Graduate Student, MS (start: Spring '18)Research focus: Painted Bunting population ecologyBiological SciencesChristineGurley (AT) my.unt.edupersonal website: https://sites.google.com/site/christinegurleybiology
|
Christine is a Master’s student researching delayed plumage maturation in male Painted Buntings. In this species, males possess similar plumage as females during their first potential breeding season, then obtain their characteristic brigntly colored breeding plumage after their second year (ASY). Christine’s MS research is investigating whether males gain any reproductive success before molting into their ASY breeding plumage. This project is in collaboration with Jim Bednarz (UNT) and Peter Dunn (University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee).
