Silence of the Songbirds
Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Symposium Keynote Speaker
Dr. Bridget Stutchbury, professor in the Department of Biology at York University in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Stutchbury’s research focuses on conservation biology, ecology, and behavior of songbirds in both North America and the New World tropics. Dr. Stutchbury will discuss declines in songbird populations and threats to their continuing decline. She will present evidence that songbirds truly are the “canaries in the coal mine”—except the coal mine looks a lot like Earth and we are the hapless excavators.

Frequent Fliers: Tracking Songbird Migration
NREM Seminar
Dr. Bridget Stutchbury, professor in the Department of Biology at York University in Toronto, Canada. The Stutchbury lab has used light level “geolocators” on purple martins and wood thrush to track individuals to their wintering grounds and back. Geolocators are a critical new conservation tool that allows us to study the wintering region, and hence potential threats like tropical deforestation, where a given migratory population over-winters. Dr. Stutchbury will present her lab’s latest data on geolocator tracking of songbirds.

Location: 142 West Lagomarcino
Time: 3:10pm
