Welcome to the Morbey Lab!

I am a movement ecologist with an overarching research objective to understand how seasonality and severe weather events structure animal life histories and annual cycles, or more simply, their timing. In my research group, we integrate evolutionary and ecological theory, new data, and modern statistical approaches to address questions about timing in migratory songbirds and fish. Ultimately, how individuals move across space and time has tremendous importance for shaping patterns of biodiversity, species interactions, and ecological and evolutionary responses to climate change.
