This grant is for the purpose of studying the ecology of common resident bird species within Denali National Park, with a specific focus on understanding their responses to the ongoing warming climate. The research aims to identify critical ecological shifts and adaptations occurring within these avian populations due to rising temperatures. A key component of this investigation will involve examining the condition of the birds’ food caches and how these vital resources are affected by warmer environmental conditions. The findings from this study are expected to provide valuable insights into the resilience and vulnerability of Denali’s avian inhabitants, contributing to broader knowledge on climate change impacts on arctic and subarctic ecosystems. This research will enhance understanding of ecological dynamics in a rapidly changing environment.
