During the summer in the north woods, a diverse mix of breeding residents and migratory birds fills the air with song. It is easy to forget that these bird communities come together only for a short time of the year to breed, and the majority of the year they live in vastly different places. Dr. Pegan studies the long-term evolutionary consequences of migration length on boreal birds. Join Dr. Pegan for a fascinating webinar exploring the intersection of migratory strategies, bird genomes, and evolutionary history in our bird communities.
