Science Café: Sensory ecology and conservation of seabirds

Seabirds live in extreme environments. After leaving their nests, they spend the majority of their lives on the vast open ocean, coming to shore only to breed. Some seabirds also exhibit unique behaviors like monogamy, colonial nesting, and even nocturnality. Join us as Dr. Megan Friesen of Saint Martin’s University shares research investigating the complexities and evolution of their sensory systems and how an understanding of their sensory perception can be used for conservation.
