This lab is jointly led by Drs. Andrea and Melissa Grunst. We are interested in applying behavioral ecology and avian ecophysiology to the conservation of birds, especially in the context of global change biology.

 

Graduate Students:

Sam Clay (MS): Joint effects of mercury contamination and

climate on red-legged kittiwake foraging behavior and fitness

on St. George Island Alaska.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jackson Kinder (MS): Effects of anthropogenic

noise pollution on incubation behavior and nest

success in song sparrows.
