Cracraft's research on the higher-level systematics of birds, speciation analysis, and biogeography all feed into his interests on deciphering how biotas originate and evolve over time, and how one understands patterns and processes of diversification.
A major research effort in his laboratory involves a detailed description of one of the most spectacular examples of "adaptive radiation": the birds of paradise (Paradisaeidae) of New Guinea and surrounding areas.
