2019 The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat
Kathryn Grabenstein is a PhD candidate at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Overall, her work explores the patterns that urban green spaces appear to change. Combining eld studies and genomic approaches, Grabenstein investigates how gardens and backyards modify the interactions between chickadees to promote hybridization. She is also establishing a long-term study titled the Boulder Chickadee Study, as an experimental framework to address this question. Results from this work will provide insight into how the interactions between species are altered in a rapidly changing world.
