Why Is Alexander L. Bond Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Alexander L. Bond is a Canadian conservation biologist, ecologist, and curator. He is a senior curator at the Natural History Museum at Tring. Education Bond completed a B.Sc. with Honors in biology from Mount Allison University in 2005 and published a thesis titled Daytime spring migrations of scoters in the Bay of Fundy. He earned an M.Sc. from University of New Brunswick in 2007. His thesis was entitled Patterns of mercury burden in the seabird community of Machias Seal Island, New Brunswick.
