Meghan A. Beatty, Ph.D.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Cornell K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at Cornell University. My research focuses on population ecology, ecological forecasting, and conservation biology, with an emphasis on birds. 

I develop and apply advanced modeling approaches to understand and predict how environmental conditions, disturbance, and spatial processes shape species-habitat relationships and population dynamics. My work integrates innovative field-based methods and quantitative approaches to address fundamental questions in ecology and inform conservation decision-making for wildlife populations facing complex challenges.
