Welcome! and thanks for visiting this webpage.
I'm a researcher at CONICET (National Science Council, Argentina), Associate Curator and member of a research group based
at the Division of Ornithology of the Argentinean Museum of Natural History, Buenos Aires.
Email: gscabanne AT yahoo.com
Our main research interests at the Division of Ornithology are:
a) Biogeography and evolution of shared birds between the Andean and Atlantic forest,
b) Biogeography and evolution of Chaco birds.
c) Genomic-phenotypic evolution and action of natural selection across different geographic set-ups.
d) Biogeography of Chaco/Andean birds.
e) Biogeography and conservation of grassland specialists.
I am also involved in some collaborative projects, being some examples:
a) Biogeography of Chaco and Caatinga birds (with Luciano Naka, Cássia Alves and Renato Caparroz, Brazil)
Current Postdoc
Alejandro Manuel Ferreiro. FONCYT fellowship. His research in focused on the evolution of open area birds in
the Neotropics, and on identifying factors affecting variation in the relationship between
climate and genomic constitution.
Current PhD students
Bárbara Delgado, FONCyT fellow. Her research topic will be related to divergence with gene flow in birds.
Started July 2021.
Silvia Martínez Gómez, CONICET fellow. Silvia is involved in a collaborative project with Luciano Naka, and
will study evolution of open area birds (for instance Chaco and Caatinga).
Undergraduate student (Interns)
We have room to receive undergrads!
