SUMMARY:Dr. Erica Nol
DESCRIPTION:How well do songbirds compete with humans for habitat? Reflections on 20 years of research.



Dr. Erica Nol, Biology Department and Conservation and Ecology Group, Trent University



Friday, April 4th – 3:30PM – CTTC 4440Q



Host: Thomas Hossie, Biology Seminar Committee



Ecology • Songbirds • Anthropogenic Impacts 



Humans compete with songbirds for habitat. For most humans, this affects their daily lives not at all. This lack of cognizance of our impact on birds comes in part, because generalist and invasive species seem to do fine, and are mostly able to live out their lives successfully despite us. I report on studies from my lab over the last two decades that have examined a variety of anthropogenic impacts on songbird populations. There is some good news, and some, not surprisingly, not so good. I will try to focus on the good news stories and pose some questions for potential future directions.
