E-Nouncements - September 11, 2020

Scott Yanco, PhD candidate in the Michael Wunder lab, won the prestigious A. Brazier Howell Award last month for his presentation “Niche dynamics and ecological drivers of migration in an insectivorous owl”. Scott presented his work remotely at the North American Ornithological Conference, a quadrennial congregation of 9 professional ornithological societies from the Americas, originally scheduled to be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Scott’s research addresses competing hypotheses about how seasonal migrations in birds emerged by evaluating satellite-derived habitat data and owl migration data from GPS tags affixed to individual owls that migrate between forests across western North America and those in south-central Mexico. The project is part of the Migratory Connectivity Project with the Smithsonian Institute and was done in collaboration with Drs. Brian Linkhart (Colorado College), Peter Marra (Georgetown University) and Michael Wunder (UC Denver).
