Case study assessing the efficency/integration of evolutionary methods used in a research program

I have chosen Dr. Sandra Rehan as the principal investigator for my case study. She is a biology professor at York University and her research program focuses on the behavior, ecology, and evolution of bees. Her labs use molecular phylogeny, comparative genomics, behavioral ecology, and pollinator health.

This is her website:

The papers I have selected are: 

Brasil SNR, Ayers AC, Rehan SM (2023) The effect of urbanization and seasonality on wild bee abundance, body size and foraging efforts. Ecological Entomology. 48:499-507

These papers will be the focus of my case study. Some of the “evolutionary methods” found in these papers that you can address in the case study are: AMOVA analysis, Beyesian analysis, etc. If you find others, you should talk about them as well. If you have any questions, please let me know thank you!
