Regular biography
Morgan Tingley is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research integrates original field data with biodiversity informatics and quantitative modeling to address ecological questions related to the impacts of anthropogenic drivers such as climate change, invasive species, and land-use change on organismal distributions and community interactions. His work spans short- and long-term temporal scales and includes studies on migratory patterns, species sensitivity to environmental changes, and the effects of disturbances like fire on biodiversity. Tingley's research has been published in prominent journals such as Scientific Reports, Global Change Biology, and Nature Ecology and Evolution.
Scholar-generated biography
Morgan Tingley is a Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, specializing in Global Change, Quantitative Ecology, Community Ecology, Ornithology, and Fire Ecology. Her research explores how climate change influences avian distributions, focusing on shifts in elevational ranges and thermal niches. She investigates the impacts of fire on biodiversity, including pyrodiversity effects on avian diversity. Tingley also examines data integration challenges and the role of citizen science in ecological monitoring. Her work emphasizes the interplay between environmental change and species responses, with a focus on conservation and ecological modeling.
