We are pleased to present this Annual Report chronicling our accomplishments—each fueled by your continuing investment in science and learning. nature and culture. (pg. 2) In the following pages, you will find remarkable stories of the Field’s work: a 42-year longitudinal study connecting shrinking body sizes of migratory birds with climate change; discoveries of new species within our collections; and innovative personalized learning experiences for Chicago Public Schools students, and much more. Research at the Field Museum will be expressed in new ways. The Negaunee Integrative Research Center—recently named to honor the Negaunee Foundation’s generous support over many years— Its global impact—through research, established an all new research focus on the environmental and biological issues behind the alarming decline in pollinator populations worldwide. In addition, the Grainger Bioinformatics Center was created, thanks to a 10-year pilot program funded by The Grainger Foundation. Field scholars will use a variety of novel big-data analysis techniques conservation action, learning programs, to study Museum collections and unlock hidden patterns in nature. The Museum will also award an annual international bioinformatics prize to encourage the application of these new research techniques to some of the most pressing biological and environmental challenges of our time. The Keller Science Action Center celebrated 25 years of conservation programs that have effected and exhibitions—is anchored by a change in collaboration with communities in Chicagoland and around the world. What started as a department of two, is now an interdisciplinary team of 35 scientists and educators whose work is addressing urgent environmental challenges. Your philanthropy bestows a unique responsibility on us—to be guardians and stewards of this priceless collection of 40 million iconic institution. We accept this charge with gratitude.

DISCOVERY Field Museum’s 40 million artifacts and Migratory specimens drive discovery behind the scenes every day. Whether billions of years old or recently collected, Museum Birds are specimens help scientists build a complete picture of evolution and change. Every day since 1978, Museum scientists and Shrinking volunteers started as early as 3:30am to collect birds that collide with buildings, adding more than 100,000 specimens to the Museum’s collection. Dave Willard, PhD, Collections Manager Emeritus, has carefully measured all the birds and recorded data by hand for more than 40 years. The goal was to build a densely sampled time series from both spring and fall migration. Willard and his colleagues analyzed these data and discovered the overall body sizes of more than 52 species of migratory birds are shrinking. One possible cause of this phenomenon is climate change. Animal body sizes are often tied to climate. Within a species, individuals living in colder regions tend to be bigger than their counterparts in warmer regions. And, (Opposite) Bird specimens since temperatures have crept up in the birds’ collected by Dave Willard summer breeding grounds in the last 40 years, and volunteers near the researchers believe the shrinking of birds is Museum Campus. related to the rising temperature of the planet. 4 Field Museum 2019 Annual Report to Donors 5 DISCOVERY new species New Meteorite discovered by Field New Prehistoric Lands in Field Museum scientists Museum Collections Shark Species in 2019 33 On April 23, 2019, a meteorite fall was reported in Aguas Zarcas, Discovered in Costa Rica (for which the meteorite is now named).

Michigan Ave. (1928; Holabird & Roche/Holabird & Root) The 333 NORTH MICHIGAN BUILDING is one of the city's most outstanding Art Deco-style skyscrapers. It is one of four buildings surrounding the Michigan A venue Bridge that defines one of the city' s-and nation' s-finest urban spaces. The building's base is sheathed in polished granite, in shades of black and purple. Its upper stories, which are set back in dramatic fashion to correspond to the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, are clad in buff-colored limestone and dark terra cotta. The building's prominence is heightened by its unique site. Due to the jog of Michigan Avenue at the bridge, the building is visible the length of North Michigan Avenue, appearing to be located in the center of the street. ABOVE: The 333 North Michigan Building was one of the first skyscrapers to take advantage of the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, which encouraged the construction of buildings with setback towers.

Using locational data from Social Media platforms platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, along with participatory field visits and combining insights from architecture and urban design literature, this study reveals popular socio-spatial clusters in the City of Chicago. Locational data of photographs were visualized by using Geographic Information Systems and helped in producing heat maps that showed the spatial distribution of posted photographs. Geo-intensity of photographs illustrated areas that are most popularly visited in the city. The study’s results indicate that the city’s skyscrapers along open spaces are major elements of image formation. Findings also elucidate that Social Media plays an important role in promoting places; and thereby, sustaining a greater interest and stream of visitors. Consequently, planners should tap into public’s digital engagement in city places to improve tourism and economy. Keywords: Social media, Iconic socio-spatial clusters, Popular places, Skyscrapers 1. Introduction 1.1. Sustainability: A Theoretical Framework The concept of sustainability continues to be of para- mount importance to our cities (Godschalk & Rouse, 2015).

This doubles the 14 million square feet represented by the program’s founding 14 participants. The Commercial Buildings Initiative was launched on June 5 by Mayor Emanuel and U.S. Secretary of Energy Dr. Steven Chu. “This expansion of Retrofit Chicago’s Commercial Buildings Initiative highlights the leadership of commercial building owners, managers, and tenants in making Chicago a center of building efficiency and a place where companies are maximizing their ability to compete,” said Mayor Emanuel. “These participants understand that in the modern economic environment, it is critical to operate at maximum efficiency. The commitments that have been made by these 32 organizations will create jobs and foster growth throughout Chicago’s economy, while improving our environment as well.” Energy efficiency and clean energy comprise one of seven focus areas outlined in Sustainable Chicago 2015, a three-year roadmap to drive sustainability through city operations, in residents’ day-to-day lives, and across our economy. The Commercial Buildings Initiative is one component of Retrofit Chicago – the City’s cross-sector effort to accelerate energy efficiency in buildings – which also includes energy efficiency efforts in municipal and residential buildings.

Background: The Fork-tailed Swift Apus pacificus was until recently (e.g., Chantler 1999, 2000) considered to consist of four subspecies: pacificus, kanoi, cooki, and leuconyx. Nominate pacificus is highly migratory, breeding from Siberia south to northern China and Japan, and wintering in Australia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The other subspecies are either residents or short distance migrants: kanoi, which breeds from Taiwan west to SE Tibet and appears to winter as far south as southeast Asia.
