Noah Perlut publishes paper on songbird migration in biogeography journal

nperlutNoah Perlut, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Studies, co-authored a paper, “Phenological matching across hemispheres in a long-distance migratory bird,” 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.
