The Rise and Fall of the Rosy-Finches: A Climate Change Story @ Zoom Online

Rosy-finches are high elevation and high latitude specialist birds that are found broadly across western North America. Research has demonstrated that human-induced climate change is more extreme in high latitude and high altitude environments. The rapid changes occurring across the ranges of the three North American rosy-finch species have led to their listing as species of conservation concern. Garth Spellman, Curator of Ornithology at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, will discuss recent collaborative research efforts to understand the origin and life history of these enigmatic species, and work aimed at understanding how the birds are responding to climate change from the genetic level to the landscape level.
