Major migration of bird experts flock to Vancouver
Date:8/9/2012

tchbury, York U., bstutch@yorku.ca
Each fall, billions of songbirds leave Canada on an epic journey to their far-away wintering grounds in tropical Central and South America. Using cutting edge technology such as geolocators and stable isotopes, scientists are now able to track intercontinental migration of small birds to understand where they go and how their movements respond to the changing climate.

"Constructing and dating the evolutionary tree of all birds". 13 Aug., 1:30 pm, Hennings 200. Jeff Joy, Simon Fraser U., jbjoy@sfu.ca
An international team will present for the first time a visualization of the family tree among every single species of bird in the world (~10,000 species), forming the foundation of many future comparative, evolutionary, and ecological studies in avian biology.

Impacts of off-shore wind-farms on birds. Symposium 15 Aug., 1:30-3:00 pm, Hennings 202. Scott McWilliams, U. Rhode Island, srmcwilliams@uri.edu
Off-shore wind farms have proliferated in Europe over the past decade and a number of large-scale projects are in the final stages of approval in the USA. Leading scientists from Europe and North America will discuss the impacts of these facilities on birds.

"Status of Gavia: conservation in black and white". Workshop 14 Aug., 1:00-4:00 pm, Buchanan B213. James Paruk & Jay Mager, Ohio Northern U., j-mager@onu.edu
A Canadian icon, loons occupy a place high on the food chain and act as sentinels of the environmental health of our lakes. Leading scientists and management groups will identify the most significant threats to loon populations and the most effective tools that will be needed to conserve, manage and restore them.

"Avian disease ecology: from the individual to the landscape". Symposium 18 Aug., 1:30-3:00 pm, Hennings 201. Jen
