Dr. Morgan Tingley is a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of California, Los Angeles. He can discuss topics including:

  • How changes in the timing of seasons are altering when birds migrate, breed, and find food;
  • What research shows about the risks of birds arriving too early or too late to their habitats;
  • Which bird species are shifting their migration schedules, and which are struggling to adapt; and
  • What people and communities can do to help migratory birds adapt to climate change
