2019 The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat
Spencer Keyser is a master’s student at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute. Using regional long-term data sets combined with local eld surveys, he will investigate how climate-driven changes in coastal vegetation (i.e. marsh-mangrove shifts) will impact bird community composition and food web interactions across the Gulf of Mexico. Keyser believes understanding
how climate and vegetation shifts impact bird assemblages is crucial to conserving and predicting changes in current avian biodiversity across the Gulf of Mexico.
