ABOUT THIS GRANT

Avian responses to forest fragmentation in Borneo
2026-02-02 12:00 - 13:00 | https://americanornithology-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_p6pvoBRDSZ6eP-H_KntpXA#/
AOS Student Research Grant Seminar
Presenter: William Brooks, Ph.D. Candidate, George Mason University, 2023 Donald L. Bleitz Research Grant winner

Forest fragmentation drives global declines in biodiversity, particularly among tropical birds inhabiting the forest understory. At present, we do not understand why these birds are particularly sensitive. We are using passive acoustic surveys, comparative analyses of microclimate and light intensity use, and landscape genetics to attempt to investigate this issue in Borneo, an under-studied biodiversity hotspot in Southeast Asia.
