Noah Perlut publishes paper on songbird migration in biogeography journal
Noah Perlut, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Studies, co-authored a paper, 鈥淧henological matching across hemispheres in a long-distance migratory bird,鈥 which was recently published in Diversity and Distributions: A Journal of Conservation Biogeography.
The study on which the paper is based was one of only a few to use geolocators to track the annual migrations of individual songbirds. It was the first to track a species migration across its entire breeding distribution. Furthermore, the paper is the first to explain the ecological processes influencing the timing and extent of migration into the Southern Hemisphere.
