Climate Change: Future
• Expect Great Plains annual mean temperatures to increase 3.6°C - 6.1°C by 2102 (Ojima and Lackett 2002)
• Expect Increase in mean summer temperatures 6.3°C, dew points 1.1°C at Sioux City urban areas by 2100 (Kenward et al. 2014).
• IPCC 2013: ↑ Maximum Temps

Research Objectives:
• Local distribution, the effect
of land use change (Chapter 1)
• Nesting success, chick condition (i.e., corticosterone),
thermal microclimate for urban rooftop nest sites
(Chapters 2 and 4)
• Chick evaporative cooling responses to heat exposure,
ambient temperature levels that induce thermoregulatory
responses (Chapter 3)

Chapter 1: Land cover and nighthawk habitat associations
• Two study areas:
➢Eastern: Flat, gravel rooftops and dominated by row crops
➢Western Study Region: More pasture, hay and grassland; no gravel rooftops
• Land Cover Analysis
➢Landsat data
(Cropland, Forest,
Water, Grassland,
Urban)
➢Satellite Imagery
(Flat gravel
rooftops)
