Overview

Erica Nol is affiliated with Trent University in Canada and specializes in environmental science, with a significant focus on avian ecology and behavior. Their research portfolio spans numerous topics including fire effects on ecosystems, species distribution and climate change, rangeland and wildlife management, wildlife ecology and conservation, climate variability and models, and fish ecology and management studies.

Their work explores various subfields of study, chiefly ecology, followed by global and planetary change, ecological modeling, atmospheric science, and areas related to ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics. This diverse range demonstrates a comprehensive approach to understanding environmental processes and their impacts on wildlife.

Erica Nol has contributed to multiple peer-reviewed journals, frequently publishing in the Journal of Field Ornithology and Wader Study, with four publications in each. They have also published three papers each in Ecology and Evolution, Avian Conservation and Ecology, and The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, reflecting consistent engagement with leading research outlets in their field.

Recent notable papers include:

  • "Annual adult survival drives trends in Arctic-breeding shorebirds but knowledge gaps in other vital rates remain," 2020, Ornithological Applications
  • "Drought at a coastal wetland affects refuelling and migration strategies of shorebirds," 2021, Oecologia
  • "American Oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus)," 2020, Birds of the World
  • "Flyway-scale GPS tracking reveals migratory routes and key stopover and non-breeding locations of lesser yellowlegs," 2022, Ecology and Evolution
  • "Timing of Breeding Site Availability Across the North-American Arctic Partly Determines Spring Migration Schedule in a Long-Distance Neotropical Migrant," 2021, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution

Collaboration is an integral aspect of Erica Nol's work. Frequent co-authors include Paul A. Smith, Richard B. Lanctot, Scott A. Flemming, Jennie Rausch, and Sarah T. Saalfeld. These collaborations span various projects and publications, underpinning a networked approach to advancing ecological research.
