Effects of ambient temperature on mechanisms of pathogen transmission in house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus)
… contribute to the fall and winter outbreaks of mycoplasmal conjunctivitis, a disease characterized by severe conjunctival swelling and changes in behavior in house finches. In my first experiment, I simulated infection in house finches to determine how temperature (warm versus cold) affected …

The use of exponential random graph models to explore social foraging dynamics of interspecific songbird assemblages
… captured with and without a bacterial disease (mycoplasmal conjunctivitis) to determine if infected birds differed in foraging activity, patterns of association with heterospecifics and conspecifics, and sociality (i.e., number of foraging partners). Infected house finches were more likely to …
