Tracking the birds and the bees to conserve these: using movement data to inform conservation actions
Summary: To effectively conserve species, it is important to understand what is threatening populations and how to mitigate these impacts. Movement data collected by tracking individuals allows us to detect changes in the behaviour or habitat selection of species when exposed to different threats or management actions, as well as to identify priority areas for conservation. Using tracking data for birds and bees, I will 1) explore the impacts of different environmental stressors and management interventions on bumble bee behaviour and habitat selection, and 2) identify priority areas for conserving migratory birds in the Great Lakes region. These research findings have important implications for how to best conserve these imperiled taxonomic groups.
