2017 The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat
Anna Tucker is a PhD candidate at Auburn University in Alabama. Her project is titled “A Network Theory Approach to Evaluate Drivers of Stopover Site Use by Migratory Shorebirds.” Her research provides a better understanding of the ecological factors that influence movement patterns and space use during spring migration in Delaware Bay, a globally important stopover site for Arcticbreeding migratory shorebirds. By using a network theory approach to quantify dynamic movement patterns, she will evaluate the effect of factors, including habitat characteristics, food abundance, and predation pressure on those patterns over the past 12 years.

To provide financial aid to study areas in the United States that provide seasonal habitat for threatened or endangered native birds and to tend useful information for land-management decisions.
