معرفی
Jill Jankowski is an Associate Professor at the Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, specializing in the ecology of tropical and temperate bird communities. Her work explores how abiotic and biotic interactions shape range boundaries, community assembly, and biodiversity.
Education:
- B.Sc., Department of Biological Sciences, Purdue University
- M.Sc., Department of Biological Sciences, Purdue University
- Ph.D., Department of Zoology, University of Florida
Research Interests:
- Ecology of tropical avian communities
- Climate change impacts on species distributions
- Thermoregulatory physiology in high-altitude birds
- Community assembly and interspecific competition
- Predictive distribution modeling for conservation
- Plant-pollinator interactions in Andean ecosystems
Recent Publications: Focus on global avian survival patterns, predictive modeling, and ecological responses to environmental gradients. Key themes include tropical montane biodiversity, metabolic physiology, and conservation strategies.
Labs & Teams: Dr. Jankowski's research group includes lab members S. David N. Seefeldt and K. Torres Montano. She collaborates with teams studying the Manú Gradient and avian community dynamics in Andean and Amazonian ecosystems.
