SUMMARY:Mapping vertical distributions of birds in old-growth and second-growth trees at the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nPresenter: Nina Ferrari\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Oregon State University; 2023 Werner and Hildegard Hesse Research Grant winner \n\nI will revisit some of Robert MacArthur’s questions around vertical partition as a mechanism for species coexistence in forests. Specifically\, my research investigates the vertical distributions of songbirds in trees in the Pacific Northwest. I use territory mapping playback and bioacoustics methodologies to examine the degree vertical partitioning in this ecosystem and the potential drivers behind it. \nMore about the Student Research Grant Seminar Series

SUMMARY:Effects of Extreme Temperatures on Resource Selection and Nestling Diet of American Kestrels in Agroecosystems
DESCRIPTION:AOS Student Research Grant Seminar\nThis event is postponed. \nPresenter: Mary Badger\, PhD candidate\, University of California Davis; 2024 Joseph Grinnell Research Grant winner \n \nExtreme heat driven by climate change poses a growing challenge for birds breeding in agricultural landscapes. This research examines how extreme temperatures and land use interact to shape resource selection\, movement\, nestling provisioning\, and diet in breeding American kestrels. Integrating GPS tracking\, nest box monitoring\, fine-scale temperature measurements\, and environmental DNA allows adult behavior\, space use\, and nestling diet to be evaluated across varying thermal and landscape conditions. \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
