Why Is Donald Kroodsma Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Donald Eugene Kroodsma is an American author and ornithologist, one of the world's leading experts on the science of birdsong. Education and career He received in 1968 his B.A. from Hope College in Holland, Michigan and in 1972 his Ph.D. from Oregon State University under John A. Wiens with dissertation Singing behavior of the Bewick's wren: development, dialects, population structure, and geographical variation. Kroodsma was from 1972 to 1974 a postdoc and from 1974 to 1980 an assistant professor at Rockefeller University. He was from 1980 to 1987 an associate professor and from 1987 to 2003 a full professor and is since 2004 a professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
