How has a remote Amazonian bird community changed after three decades? with Dr. Ari Martinez.
Zoom Evening Meeting, Tuesday, 6 December, 7:30 p.m.
Zoom waiting room opens 7:15 p.m.

Dr. Martinez and a royal friend.

Dr. Ari Martinez is an ecologist whose research interest lies at the intersection of behavioral and community ecology. For example, how does inter-species sociality influence the organization of animal communities?  To answer this and other research questions he has spent over 10 years living and working in Latin America, using birds of the Amazon rainforest as a study system. In order to do so, he slept anywhere available — bed, tent, hammock, village sidewalk — and traveled on oxcarts, dugout canoes, motorcycles and logging trucks. In 2018, with funding from National Geographic Society, he organized a research team to re-census an entire Amazonian bird community 35 years after the initial census, and included three of the original team members. He will tell us about the challenges of surveying Amazonian bird communities and the results of this particular re-census.  He is currently an Assistant Professor at California State Long Beach, where his research program focuses on the influence of social information on animal communities, using Amazonian mixed-species flocks as a model system.
