A New York scientist knows how to save the birds — particularly endangered species such as the Spotted Owl and the California Gnatcatcher.

Advances in the conservation of birds will be the topic of a lecture on May 27 at 11:15 a.m. in Science Lecture Hall 145 at Santa Monica College, 1900 Pico Blvd. “Recent Advances in Avian Conservation Genetics” will be presented by George Barrowclough, curator of the American Museum of Natural History’s Division of Vertebrate Zoology-Ornithology in New York and an adjunct biology professor at The City College of The City University of New York. The event is free.

Barrowclough, who received his doctorate from the University of Minnesota, has concentrated his research on bird conservation, primarily from a genetic standpoint.

His fieldwork concentrates on certain forests in North America and in the Guiana region of South America. The work, which has been widely published, mainly involves the collection of skeletal specimens for molecular and DNA analysis.
