Research summary

Kaiya L. Provost's research focuses on the evolutionary genetics and ecology of birds (and some bats), particularly how species and populations diverge across desert landscapes and adapt to environmental change such as urbanization. Work combines genomic data, phylogenetics (the study of evolutionary relationships), and bioinformatics tools to understand species boundaries, gene flow, and trait evolution in birds like parrots, cardinals, and cowbirds. The research also involves building open-access databases and software tools for organizing biological and ecological data.
