Amazing Adaptations: How Birds Cope with Hardship

Speaker:

Jamie Cornelius

Assistant Professor

Department of Integrative Biology

Dr. Cornelius and her lab study behavioral and physiological strategies that birds use to cope with unpredictable change. In other words, why do some birds survive better than others when the going gets tough? She’ll describe field and lab experiments that help us understand their needs and what strategies might help them to cope with global change. While many talks centered on climate change can fill you with doom and gloom, this one just might give you reason to hope that mother nature has some tricks up her sleeve.
