BIRDS OF MEXICO by Jill Deppe and Antonio Celis
We have created this webpage to share with others our research in Mexico as well as to provide information, such as bird songs and our research site information, in an attempt to facilitate future research in Mexico. We hope this webpage stimulates interest for working on birds or other wildlife in Mexico and encourages communication among students and investigators already conducting bird research in Mexico and other areas of Latin America. This page is a work in progress, so as new information becomes available and we embark on new avenues of research, we will keep you posted, so check back with us periodically.
Our research focuses on four main areas:
-
Understanding bird species' habitat associations, the proximate factors and mechanisms shaping those associations and community structure, as well as the consequences of habitat occupancy on individual fitness and population regulation
-
Spatio-temporal responses of birds to natural and anthropogenic disturbances
-
Use of bioacoustics for monitoring tropical bird species and communities, and recording bird vocalizations to develop tools (e.g. bird song CDs) to facilitate species identification in the region
-
Development of an acoustic archive (SONAT) for use in scientific studies, including soundscapes (natural and non-natural) from Mexico.
