1/🧵

I'm about #BOUasm26 today discussing how species traits (temperature niche position, habitat selectivity, urban association) shape avian populations.

In my study system in North Carolina, we've been monitoring bird populations with a mini breeding bird survey since 1999.

#ornithology #Ecology

The three questions I will address are: 1. How are bird populations changing in this landscape? 2. How are species responding to urbanization in the short and long term? 3. Is this landscape-population change relationship shaped by species traits?

Now joining us online is Radhika Jha with her talk „Global habitat suitability and conservation priorities for vultures under a changing climate“ #BOUasm26 #ornithology
