Mundinger Lecture: Mapping Migratory Routes with Feathers November 13 at 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm Half of the songbird species of the Western Hemisphere are in decline, including migratory birds that travel vast distances between breeding and wintering areas. The Bird Genoscape Project, a collaborative effort by scientists from across the Western Hemisphere, seeks to map the migratory routes of songbirds using genetic tools to help reverse population declines. The lecture will be delivered by Dr. Kristin Ruegg from Colorado State University. Learn how feathers and DNA are used to build the next frontier of bird conservation at the 2024 Paul C. Mundinger Distinguished Lectureship presented by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The lecture is free and open to the public. This is an in-person and virtual event. The Mundinger lecture is being held in room B25, Warren Hall, on the Cornell University campus. Parking is free after 5 p.m.<https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home/event/mundinger-lecture-understanding-neotropical-migratory-bird-population-declines/> You can join virtually: https://cornell.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ao9SYGM3TwuN6RAUofu0oA#/registration
