Vale is a Research Scientist at CONICET and faculty at the Universidad de Buenos Aires. Her research centers on understanding evolutionary diversification of life-history strategies in birds. She is interested in life-history variation across levels of organization that bridge different temporal and spatial scales. The questions she asks explore the interface between ecology, behavior, morphology and evolution of mating systems and breeding biology. At present, she is studying variation in behavioral, morphological, and genetic traits associated with mate choice in Tachycineta swallows.

Reed Bowman is the Research Program Director for Avian Ecology at Archbold Biological Station. Over the last 25 years he has studied the behavioral ecology, population biology, and conservation of several threatened and endangered birds, including the White-crowned Pigeon, the Red-cockaded Woodpecker, and the Florida Scrub-Jay. One of his primary interests is the many affects, both locally and worldwide, of increasing urbanization on birds, focusing on understanding many of these anthropogenic ecological changes and their impact on birds at a variety of scales, from physiological and behavioral responses to population and community responses. His lab uses a combination of longitudinal, observational studies and controlled experiments to identify how genetic, phenotypic and environmental parameters shape fitness landscapes over space and time. He is an author on more than 80 scientific papers and book chapters, co-editor of two books, and co-author of one book, “Florida Bird Species”.

email: mhauber@illinois.edu
Dr. Hauber’ lab in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior at the School of Integrative Biology of the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, focuses on the evolution of recognition systems. Shifting gears between behavioral, developmental, physiological, and molecular tools, his lab studies the social and genetic consequences of species recognition in avian brood parasites, such as cuckoos, cowbirds, and whydahs, and their hosts. Obligate brood parasitism in birds provides an exciting model system for the evolution of social behaviors because, unlike 99% of bird species, they lay their eggs into nests of other species and are reared by foster parents. Several other projects in the lab tap into national and international collaborations throughout the world of birds, including the unique and often endangered sea- and shorebird fauna of New Zealand, as well as mammals, spiders, and other organisms from around the globe.

email: iausprey@ufl.edu
Ian’s doctoral research explored the patterns and processes shaping avian community assembly and genetic connectivity in fragmented high elevation cloud forests of the Peruvian Andes. Much of his work is based in rural campesino communities where he communicates his science via environmental education and outreach programs. Ian has participated in avian field research throughout the United States and Latin America, including stints in Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru. His M.S. research (2010) examined avian post-fledging ecology in urban landscapes. He then worked with Klamath Bird Observatory as a Research Biologist, conducting analyses of bird distributions to inform land management and collaborating with governmental partners to launch the bird monitoring component of the Trinity River Restoration Project in northern California.
Ian is Chair of the Evaluation Committee of the North American Banding Council, where he develops policies for NABC’s professional certification program. He is currently facilitating a small grants initiative funded by AFO that supports Latin American and Caribbean biologists wishing to obtain NABC certification. He has trained or certified over 120 biologists in bird banding techniques during workshops in the USA, Canada, Mexico, El Salvador, and Peru.

Dr. Brasso is an Assistant Professor of urban ecology in the Zoology Department at Weber State University. Her research primarily involves using songbirds as biomonitors of heavy metal contamination across terrestrial, aquatic, and marine food webs. She is particularly interested in the variation in local environmental conditions and food web interactions that drive the risk of exposure to harmful concentrations of metals. Her master’s research used Tree Swallows as biomonitors of mercury (Hg) availability along the contaminated South River, VA, while her PhD research used Pygoscelis penguins as biomonitors of Hg in the Antarctic marine food web. During her time as an assistant professor at Southeast Missouri State University she completed a multi-year project investigating the effects of legacy lead (Pb) contamination on breeding songbirds in the Southeast Missouri Mining District. Now in Ogden, Utah, Dr. Brasso continues to use songbirds, and more recently spiders, to track local and regional-scale variation in Hg exposure in wetland ecosystems.

Dr. Londoño is an Associate Professor of Ecological Physiology and Animal Behavior in the Biology Department at Icesi University, Cali-Colombia. His research primarily involves birds as model organism to understand the factors that limits animal’s elevational distribution in the Andean mountains. He is particularly interested in the relative importance of biotic (e.g., predation, parasitism) and abiotic (e.g., temperature, rainfall) shaping species limits and life history strategies throughout the mountain ranges. His master’s research used Northern Mockingbird to understand the relative importance of food availability and heat on incubation behavior and embryonic development. His PhD explored how temperature and nest predation affected the life history strategies of nesting birds along a 2600m elevational gradient in Southwestern Peru. For his Postdoctoral research at University of California-Riverside he evaluated the effect of temperature and oxygen partial pressure on avian metabolic rate. During his time as an Associate Professor at Icesi Univeristy, he established a long-term bird mark recapture project on a 1500m elevational gradient and two additional sites. Simultaneously, he is conducting physiological, ecological and behavioral projects on invertebrates and vertebrates with the aim to understand the biotic and abiotic factors that constraint their elevational distribution.
