Animal movement in a changing world
Benjamin Van Doren studies the responses of migratory birds to environmental change. His research spans spatial and population scales and unites ecology, evolution, behavior, and conservation. Dr. Van Doren earned a PhD in Zoology from Oxford University, and he has received achievement awards from the American Ornithological Society, Linnean Society of London, and Zoological Society of London. In this talk, he will focus on how light pollution and human-dominated landscapes influence migrants’ ecology and behavior, and how migratory birds adapt to change via both plasticity and evolution. He will also discuss how new machine learning techniques and modeling approaches are pushing ecology forward while facilitating opportunities for conservation action.
Host: Dr. Mark Hay
