Webinar Summary:
Learn the latest on Golden-cheeked Warblers.
Webinar Description:
The endangered Golden-cheeked Warbler is a prized sentinel of Texas natural history and an emblem of Hill Country heritage. Over its documented history, various tools and approaches have been used to determine its abundance, make management determinations, and assess the success of conservation practices. Since the species’ protection began, intensive management practices have helped increase the numbers of Golden-cheeked Warblers.
As the current habitat range continues to experience increased urbanization and land conversion, there is a continuing need for understanding the status of remaining populations. In 2011, Dr. Athrey published a genetic study documenting a steep genetic decline over the prior century, presumably resulting from the massive landscape change.
With the upcoming species assessment, the speaker and colleagues have undertaken a new study to revisit the genetic status of the species to determine how the populations are faring, and how this information can inform future management decisions. He will be presenting new insights into the genetics of the Golden-cheeked Warbler.
