SUMMARY:How do chickadees communicate about the presence and absence of food?
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Clay Jones\, Ph.D. student\, University of California Davis; AOS 2023 Josselyn Van Tyne Memorial Research Grant winner \n  \n \nForaging as part of a group can afford social animals benefits such as increased protection from predators and opportunities for social learning\, but not much is known about how animals communicate about variation in food availability or maintain group cohesion while foraging. Carolina Chickadees (Poecile carolinensis) form winter foraging flocks and produce complex\, compositional calls at food sources\, potentially to recruit group members and strengthen social bonds. In a field experiment\, I analyzed differences in Carolina Chickadee vocalizations produced when food was available versus when food access was unexpectedly blocked. This research lends insight into how animals communicate at food sources and share information about changing food conditions\, which could aid their survival in unpredictable environments. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Geometric morphometrics of the avian skull related to the presence of the postorbital ligament
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Samantha Gartner\, Assistant Professor\, East Stroudsburg University; AOS 2024 Postdoctoral Research Grant winner\n \n \nPrevious work on cranial ligaments in birds has found the postorbital ligament to affect the cranial kinesis of the bird skull. This talk attempts to integrate skeletal shape with the presence or absence of the postorbital ligament. We find no large scale patterns across the bird phylogeny and instead find smaller scale patterns between sister groups\, indicating the potential plasticity of the evolution of cranial ligaments. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Impact of gut microbiome modulation on nesting house sparrow physiology
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Kristen Rosamond\, Ph.D. candidate\, University of Missouri-St. Louis; AOS 2023 Josselyn Van Tyne Memorial Research Grant winner \n  \n \nThe gut microbiome undergoes succession in early life and plays a key role in shaping host immunity\, and perturbations during this time period can have lasting consequences for physiological function. Here\, I aimed to experimentally disrupt the gut microbiome of wild house sparrow nestlings using probiotics or antibiotics\, followed by an immune challenge to explore whether such manipulations impact host physiology. I will present preliminary results placing these dynamics in an ecological context\, where the effects of such perturbations in wild animals remain poorly understood. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Assessing the long-term impacts of chronic infection with avian malaria in Hawai‘i ‘amakihi
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Emma Stierhoff\, M.Sc. graduate\, University of Hawai‘i; AOS 2022 Student Research Grant winner\n \n \nWhile Hawaiʻi ʻamakihi have demonstrated lower mortality to acute infection with avian malaria than other native honeycreepers\, little is known about the impacts after this acute stage\, as they remain chronically infected with low-level parasitemia. Research done by scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi\, National Parks Service\, and United States Geological Survey in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park over the course of three years elucidated some of these effects. Results from this study suggest that Hawaiʻi ʻamakihi surviving the acute stage of infection may not suffer negative long-term impacts to their fitness. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Investigating communities and bryophyte use in Prothonotary Warbler nests
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Skadi Kylander\, Ph.D. candidate\, East Carolina University; AOS 2024 Josselyn Van Tyne Memorial Research Grant\nwinner\n \n \nMany birds incorporate fresh green plants in their nests\, which has been hypothesized to moderate communities of harmful organisms therein. This hypothesis has received mixed support with species that use vascular plants\, but birds that use nonvascular plants (e.g.\, mosses) have received less attention. I am working with one of these birds\, the Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea)\, to characterize arthropod and fungal communities using molecular techniques and identify plants in nests to investigate relationships among these aspects of nests containing nonvascular plants and will present preliminary findings. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Ghosts That We Knew: Responses to Unfamiliar and Familiar Alarm Calls by Hawaiian Native and Nonnative Birds
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Jonah Dominguez\, Ph.D. candidate\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign University; AOS 2024 Student Research Grant winner\n \n \n  \nBirds can respond to the alarm calls of heterospecifics\, though this is primarily documented in species engaging in mixed-species flocks. In Hawaiʻi\, using the alarm call of native species and species that invasive species evolved alongside but no longer experience\, we tested whether this alarm call response is the result of learned experiences\, evolutionary history\, or acoustic components of the alarm calls. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Low extra-pair paternity and climatic associations in a Patagonian population of Chilean Swallows
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Bruno Riovitti\, Ph.D. student\, University of Buenos Aires\, 2023 Student Research Grant winner \n \nIntraspecific variation in extra-pair paternity (EPP) continues to intrigue researchers\, as the factors shaping this trait remain only partially understood. In this talk\, I present genomic parentage analyses from a Patagonian population of Chilean Swallows (Tachycineta leucopyga) and resulting estimates of EPP rates \, motivated by previous reports of exceptionally low EPP rates in the species at high southern latitudes. I show that EPP rates remain consistently low across two breeding seasons and that EPP probability is significantly associated with local climatic conditions. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Secondary dispersal and philopatry in cooperatively breeding Acorn Woodpeckers
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Chi Wei\, Ph.D. student\, Old Dominion University; 2023 Student Research Grant\nwinner \n \nWhile natal dispersal in birds has been relatively well studied\, secondary movement patterns (i.e.\, when a bird disperses from a breeding territory) remain less explored in social species. Using a 57-year dataset of Acorn Woodpeckers at Hastings Natural History Reservation (California\, USA)\, I examine how demographic and ecological factors shape secondary movement decisions across breeding individuals\, including how some breeders return to their natal territory. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Nightwatch: Uncovering Nightjar Nesting Behaviors with IR Cameras
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Asch Nighthawk\, MSc. graduate\, SUNY Brockport; 2024 Alexander Wetmore Memorial Research Grant \nAs cryptic\, nocturnal birds\, nightjars are notoriously difficult to study. Using custom Raspberry Pi™ IR camera systems\, this project documented nesting behavior at 13 Eastern Whip-poor-will (Antrostomus vociferus) nests in northern New York. The footage captured examples of how Whip-poor-will chicks survive (or fail to survive) predator encounters\, the first confirmed case of social polygyny in the species\, and more\, showing the power of modern camera systems to advance nocturnal bird research. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Do urban songbirds beat the heat? Effects of urbanization and temperature on the behavior\, physiology\, and reproduction of Black Phoebes (Sayornis nigricans)
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Sage Madden\, Ph.D. Candidate\, University of California Davis; 2023 Josselyn Van Tyne Memorial Research Grant winner \nUrbanization and climate change are two major threats to biodiversity\, yet they are often studied in isolation. As a result\, we lack a clear understanding of how their combined effects influence birds and other wildlife. I will present preliminary results of three field seasons investigating the combined effects of urbanization and extreme temperatures on parental care behavior\, stress physiology\, nestling growth and survival\, and nest architecture in a common urban songbird\, the Black Phoebe (Sayornis nigricans)\, in the Sacramento Valley of California. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Spatiotemporal dynamics of geographic range in seasonally migratory birds
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Matthew Hack\, Ph.D. candidate\, University of Michigan; 2024 Student Research Grant winner\n \nBird migration is one of the most spectacular phenomena of the natural world\, as billions of individual birds bring about profound spatial redistributions of biodiversity multiple times per year. My work aims to better understand the ecological and evolutionary factors structuring the distributions and timing of bird migrations. I use a combination of species distributional data and animal tracking technology to explore how the movements of seasonal migrants influence their geospatial distributions\, along with the evolutionary and ecological consequences of differing migratory strategies. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series \n

SUMMARY:Avian responses to forest fragmentation in Borneo
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: William Brooks\, Ph.D. Candidate\, George Mason University\, 2023 Donald L. Bleitz Research Grant winner \n\nForest 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. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series \n
