SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Climate Change and North American Avian Communities: Presented by Shannon Curley
DESCRIPTION:This meeting will take place inside the Prospect Park Zoo in the C-classroom. Please ensure you are on time\, doors open at 6:45pm and you must enter through the service gate on Flatbush Avenue. \nThis talk will present the research collectively being done at College of Staten Island. \nPart 1: Evaluating changes in North American avian communities\nThe first part of this talk we discuss how birds have responded to recent climate change\nand how\, as a result\, avian community composition has changed in the northeastern United\nStates. We highlight how historically southern-distributed species have shifted into more\nnortherly locations. Further\, we will discuss how these changes in distributions translate to our\nobservations as birders. \nPart 2: Grassland Birds at Freshkills Park\nIn the second part of this talk\, we will discuss the ongoing research at Freshkills Park\,\nStaten Island\, New York. Freshkills Park is ~890-hectares of reclaimed land within the New\nYork City Parks system that was established on what once the largest landfill in the world. The\nPark now hosts expansive native grasslands. Temperate grasslands are among the most globally\nendangered biomes\, suffering from both habitat loss and lack of protection. Consequently\,\ngrassland birds are among the most dramatically declining avian species groups in North\nAmerica. This summer\, researchers from College of Staten Island completed their fourth year of\nMonitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship (MAPS) bird banding at Freshkills Park\, and\nGrassland Breeding Bird surveys. We present our research highlights and outline future plans. \nShannon Curley is a recent graduate of the CUNY Graduate Center. Her research focuses on\nchanges in species distributions and community composition as a result of climate change. She is\nalso actively involved in the ongoing research at Freshkills park\, conducting grassland bird\nsurveys and assisting with bird banding operations. \n
