Beginning with a comparison of two widely-used bird monitoring datasets, I identify and quantify biases in reporting rates. Next, I use the data to understand how winter climate and food availability influence bird movements and distributions. Finally, I demonstrate a novel modeling framework that expands the utility of joint species distribution models and apply it to the dynamics of a brood parasite and its host species. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us next Tuesday, Lane will present her public PhD seminar entitled: \u201cThe effects of global change on avian biodiversity\u201d 3:30 pm, April 18&nbsp; Field Auditorium Reception follows on&nbsp;Grainger Hall roof.
