integrative Evolutionary ecology of brains and behavior
The Botero Lab is broadly interested in the causes and consequences of the evolution of animal behavior. Our team is currently focused on understanding the eco-evolutionary dynamics of avian cognition and human culture, but we are also occasionally involved in efforts to understand and predict organismal responses to climate change. By integrating the analytical tools of evolution, ecology, neuroscience, and biogeography, with large comparative data sets on morphology, behavior, population dynamics and spatial distribution, we seek to test fundamental ideas in these fields and to provide key new insights that can help us move forward.

interested in joining our team?
The Botero Lab is interested in recruiting highly motivated graduate students with a passion for discovery. Background in evolutionary biology, ecology, and/or biogeography is highly recommended. Applications to our graduate program are typically due in the late Fall (contact us for details)
