The Bird Genoscape Project with Dr. Kristen Ruegg

Did you know that an estimated 1 out of every 2 songbird populations are declining across the Western Hemisphere? Because migratory birds travel vast distances between breeding and wintering areas, understanding why populations are declining has been difficult. Dr. Kristen Ruegg is a professor at CSU and Co-director of the Bird Genoscape Project, which develops genoscapes to connect populations of concern across their full annual cycle. Come hear Kristen speak about this incredible project and how the resulting genoscapes can be used to target limited conservation resources where they are needed most.
