"Cooperation and Conflict: The Bizarre Breeding Behaviors of Tropical Cuckoos"

  • Virtual Program via Zoom United States (map)

VIRTUAL PROGRAM - see details provided below on how to tune-in to the program.

The Anis -- including the Groove-billed and Smooth-billed Anis of Texas and Florida, and the Greater Ani of South America -- share an unusual nesting strategy known as communal nesting. Several pairs cooperatively build a single nest in which all of the females lay their eggs, and the entire group shares incubation, nest defense, and parental care. In this talk, Christie Riehl will discuss the results of her long-term field study of Greater Anis in Panama, focusing on the fascinating cooperative behaviors of this tropical cuckoo.

Christie Riehl is an assistant professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University and a lifelong birder. Originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, she received her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2011 and returned to Princeton in 2015 after a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University.
