Comments: AT21-403 Webinar Sensory Pollution in the Anthropocene: Effects of Light and Noise Pollution on Birds in the “Age of Humans”, Presenter: Jennifer Phillips (AT=1h)
Webinar Date: 8/25/2021
Webinar Time: 6:30p-8:00p
Event Summary:
Can birds adapt to artificial light and human created changes to their world.
Event Description:
Birds evolved in a world without artificial light and with only the sounds of nature. Today, they are challenged by the lighting and sounds produced by an array of human activity, including right here in San Antonio. Whether birds can adapt to these human-created changes sufficiently to survive in the long run is an open question.
Dr. Jennifer Phillips will discuss her research on how urban noise affects communication in a model species, the White-crowned Sparrow. She will also discuss how we can move from single species studies to better understand the effects of light and noise pollution on avian populations and communities, using her study system of nesting birds in northern New Mexico.
