2018 The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat
Martha Wohlfeil is a PhD candidate at the University of California, Davis, studying avian biogeography in the Great Basin, the largest area of contiguous watersheds in North America. Her project, titled “Potential Mechanisms of Within- Season Elevational Movement of Passerine Species,” identifies a novel pattern of upslope movement in some bird species and aims to better understand why this does or does not occur. Also studying how avian flight patterns have changed over the past two decades, Wohlfeil hopes her work will aid avian conservation efforts.
