Come join Pauline Roberts and learn about the conservation efforts regarding the island’s rare and special native birds.
The talk is part of the Science in the Garden Lecture Series put on by the National Tropical Botanical Gardens. The event is Thursday at 6:30 p.m.
Roberts is the coordinator for the Kaua‘i Forest Bird Recovery Project, a part of Hawai‘i’s wildlife conservation program. She recently relocated from New Hampshire, where she received a doctorate in ecology and evolutionary biology from Dartmouth College. Her dissertation research, and much of her earlier field experience, focused on the population and behavioral ecology of birds, which she has explored in locations across the United States and abroad. Pauline’s interest in all things flying, walking and growing has led her to participate in projects investigating a diversity of topics. Those topics range from fruit fly developmental genetics, to bird community/habitat relationships, to wallaby conservation biology.
