Rate My Professor Marcella Baiz

Baiz has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications. Key works include 'Gut microbiome composition better reflects host phylogeny than diet diversity in breeding wood-warblers' (Molecular Ecology, 2023), 'Pigmentation genes show evidence of repeated divergence and multiple bouts of introgression in Setophaga warblers' (Current Biology, 2021), 'Rare hybrid may solve ‘genetic problem’ of linked plumage traits' (Ecology, 2021), 'X-linked signature of reproductive isolation is mirrored in a howler monkey hybrid zone' (Journal of Heredity, 2020), and 'Multiple forms of selection shape reproductive isolation in a primate hybrid zone' (Molecular Ecology, 2019). Additional publications cover genomic and plumage variation in Vermivora hybrids (The Auk, 2020), intragroup genetic relatedness in howler monkeys (American Journal of Primatology, 2015), and hybridization insights from various organisms (Evolutionary Anthropology, 2019). She serves on departmental committees and as a Faculty Senate senator representing the College of Arts and Sciences. Baiz's scholarship, cited over 400 times, advances understanding of speciation, hybridization, evolutionary genomics, and ornithology.
