Maggie P. MacPherson 1 [email protected] www.maggiepmacpherson.com 2 3 RESEARCH STATEMENT: I use mathematical models to test how ecological processes 4 interact to determine species geographic range limits. 5 6 RESEARCH POSITIONS & EDUCATION 7 2020-present Postdoctoral Researcher, Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science 8 The role of climate variability in the evolution of migration in Neotropical 9 suboscine (Supervisor: Dr. Nicholas Mason) 10 o I am modelling how seasonality influences migratory versus sedentary life history strategies 11 in Neotropical suboscine birds. 12 13 2019-2020 Postdoctoral Scholar, University of California Santa Barbara 14 Flexibility in a rapidly expanding species (Supervisor: Dr. Corina Logan) 15 o I modelled how behavioural flexibility in an invading species, great-tailed grackles 16 (Quiscalus mexicanus), contributes to range expansion by comparing patterns in reversal 17 learning and innovative solution switching in multiple populations across their range. I also 18 reviewed the drivers of range limits across birds to create a Bayesian network model to 19 improve predictive distribution models for bird species. 20 21 2017-2019 Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Missouri 22 Linking life history needs of wetland-dependent species with habitat conditions 23 and associated ecological processes to implement the Wetland Planning Initiative 24 (Supervisor: Dr. Elisabeth Webb) 25 o I discovered that waterfowl are an appropriate umbrella species for wetland conservation 26 globally because their habitat requirements significantly overlap with other wetland- 27 dependent species. I also discovered the suites of habitat requirements necessary to fulfill life 28 history needs of the following mid-continent, wetland-dependent taxa in the USA: Gray 29 Treefrog, Least Bittern, Mallard, Small-mouthed Salamander, Sora, Paddlefish, and 30 Prothonotary Warbler. 31 32 2017 Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Tulane University 33 The Gentilly Resilience District Ecological Monitoring Protocol (Supervisor: Dr. 34 Joshua Lewis) 35 o I designed the experimental approach for measuring avian abundance and diversity across a 36 large urban landscape in New Orleans, Louisiana. 37 38 2017 Ph. D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Tulane University 39 Migration Patterns in Birds of the New World: Seasonal, Morphometric and 40 Physiological Considerations (Supervisors: Dr. Caroline Taylor & Dr. Tom 41 Sherry) 42 o I discovered that rainfall was a significant positive predictor of seasonal locations for 43 migratory species, that there has been selection for variation in bill morphology in more 44 migratory lineages, and that migratory subspecies consumed fruit in anticipation of pre- 45 breeding migration when sympatric sedentary subspecies did not in the Tyrannus genus. 46 47 Curriculum Vitae, MacPherson Page 2 of 16

2014 M. Sc. in Biology, York University 48 Effects of Migration Schedules on Physiological Condition and Timing of 49 Breeding Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) (Supervisor: Dr. Bridget 50 Stutchbury) 51 o I discovered that spring migration duration was negatively associated with arrival condition 52 and delayed nesting in long-distance migratory Wood Thrush. 53 54 2008 B. Sc. in Wildlife Biology, University of Guelph 55 Male White-ruffed (Corapipo altera) Who Spend More Time at Home 56 are More Likely to Receive Visits from Females (Supervisors: Dr. Alice Boyle & 57 Dr. Ryan Norris) 58 o I discovered that males who spent more time at their lek received more visits from females. 59 60 Click this link to see a list of my academic coursework on my LinkedIn profile. 61 62 PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS 63 PUBLISHED (post-study peer reviewed only) 64 9.

Journal of Ornithology, 158: 1061- 80 1071. 81 o We discovered that Tyrannus flycatchers overlap body moult with reproduction, with a 82 negative interaction between clutch size on body molt intensity in males but not in females. 83 84 6.

Demographic variation in timing and intensity of feather molt in 94 migratory Fork-tailed Flycatchers (Tyrannus s. savana). Journal of Field Ornithology, 95 87(2): 143-154. 96 o We discovered that adults had an overall higher remige molt intensity (number of wing flight 97 feathers molting at one time), as well as an overall more advanced remige molt (measured by 98 mean remige number), compared to juveniles during winter. We described the first 99 comprehensive evaluation of winter molt for a migratory New World flycatcher at tropical 100 latitudes. 101 102 4. Stanley, C., E. McKinnon, K. Fraser, M. MacPherson, G.

Connectivity of Wood 104 Thrush breeding, wintering, and migration sites based on range-wide tracking. 105 Conservation Biology, 29(1): 164-174. 106 o We discovered and quantified migration routes and wintering regions for three distinct 107 breeding populations. Using a migratory network, we discovered that over 50% of the all 108 wintering habitat for the species was found in Honduras and Costa Rica, a region undergoing 109 intensive deforestation. 110 111 3.

To obtain the best latitude estimates in the tropics with 117 geolocators, we recommended using locations during the dry season when sun elevations are 118 closer to those measured at breeding sites. 119 120 2.

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 278(1702): 131-137. 131 *6th most cited paper from Royal Society B in 2011 132 o We discovered that late nesting thrushes postponed feather moult, and birds with less 133 advanced moult in August were significantly farther north by mid-October while en route to 134 wintering grounds. We discovered that, due to highly variable stopover durations during fall 135 migration, high reproductive effort late in the season that resulted in poor pre-migratory 136 physiological condition and delayed moult did not delay winter territory acquisition. 137 138 IN PRESS 139 This section lists preregistrations that have passed pre-study peer review at PCI Ecology (in principle acceptance) 140 Curriculum Vitae, MacPherson Page 4 of 16
