Effect of Anthropogenic Rescaling on Phenology of Life in the Air

Phil Chilson, Phil Stepanian, Eli Bridge and Jeff Kelly

This research project addresses two themes in macrosystems and macroecology 1) fundamental rules governing phenology of aerial behaviors based on system attributes and biodiversity traits and 2) the mechanisms underlying phenological rescaling (i.e. differential degree of speeding up) in response to anthropogenic impacts on terrestrial and atmospheric environmental processes. The study this in both nocturnal bird migration, and nocturnal insect dispersal and migration.
