Research summary

Brian R. Tsuru's research focuses on bird ecology, particularly how species disperse, form communities, and host gut microbes across different regions in the Americas. Recent work examines the gut bacteria of migratory birds moving between North and South America, community structure of birds in Costa Rica, and how dispersal ability relates to geographic range size in Amazonian birds. This work combines fieldwork-based ecology with data on animal-associated microbial communities.
