What is it about living on islands that drives these changes? Scott Edwards will discuss how modern genomics research helps us understand the evolution and genetic diversity of island birds and how this research can help conservation efforts. </p><p class="p1"><a href="http://hmnh.harvard.edu/files/hmnh/files/evo.matters_postcard.2016.pdf?m=1456851619" data-fid="596731">View all upcoming lectures from the Evolution Matters Series</a></p><p class="p1">Series supported by a generous gift from Drs.
