Research Focus
Dr. Stutchbury is not accepting new graduate students.
My long-term research examines the population ecology and conservation of birds. My recent research uses use long-term coded radiotags and a large automated telemetry array (MOTUS) in Ontario to monitor migration movements of birds that were tagged as nestlings or breeding adults. Formerly, my lab used light-level geolocators to track the long distance migration movements of songbirds to understand migration ecology, seasonal carry-over effects and the extent to which breeding populations depend on specific wintering regions.
