Hi everyone

Thursday, April 27, 2017 - Katie Studholme - The secret life of Rhinos: =
tracking a Pacific seabird

Time: 7:30PM - NS Museum of Natural History =96 1747 Summer Street =
Halifax

Non-breeding distributions remain unknown for many seabird species and =
links between their distributions, overwinter ecology, reproduction and =
survival are poorly understood despite their importance for marine =
management and conservation. To begin to address these knowledge gaps, I =
developed a research program using small, light-sensing loggers to track =
rhinoceros auklets from colonies throughout their breeding range in the =
Northeast Pacific. In this talk I will explain the driving questions =
behind my research and its applications, introduce you to my focal =
species, primary field sites, and techniques, and share some unexpected =
preliminary tracking results. There will, of course, be images and =
stories from the field throughout!

Katie Studholme is a PhD candidate in her fourth year at Dalhousie =
University, studying how the non-breeding distributions and =
environmental experiences of Pacific alcids affect their future =
reproduction and population processes. Prior to beginning graduate =
school, Katie worked for two years as a field technician in the =
Galapagos Islands, coastal Maryland, Kodiak Alaska, and the Florida =
Everglades.

Lower Auditorium, NS Museum of Natural History =96 Please stay for =
refreshments after the talk.=20

NSBS Monthly Talk - Please note, we are going to attempt to broadcast =
this talk using Facebook Live on Thursday and you should be able to view =
the talk starting approximately at 7:40PM right from the Nova Scotia =
Bird Society=92s Facebook page if we are successful. This is a first for =
us so bound to find a glitch along the way.
