BROOKE'S WINDOW STRIKE PROJECT FEATURED
For several years, lab member Brooke Goodman has been coordinating efforts on the SUNY Oswego campus to research, document, and prevent bird window strikes. Her had work has resulted in several windows being retrofitted with bird deterrents. Thank you Brooke for volunteering your time to help make the campus safer for birds!

NEW PAPER IN WILSON JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY
Led by SUNY Oswego undergrads Haley Bedell, Kristie Drzewiecki, Brooke Goodman, Mya Mills, and Denis Ramos; our cardinal urban ecology paper was selected as the frontispiece in the Wilson Journal of Ornithology! We analyzed visual signals of urban vs rural males and females and found urban birds had enhanced signals. This could be due to the prevalence of exotic plants like honeysuckles in urban areas. Some honeysuckles contain red carotenoids that cardinals could easily deposit in their feathers and bills to produce boosted signals, even while suffering potential health costs of living in cities. Check the Twitter thread for more info.

EXPOSING PREDATORY JOURNALS
Predatory journals are money-making scams that offer to publish papers for a fee, but don't subject the papers to any sort of peer review. If you're a scientist, you'll be familiar with these scams- you probably have ten emails from them in your spam folder right now. In order to bring attention to this issue and make the point that we should not trust anything published in these journals, I submitted a manuscript entitled "What's the deal with birds?" with the following abstract:
Many people wonder: what’s the deal with birds? This is a common query. Birds are pretty weird. I mean, they have feathers. WTF? Most other animals don’t have feathers. To investigate this issue, I looked at some birds. I looked at a woodpecker, a parrot, and a penguin. They were all pretty weird! In conclusion, we may never know the deal with birds, but further study is warranted.
I documented the entire saga on Twitter, which ultimately culminated in the paper being published (eventually the "journal" got wise and removed the paper from their website, see PDF below), going viral on social media, and being covered by a few media outlets (below). I'm glad so many people found the paper humorous, but also got a window into the sketchy world of predatory journals. I hope by brining attention to this issue, fewer people will be tricked into publishing in them, and we will all be appropriately skeptical of what we read online!

NEW PAPER ON THE COVER OF THE AUK
During my postdoc with Christie Riehl at Princeton University I studied itinerant breeding in the Phainopepla. This paper summarizes our results: 1) Phainopeplas tracked with GPS tags move between desert and woodland breeding habitats in the same year, 2) population genomics show no genetic structure among desert and woodland populations, and 3) random forest analyses identify unique environmental conditions experienced by birds in these two breeding habitats as well as stopover sites. Many thanks to my great coauthors!

COLLABORATIVE PAPER ON VAMPIRE FINCH MICROBIOME
Alice Michel and Lewis Ward at Cal Tech led the way on a very cool paper analyzing the gut microbiome of 12 species of Darwin's finches, including the vampire finch. The vampire finch gut is home to several bacteria that are absent or very rare in other finch species, but found in other carnivorous species. These results support the idea that a suite of physiological adaptations have allowed the vampire finch to capitalize on this bizarre food resource.

NEW POSTDOC POSITION ACCEPTED
On July 1 I will be starting a new postdoc with Christie Riehl at Princeton University. I am really excited about this opportunity. The plan is to work on phenotypic plasticity in the phainopepla, a really bizarre bird that breeds in two completely different physical and social environments in the southwestern USA.

NEW PAPER OUT IN BIOLOGY LETTERS
Red-backed fairy-wrens are known for their extremely promiscuous mating system. This means males often raise offspring that are not their own. We hypothesized that two prominent behaviors that vary among males - physical aggression and duetting - could be used to help a male maintain paternity. Aggression might keep rivals away from the female, and duetting might be used to signal commitment or mate guard. We found that aggression did not impact male paternity, but males with strong duet responses were best able to maintain paternity in their nests. This is the first study to directly demonstrate that duetting can lead to increased paternity assurance. This is good evidence that birds may use vocal communication to mediate extra-pair mating decisions. Big thanks to coauthors Emma Greig and Mike Webster!

PAPER ON THE COVER OF EVOLUTION
My final dissertation chapter analyzing how male response to multimodal signals relates to differential introgression across the red-backed fairy-wren hybrid zone just made the cover of Evolution! Emma Greig and Mike Webster are my intrepid coauthors on this one. Big thanks especially to Emma who took the lead on this. We found that males did not distinguish between red and orange mount colors, but responded most strongly to the local song type. These results suggest that song can serve as a barrier to gene flow between subspecies, but that the observed introgression of red plumage into the orange subspecies must be driven by something other than male-male interactions (likely female preference for red). This study also highlights the importance of measuring behavioral responses to multiple signals simultaneously.

SUCCESSFUL GALÁPAGOS FIELD SEASON
I spent six weeks in the Galápagos collecting data for my postdoctoral research project on blood feeding in the vampire finch. The Galápagos are a crazy place to work- the landscape is harsh and rugged and logistical difficulties abound. Nonetheless, I managed to catch plenty of finches on some spectacular remote islands. Check out the photos section for some images from the trip. Now to analyze the data!

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP RECEIVED
I was awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology to study the molecular, ecological, and behavioral function of blood-feeding in the vampire finch. The vampire finch is one of the Darwin's finches endemic to the Galápagos Islands. Certain subspecies attack seabirds and drink their blood. My research will investigate why they do this and whether they have evolved physiological adaptations similar to other blood-feeding animals like vampire bats, mosquitos, and ticks. I will be joining Dr. Al Uy's lab at the University of Miami to conduct this research.
