| Marshall J. Iliff | Ph.D. expected 2018 | Marshall is a core staff member of eBird, and he joined my lab as an Employee-Degree student in the fall of 2013. Marshall has an encyclopedic and fine-scaled knowledge of bird distributions, and he is interested in melding the mush-rooming eBird knowledge base with basic biological work on bird migration to better understand the causes and consequences of avian vagrancy. |
| C. Justin Proctor | M.S. expected 2014 | Justin joined my lab as a Natural Resources grad student after many years as a stalwart intern, then staff member, of the Golondrinas de las Americas project. He is conducting a joint science/community conservation study of the Golden Swallow in the mountains of the Dominica Republic. |
| J. Ryan Shipley | Ph.D. expected 2017 | Ryan joined my lab after doing a Master's with Jeff Kelly at the University of Oklahoma. An expert on bat biology and ecology, Ryan is stretching his interests into a broad comparative study of the physiological ecology of life history variation among all vertebrate aerial insectivores. |
| Facundo Gandoy | Ph.D. expected 2018 | (Universidad de Salta, Argentina) |
| David Chang van Oordt | Ph.D. expected 2022 | David Chang van Oordt joined my lab from la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia in Lima, Peru, where he developed a working knowledge and interest in the birds in the nearby coastal lomas and in lowland forest near Manú. David is interested in bird movements and how the movements of birds affect their qualities as vectors of malaria. |
| Jennifer Uehling | Ph.D. expected 2022 | Jennifer Uehling joined my lab from the University of Chicago where she did work with Steve Pruett-Jones on the distributions of introduced parrots in the US and on fairy wrens in Australia. Jenny is interested din the movements of birds, especially as they relate to dynamic habitat conditions, and she is interested in combining empirical and quantitative approaches in their study. |
