling diversity of social behaviors. With the increasing accessibility of genomic data, songbirds also provide a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms underlying differences in behavior. Drawing insights from ongoing studies in the Balakrishnan Lab, this talk will highlight patterns of inter- and intraspecific diversity in behavior. The talk will focus on variation in parental care and song learning behavior, and will highlight ongoing efforts aimed at better understanding the genomic underpinnings of these behaviors.
