Publication reflections and plans
Masters thesis @ SELU: 1993-1997, work on birds in tropical forest fragments
- Couple papers, probably nothing left to squeeze out
- Failed book on Neotropical birds
Ph.D. Dissertation @ Auburn: 1999-2005, 1 year of tropical work, five years (really?) on urbanization and birds in Georgia
- One paper in Urban Ecosystems on migration system and urbanization
- Room for one more probably if still relevent: major habitat group (e.g., grassland birds) and urbanization
Post Doc @ Auburn 2005-2007: Bluebirds and urbanization
- No publications
- Should be a pubs on
- Feather color (collab)
- growth rates (but the statistics!)
- Box use and fitness (did not band)
Wilkes Years 2007 - now
- Bird exclusion and plant growth - didn't go anywhere
- Clay caterpillars - submitted and rejected, could be published - maybe
- Blood parasites and urbanziation - submitted and rejected
- Wood thrush nest success - maybe something there
- Grasslands and birds - published in Ecosphere - but could be more fine tuned and published other place
- Food web at Lehigh Gap - published in Restoration Ecology
- Deer browse project - one more season and move to publish
- Isotopes
- new Lehigh Gap data is ready to be worked up
- chnages in plant community at Lehigh Gap (and insects)
- there is another site (Nescopeck Field B) with a bunch of samples that is close to being complete
- Avondale Mine Reclamation - like Lehigh Gap but without all the heavy metals - should be ready to go after this latest data set comes in (any hour)
- Burned and unburned sites - unclear what samples we have
- Fire and birds
- Large data set - just sitting on it - why??? statistics mostly
How does one focus on an old paper while working on getting data for current projects (more fire and bird stuff)?
