Audubon Afternoon: “Climate Change and its Effect on Food for Migrating Birds”

 With Amanda Gallinat

 Dr. Amanda Gallinat is an ecologist who studies how environmental change affects plants, birds and their interactions. Her recent research focuses on the effects of climate change on the timing of seasonal biological events in the northeast, including fruit ripening and bird migration, and how these climate-driven changes alter food availability for birds in autumn. Amanda's research incorporates the historical field notes of Henry David  Thoreau, long-term bird banding records, museum specimens and field observations. Her work has been featured by National Audubon, The Wildlife Society and American Scientist. Amanda has a B.A. from Carleton College and a PhD from Boston University. She is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at Utah State University.
