Bio

Edwin Jacobo is a doctoral candidate at Washington State University, where he studies the stopover ecology of migratory birds in North America. Edwin has a bachelor’s degree in biology and a master’s in environmental sciences from Universidad Autonóma de Nayarit, Mexico. When not doing fieldwork, Edwin likes fishing and birding with his wife and spending time with his family in Mexico. Edwin is interested in migratory bird responses to environmental change, particularly climate-related disturbances. His research focuses on multi-level avian responses (from physiological to community changes) to alterations in habitat quality caused by wildfire, drought and tree mortality. Edwin seeks to understand the mechanisms underlying bird responses to environmental change to inform habitat management and conservation needs.
