Welcome to Tucson!
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee and the Meetings
Coordination Committee, I welcome you to the 136th meeting of
American Ornithology. We hope that you have a wonderful time here in
the Sonoran Desert. We want you to enjoy the meetings…learn in-depth
about a new topic, talk to a scientist whom you’ve been wanting to meet,
share your knowledge and love of birds, see a new species, and have a
great deal of fun.
We have invited Dr. Stephen and Ruth Russell to be Honorary
Co-chairs for this meeting. The special symposium on “Forty years
of finding birds in southeastern Arizona” (Thursday from 6 - 7:30 pm)
honors the Russells, their work on southeastern Arizona birds, and their
contributions to American ornithology.
Program highlights include a keynote address by Dr. H. Ronald Pulliam, five intriguing plenary talks, 15 symposia
on a diversity of topics, five workshops, two evening poster sessions, three roundtable discussions, 16 field trips, the
All-out Ostrich Scramble, and the banquet and bird jam on Saturday night. Don’t miss the binational symposium
on “Desert birds in peril: research and conservation challenges in northern Mexico and the southwestern United
States,” emphasizing the theme of the conference, Celebrating connections: birds across borders. Please enjoy
networking and discussing science during the many special events for students, early professionals, and other
groups.
Thanks so much for coming to this meeting. We are delighted that you are here and look forward to seeing you
again or meeting you for the first time!

Title: On the diversity, coexistence and
conservation of grassland sparrows
Tuesday evening, 10 April 2018 at 7 pm, Presidio Ballroom
Dr. Pulliam’s talk will weave the AOS 2018 meeting
theme together with perspectives from ecological theory,
empirical field studies, and the pressing conservation
issues of our time.
Biography: Ronald Pulliam is Regents Professor
Emeritus in the Odum School of Ecology at the
University of Georgia. His former positions include Presi-
dent of the Ecological Society of America, Director of the
National Biological Service, Science Adviser to the Sec-
retary of Interior, and Director of the Institute of Ecology.
His scientific writings have been widely cited, totalling >
20,000 times, including more than 5,000 citations of his
book on “Sources, sinks, and population regulation”. He
has served on numerous boards and commissions, as an
adviser to several major philanthropic foundations, and as
chairman of the board of NatureServe. He currently lives
in Patagonia, Arizona where he helped found Borderlands
Restoration, LLC and Wildlife Corridors, LLC. Border-
lands Restoration is committed to connecting wildlife,
land, and people in the Arizona/Sonora borderlands through the restoration of functional landscape processes while
forging and maintaining bonds between people and the natural world.
Tucson, Arizona 16 www.amornithmeeting2018.orgDon’t Miss The 2018 Plenary Talks!
Please join us each morning in Presidio III-V to hear the five stellar plenary speakers describe their integrative
research related to our meeting theme: Celebrating Connections: Birds Across Borders. This theme is multi-faceted
and bridges all the major science that unites us as ornithologists …. from evolution of species’ ranges and hybrid
zones, to dispersal and migration ecology, to conservation issues that span geographic areas from urban to rural,
from temperate to tropical. And please stay for the awards presentations after the talks!
Wednesday plenary at 8 am in Presidio Ballroom:
Dr. Jeff Brawn, University of Illinois
Title: Prospects for tropical
birds and a changing world
Biography: Jeff Brawn is Professor and Head of the
Department of Natural Resources and Environmental
Sciences at the University of Illinois. Jeff received a
B.S. in Wildlife Biology from the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst (1975), an M.S. in Wildlife
from the University of Missouri (1979), and a Ph.D. in
Zoology-Ecology from Northern Arizona University
(1985). Jeff’s graduate research focused on the
population biology of cavity nesting birds. After two
postdoctoral positions with the Smithsonian Tropical
Research Institute (STRI), he joined the scientific staff
of the Illinois Natural History Survey and later the
faculty of the University of Illinois. Jeff is an
elected Fellow of the AOS and the American
Association for the Advancement of Science. He has
served on numerous service committees and editorial
boards of ornithological societies and was Treasurer of
the AOU from 2004-2008. He has conducted research
in the Midwestern U.S. habitat fragmentation and the
local diversity of birds, prescribed fire and avian
populations, the role of birds in the transmission
dynamics of West Nile Virus, and the effects of
agricultural practices on the sustainability of bird populations. Dr. Brawn has worked in the Republic of Panama for
over 30 years where – in collaboration with STRI, grad students and colleagues – he has studied the demography,
life histories, and behavior of tropical forest birds. Recently, Jeff has explored relationships among expected climate
change, especially altered precipitation regimes, land use practices, and the viability of tropical bird populations.

