Synopsis of recent research by authors named "David B Lank"
David B Lank's recent research primarily investigates the ecological and evolutionary impacts of climate change on avian species, particularly in Arctic regions, with a focus on how environmental factors influence avian reproductive strategies and survival mechanisms.
His studies reveal significant interactions between temperature changes, food availability, and the phenology of breeding shorebirds, suggesting that warming temperatures may alter ecological dynamics and potentially lead to trophic mismatches.
Additionally, Lank examines genetic variations, such as supergenes, that contribute to diverse reproductive morphs in species like the ruff, highlighting how genetic and environmental factors converge to affect species adaptation and fitness in changing climates.*
