Seeking avian experts to understand wildlife vulnerability

[KateMarkham]

Anthropogenic night light and noise are globally pervasive forms of environmental pollution. They are increasingly changing ecosystems with important implications for biodiversity. Please help us understand how these sensory stimuli affect wildlife by participating in this survey. 

This survey is a crucial part of a NASA-funded project led by Boise State University, and your input will help us inform conservation decision-making by understanding how select biological traits affect vertebrate species’ vulnerability to anthropogenic night light and noise. 

We are looking for a diverse range of participants from academia, governmental agencies, nonprofits, etc. studying or working with vertebrates from across the globe to complete this survey. We believe many Ornithology Exchange members would be suitable for this survey and we hope ornithologists will be well-represented in our results. We estimate the survey will take around 15 minutes to complete.

We apologize for any cross-postings. Thank you for helping us understand how anthropogenic night light and noise affect wildlife, and please share with those you feel may be interested.
