2015 The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat
Bik D. R. Wheeler is a Master’s candidate at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine. His thesis project is entitled “Spruce wood-warbler use of forest structure: Revisiting Robert MacArthur’s study of niche partitioning.” In the mid 1950’s Robert MacArthur conducted the seminal research on warbler niche partitioning, similar species of warblers coexisting through specialization in their foraging areas. Bik is repeating this ecological study at the original location, in Acadia National Park, to reexamine the theory, with modern research methods, after 60 years of environmental change.
