Matt Mogle
PhD student
Matt will explore impacts of wildfire smoke on songbird migration with co-supervision with Dr. Ann McKellar. Prior to beginning his PhD, he served as a Biologist for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service at the Oklahoma Fish & Wildlife Conservation Office. He completed his M.Sc. (2021) at Mount Allison University where he studied shorebird staging ecology and his B.S. (2017) at Baker University in Kansas, USA.
Andrew Moore
M.Sc student
Andrew will be focusing on how wildfire particulate matter impacts thermoregulatory capacity in house sparrows!
Past Undergraduate Research Projects
Dean Wiebe - Changes in red squirrel morphology over 80 years (BIOL 480) and Comparison of flight in birds and bats (BIOL 479)Faith Greva - Wing morphology and migratory distance in shorebirds (BIOL 480)
