Have you ever wondered why flickers, with their striking colors, look so
different across regions? Or what happens when Eastern Yellow-shafted and
Western Red-shafted flickers meet? Join us as Dr. Aguillon shares her
research on these fascinating “Flicker intergrades” and what they reveal
about genetic diversity and adaptation in bird populations. Using
cutting-edge genomic sequencing, Dr. Aguillon will guide us through the
story of flicker coloration and the exciting science behind it.
This is a unique opportunity to dive deep into bird genetics and explore
what makes these vibrant woodpeckers so distinct. Whether you’re a birder,
scientist, or just curious, this talk will bring the beauty of flickers—and
the science of coloration—into a whole new light!
