(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Bette Ann Loiselle is an American neotropical ornithologist, neotropical ecologist, and conservation biologist. Education and career At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign she graduated in 1979 with a B.A. in biology and in 1981 with an M.S. in biology. In 1987 she received her Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her Ph.D. thesis in entitled Birds and plants in a neotropical rain forest: seasonality and interactions. From 1987 to 1990 she was a naturalist for Betchart Expeditions in Cupertino, California. From 1988 to 1990 she was an adjunct research associate at the Natural Resources Institute at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. In the department of biology at the University of Missouri–St. Louis, she was from 1990 to 1996 an assistant professor, from 1996 to 2005 an associate professor, and from 2005 to 2010 a full professor, as well as from 1997 to 2003 the director of the International Center for Tropical Ecology, University of Missouri–St. Louis. From 2006 to 2008 she was on a 2-year leave of absence to work as a program officer for the Division of Environmental Biology, National Science Foundation, Washington, D.C. At the University of Florida, since 2011 she has been a professor in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, as well as the director of the Tropical Conservation and Development Program at the University of Florida's Center for Latin American Studies.
