Published purpose
This project will examine how urbanization affects the breeding ecology of Arctic-breeding Snow Buntings in Iqaluit, Nunavut, by comparing life-history traits and environmental factors between urban and non-urban sites. It will examine how human disturbance, predation, and resource availability influence reproductive decisions and success, and assess whether urban habitats provide benefits or ecological traps for the species. This research aims to inform conservation strategies, guide urban planning, and support long-term monitoring of Arctic songbird populations.
