Two recent Colorado State University studies used weather radar to track the movements of aerial insectivores and explore how their patterns have changed over the past 20 years. They examined changes in the birds’ roosting habits to try to determine why the species are declining.
A recent study by a transdisciplinary research team led by Colorado State University found ample evidence of the negative effects of light pollution on migrating animals and a need for more data to help protect them.
The inaugural event of the Warner College Dean’s Distinguished Lecture Series, Further Together, delighted a sold-out crowd on Monday, Dec. 5 as more than 80 people filled Avogadro’s Number in Fort Collins to hear CSU 2022 Distinguished Alumna, Cindy Williams, speak about her role as a co-lead for Envision Chaffee County.
“When I decided to come back to school for a science degree, I was nervous about not understanding the material. I worked really hard, asked a lot of questions and excelled in the general science courses. I’m proud of myself for the work I put into this degree.”
Warner College of Natural Resources’ 2022 Distinguished Alumna, Cindy Williams, will be the inaugural speaker in the college’s new lecture series, Further Together, on Dec. 5.
The National Audubon Society released a new interactive platform, called the Bird Migration Explorer, after collaborations with the Bird Genoscape Project. Much of the collaboration for this project has been primarily focused on data that the Bird Genoscape Project has collected.
Graduate student Nelson Mwangi was recently awarded support from the Wildlife Conservation Network Scholarship program.
A study out of Colorado State University in conjunction with the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Forest Service is one of the first to use genetics to understand how interbasin water transfers affect connectivity between previously isolated watersheds and how that connectivity can impact trout diversity.
Habitat fragmentation is a pervasive threat to biodiversity in aquatic habitats. A recent CSU study examined the dynamics of two Japanese land-locked salmonid populations in a highly fragmented stream in central Japan. The findings have implications for Colorado trout.
Thanks to an innovative new migration dashboard, predicting which mornings will be birdy has never been easier—or more fun.
