Noah Perlut speaks at Bowdoin College on impacts of agricultural management on songbirds

Noah Perlut, assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Studies, gave a talk at Bowdoin College on December 6, 2012, titled “The ecological and evolutionary impacts of agricultural management on songbirds.”

Perlut discussed his research, which began in 2002, on how hayfield and pasture management affects the life-histories of grassland songbirds.  His work has expanded to create and explore federal policies that balance landowners’ economic and birds’ life-history needs.
