Paying Top Dollar 1-402-640-6335 Will Pick Up Coleridge, NE USD biology professor’s research is ‘for the birds’ By Travis Gulbrandson travis.gulbrandson@plaintalk.net USD biology professor David Swanson, Ph.D., has recently been publicized for his work with bird adaptation to climate change in Audobon, a conservation magazine based in New York. He outlined this research in an interview with the Vermillion Plain Talk in February 2013. “If we know how birds respond to those changing temperatures, changing photoperiods, then we can make some predictions about how birds will be able to respond (to changes in climate) and whether they can withstand those changes,” Swanson said. The project was started at USD by Swanson in 1990, and concerned the physical changes the birds undergo season to season. The metabolic rates of birds that stayed in the area all year, as well as only part of the year, were studied because the total amount of energy a bird uses is directly related to its heat production. Heat production in birds is primarily the function of the skeletal muscles, specifically their flight muscles, although Swanson points out that muscle growth isn’t related to the amount of time the birds spend flying. “If anything, they’re probably flying around a lot less (during the winter) because they’re not taking trips back and forth to the nest,” Swanson said. “But they’re shivering like crazy, so heat production in birds is (caused) primarily by shivering with those big flight muscles. “The bigger muscles allow them to increase their shivering capacity, and that allows them to increase their cold tolerance,” he said. Swanson said the birds that are in eastern South Dakota all year include the Black-capped Chickadee, Whitebreasted Nuthatch, House Sparrow, American Goldfinch, House Finch and the Northern Cardinal. Others like the Darkeyed Junco and the American Tree Sparrow Hello! fly from Canada to nest in South Dakota for the winter. The western side of the state closely compares to all the northern states west of the Dakotas, although Swanson said that Dark-Eyed Juncos do live in the Black Hills year round, even though they are natives of Canada. It is because of the forests in that region that attract them, said Swanson. Swanson said that although an extremely harsh or extremely mild winter does not really throw these birds off, the biggest problem is when there is a vast change in a short period of time. The preparation the birds go through before a winter takes at least a week. The results of tests done at USD could give the researchers insight into the global issue of climate change. “If the habitats that they need and the temperatures that they can tolerate become mismatched, then there could be some potential problems for the populations of these birds,” Swanson told the Plain Talk earlier this year. Swanson teaches several biology courses at USD, including Ornithology, which is the study of birds. He is currently the secretary of the South Dakota Ornithologist’s Union.