Thursday plenary at 8 am in Presidio Ballroom:
Dr. Rebecca Kimball, University of Florida
Title: The avian tree of life: crossing the borders among disciplines
Biography:
Rebecca Kimball is a
Professor in the Department
of Biology at the University of
Florida. She received her B.A.
in Biology from Dartmouth
College (1985), and Ph.D.
from the University of New
Mexico (1995). She conducted
postdoctoral research at the
University of New Mexico
and Ohio State University
before joining the faculty at
the University of Florida in
2001, where she also is affiliat-
ed with the School of Natural
Resources and the Environ-
ment, the Genetics Institute,
the Center for Smell and Taste,
and the Florida Museum of
Natural History. Rebecca is an
evolutionary biologist with a
research program that incorporates both field studies and molecular analyses to examine evolutionary patterns and
processes. Many of her current projects are focused on estimating avian phylogenies both within specific groups as
well as across all birds, where her primary interest is in understanding trait evolution. She also has ongoing projects
in behavioral ecology and population/conservation genetics in several different taxa, as well as projects that link
changes in the genome with changes at the organismal level in an evolutionary framework to elucidate proximate
and ultimate causes of change. In addition to her research, Rebecca has contributed strongly to the broader dis-
cipline of ornithology: She is a Fellow and currently serves as Treasurer of the American Ornithological Society,
serves as has served on Council and committees for AOS and other societies, and is an editor at Ibis.

Friday plenaries at 8 am in Presidio Ballroom: Early Career Awardee
Dr. Kristen Covino, Canisius College, 2018 James G. Cooper Award
Title: A sex-specific schedule for
breeding development in
migratory songbirds
Biography: Dr. Kristen Covino is currently a Post-doctoral
Fellow at Canisius College and will be starting as an
Assistant Professor at Loyola Marymount University in
August 2018. Kristen’s research encompasses many scales
of inquiry, ranging from avian physiology to continen-
tal-scale migratory movements, and seeks to understand the
movement biology and whole life-cycle biology of migra-
tory birds. Her interest in birds started as an undergraduate
when she took Ornithology and conducted research with
Sara Morris and continued during her early graduate work
with Rebecca Holberton. For her Ph.D., Kristen was a
member of the Migratory Bird Research Group where she
worked with Frank Moore at the University of Southern
Mississippi. Her dissertation work investigated breeding
development in several inter-continental migrants en route to
their breeding grounds and demonstrates that the phenology
of physiological breeding development in these species is
sex-specific. Kristen is also interested in addressing issues
focused on making ornithology more accessible to women and the LGBT community as well as promoting under-
graduate participation in research. She recently received a Diversity and Inclusion Award from AOS and in 2017
she became an elective member of the AOS.

Friday plenaries at 8 am in Presidio Ballroom: Early Career Awardee
Dr. Scott A. Taylor, University of Colorado Boulder,
2018 Ned K. Johnson Award
Title: A bird’s eye view of the origin and maintenance of biodiversity
Biography: Dr. Scott A. Taylor joined the
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary
Biology at the University of Colorado at
Boulder in August 2016. His lab applies
genomics and field experiments to natural
hybrid zones and closely related taxa to
investigate reproductive isolation—the
hallmark of speciation—and the genetic
bases of traits relevant to speciation. This
research also provides insight into the im-
pacts of anthropogenic change, including
climate change, on species distributions,
interactions, and evolution. Scott was pre-
viously a Fuller and Banting Postdoctoral
Fellow at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology,
where he worked with Dr. Irby Lovette
using genomic tools to understand hybrid-
ization and species boundaries in chick-
adees, warblers, and redpoll finches. He
obtained his Ph.D. from Queen’s Universi-
ty in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, where he
worked with Dr. Vicki Friesen and studied
the ecology and evolution of South Amer-
ican seabirds, including the charismatic
Blue-footed Booby, the Peruvian Booby,
and the Peruvian Pelican. Dr. Taylor’s publications detail his diverse research interests on topics ranging from
evolutionary genetics to foraging ecology. Born and raised on the coast of Lake Huron in southwestern Ontario, Dr.
Taylor’s passion for natural history extends as far back as he can remember. He has worked extensively as a nat-
uralist, leading groups of all ages on excursions exploring the diversity of the globe from Antarctica to Ascension
Island, the Galápagos Islands, and the high Arctic. Dr. Taylor is an enthusiastic and dedicated scientist and educator,
is committed to supporting diversity and inclusion in STEM, and is a passionate natural historian at heart.

Saturday Plenary at 8:15 am in Presidio Ballroom: Dr. Ian
MacGregor-Fors, Institute of Ecology, Veracruz, Mexico
Title: Living in the Anthropocene: Birds facing a changing world
Biography: Ian MacGregor-Fors is a researcher at the
Institute of Ecology (INECOL) in Mexico. His passion
for birds since adolescence lead him to study Biology at
the University of Guadalajara (Mexico), receiving a M.Sc.
(2008) and a Ph.D. (2010), both with honors, from the
National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
He has focused his research on untangling the response of
wildlife communities to anthropogenic ecological distur-
bances with an important focus on birds, as well as the
role of invasive birds as avian diversity drivers. As the
author/co-author of more than 65 peer-reviewed publi-
cations and diverse popular science pieces, Ian is highly
committed to filling the knowledge gap regarding the
ecology of Neotropical birds, as we all as other wildlife
groups, in human-modified systems. Ian is currently on
the Advisory Board of the International Network Urban
Biodiversity & Design (URBIO), seeking to promote
the implementation of the United Nations ‘Convention
on Biological Diversity’ (CBD) in urban areas. He was
Associate Editor for Landscape and Urban Planning from
2014 to 2016 (where he is currently Editorial Advisor),
and is presently Associate Editor for the Journal of Ur-
ban Ecology, Urban Naturalist, and Huitzil, the Mexican
Journal of Ornithology. Ian is confident that the use of
evidence-based knowledge from the physical, ecological,
and social components of human-modified systems can
result in biodiverse and healthier landscapes.
