nperlutNoah Perlut, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Studies, co-authored an article, “Phenological matching across hemispheres in a long-distance migratory bird,” that was recently published in the August issue of Diversity and Distributions:  A Journal of Conservation Biogeography.

The article discusses the researchers’ study of bobolink migration using new tracking technology called light-level geolocation, which allows scientists to track the movements of small animals over their full life cycle.

Bobolinks from Vermont, Nebraska and Oregon were tracked to assess the strength of their migratory connectivity, patterns of movement and the ecological factors that govern movements.
