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

SUMMARY:Latin American/Caribbean Conservation Research Grant Preparation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The AOS Conservation Committee sponsors a grants program to support early-career scientists from Latin America and the Caribbean conducting conservation-related research on either migratory or resident birds in those regions. \nNEW in 2026! Online (optional) grant preparation workshop for applicants. \nWe will provide (in Spanish and English) guidelines for application\, share successful grant writing tips and project expectations from the evaluation committee\, and answer any questions about the process. \nGrant amount: Grants (N6) of up to $5\,000 USD each \nABOUT THIS GRANT

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: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: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
