RCN Mission
The goal of the Manakin Genomics RCN is to address the evolutionary implications of sexual selection from the level of the genome to the ecosystem using manakins, a family of birds found in tropical forests, as a model clade. The network brings together pioneers in the application of genomic approaches, field researchers that have gathered long-term ecological and behavioral data, software developers and information management specialists to enrich, share, and connect large-scale data sets that provide the foundation to tackle fundamental questions of how traits of organisms evolve.
Funds for the Manakin Genomics RCN come from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology (Grant No. NSF-DEB 1457541).
