Many of us know that birds don't sweat. But did you know they still lose water through their skin? Little is known about this physiological phenomenon, particularly in nestlings. Jillian’s research examines how cutaneous (through-the-skin) water loss changes throughout nestling development and what factors may affect it. During the presentation, Jillian will walk you through the first years' work on this project, giving you all the details you never knew you wanted to know.Jillian Murphy has been a birder since the age of 9, and has studied birds since 2022 as an undergrad at Portland State University. Jillian is currently an MS student at the University of South Dakota, studying songbird development, nest microclimates, and their interactions.
The Loess Hills Audubon Society Board Meeting begins at 6:00 pm with Jillians’s program beginning at 7:00 pm.
Everyone is welcome to attend both the board meeting and the free program!
