The Bird Genoscape Project is proud to be teaming up with Bird Conservancy of the Rockies and other groups to help protect and restore grassland birds. Watch for updates as we build genoscapes for some of these species! apnews.com/article/grassl…

Are you an educator in the front range of Colorado and looking to take your students on a field trip? Our Bird Banding Field Trips at our Barr Lake banding station are unforgettable and a great addition to your science curriculum. Learn more below! birdconservancy.org/school_programs

Please share this awesome post doctoral opportunity to help create genoscapes for migratory birds across the Western Hemisphere! ornithologyexchange.org/jobs/board/pos…

Former lab member Caitlin Miller's work with Canada Warblers shows that genomics-informed conservation-units provide a foundation for identifying regional threats that can inform management strategies for a mobile species in a rapidly changing world. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38018020/

🚨 Scientific discovery alert! Dr. Jen Tinsman, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory scientist, discovered a new way to help combat pangolin trafficking. 👉 ow.ly/uGKf50QiThb

DNA analysis is helping authorities catch pangolin poachers bit.ly/471tH9i

Population genomic approaches allow conservationists to trace pangolins back to sites where they were poached. newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/break…

Our Bird Genoscape Project genomic approach can be used to fight pangolin poaching to help protect this endangered species.

New paper alert! Broad-scale seasonal climate tracking is a consequence, not a driver, of avian migratory connectivity Ecology Letters Marius Somveille onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

We had a great meeting with the U.S. National Science Foundation ORCC team at AOS! #AOS2024

Parallel and convergent evolution in genes underlying seasonal migration doi.org/10.1093/evlett… Now in Evolution Letters by Luz E Zamudio-Beltrán et al. (Bird Genoscape Project (BGP))

nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl… Great article in National Geographic about Lynne Trulio's work on western Burrowing Owls and how the BGP is assisting in these efforts!

BGP Director Kristen Ruegg chimed in on the importance of genetic diversity in this collaborative article.

We're so excited to share that genomic data we've generated for 12 species so far has been incorporated into Audubon Society's Bird Migration Explorer! 🧬

A great article in Audubon Society's spring 2025 issue under conservation news with comments from our Canadian and Indiana DNR partners about what they’re doing to help protect Loggerhead Shrikes (Lanius ludovicianus) and how our genomic data is supporting these goals.
