As usual, students in my lab have been busy with many projects. One that has taken off recently is our NSF-funded urban food webs project, which generally explores relationships between native/nonnative oaks, insects, and birds right on our LA campus. A fun project with long-term data potential!

Just back from an epic week in Brazil working to set up our study looking at the vertical distribution of insects in the Amazon rainforest (and surrounding landuses, including fragmented forest and urban). Loads of cool birds, insects, food, and great times with our Brazilian colleagues.

I am happy to share our new monograph on redlining, birds, their habitat, and people in Los Angeles just out in Ornithological Applications (see link - please DM if you're unable to access it)

Please see the infographic below (by KAPdesign) for further details.
