*Migration Mysteries: Variation in Migration Distances Under Climate Change* *Presenter: Lisa Manne*
*Brooklyn Public Library, Central Branch at Grand Army PlazaSeptember 19 @ 7:00 pm **Lisa Manne**- 9:00 pm* Lisa Manne, Assistant Professor of Biology at the College of Staten Island, will present Migration Mysteries: Variation in Migration Distances for North American Short-distance Migrants Under Climate Change Under climate change, bird ranges are tending to shift toward the poles. There are good reasons to believe that winter ranges might be shifting at the same rate of speed as are breeding ranges. Her lab is testing this assertion with long-term data for short-distance North American migrants. They found a diversity of responses, and a few surprises!
