SUPPORTING INFORMATION: Eakin et al. (In Review). Avian Response to Green Roofs in Urban Landscapes in the Midwestern USA Author Bios Carly Eakin conducted this research as a graduate student in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University, and a researcher on the MSU Green Roof Team. Carly holds a B.S. in Landscape Architecture from Michigan State University and is a licensed landscape architect in Michigan. Her research addresses conservation of wildlife communities in urban landscapes. She integrates her background in landscape architecture with wildlife ecology and conservation to further the working understanding of environmental rehabilitation and sustainable planning in the face of urban pressures. She is currently a graduate student in the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology at the University of Maine. Henry (Rique) Campa, III, Ph.D is an Associate Dean of The Graduate School and a Professor of Wildlife Ecology at Michigan State University. Rique holds a B.S. in Wildlife Management from the University of Missouri-Columbia and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Wildlife Ecology from Michigan State University. He is also a Certified Wildlife Biologist with The Wildlife Society. Rique previously worked for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources-Wildlife Division and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. His primary areas of interest in research and teaching include the influence of management practices and disturbances on wildlife habitat suitability and wildlife species and community responses, ecosystem management, and the professional development of graduate students. Dan Linden is a postdoctoral researcher in the Maine Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. His educational background includes a B.S. from the University of Rhode Island and an M.S. and Ph.D. from Michigan State University. His research interests include wildlife population modeling and ecological statistics. His work focuses on estimation of relationships between species and environments at multiple scales to inform management and conservation, or enhance ecological understanding. Brad Rowe received his Ph.D. in Horticultural Science from North Carolina State University and joined the faculty at Michigan State University in1997. He has directed the MSU green roof research program since its inception in 2000, was the founding chair of the Green Roofs for Healthy Cities (GRHC) research committee, and was awarded the GRHC Excellence in Research Award in 2008. He has focused his research efforts primarily on plant selection, carbon sequestration, rooftop vegetable productions, and stormwater runoff while collaborating with colleagues on roof thermal performance and avian and insect biodiversity. Joanne M. Westphal is a professor in the Landscape Architecture Program at Michigan State University, an Associate Professor in the Recreation and Parks Department at Texas A&M University, and past-president of the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture (CELA). Joanne holds a B.S. in Biology from the University of Wisconsin, a M.S. in Soil Science and Water Chemistry, a M.A. in Landscape Architecture, a Ph.D. in Soil Science, and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). Joanne is a licensed practicing physician and landscape architect in Michigan. She is a Fellow in the American Society of Landscape Architects and the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture. Her primary areas of interest are issues of health in the built environment, therapeutic site design, context-sensitive design, and research methodology. Gary J. Roloff is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University. His educational background includes a B.S. from the University of WisconsinSteven Point, an M.S. from Eastern Kentucky University, and a Ph.D. from Michigan State University. Prior to MSU, Gary worked as a Wildlife Applications Manager for Boise Cascade Corporation. His research interests broadly include disturbance effects on wildlife, with an emphasis on forest management.
