SUMMARY:Genome-wide DNA methylation varies due to cold temperature acclimation and between tissue types in house sparrows
DESCRIPTION:AOS Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Chelsi Marolf\, Visiting Assistant Professor\, Nebraska Wesleyan University; 2025 Werner and Hildegard Hesse Research Grant winner \n  \nChelsi Marolf\nAnimals in temperate regions are facing changing environmental conditions\, including more frequent extreme weather events. Small temperate birds are highly flexible\, increasing their metabolic rates during prolonged exposure to cold winter temperatures. However\, the mechanisms underlying this flexibility remain incompletely understood. In this study\, I assessed whole-genome DNA methylation in house sparrows exposed to warm\, cold\, and fluctuating cold acclimation treatments. Because DNA methylation is an epigenetic marker that can influence gene expression\, I expected methylation patterns to differ between cold-exposed and warm-exposed birds. \nMore about the Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Population dynamics\, morphological change and conservation of an endemic island bird in the 21st century
DESCRIPTION:AOS Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: James Mouton\, Assistant Professor\, The Ohio State University; 2021 AOS Postdoctoral Research Grant winner \n  \n \nThe Island Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma insularis) is restricted to a single island\, making understanding its response to environmental change particularly important for its long-term conservation. I will explore how morphology and population dynamics have changed in recent years\, including evidence for selection during hotter years and population stability through severe drought\, and discuss what these patterns mean for conservation in the 21st century.
