    Explorer

    Education

    Ph.D. Biological Sciences, Louisiana State University.
    B.A. Biology, Reed College.

    Dr. Brian O’Shea is an ornithologist with broad interests in the ecology and conservation of birds, with emphasis on the Guiana Shield of northeastern South America.  His research interests include the distribution, community dynamics, and spatial ecology of birds in lowland rainforest and coastal secondary forests.  His current projects focus on training young biologists in Guyana and Suriname, using bird banding and sound recording as tools to stimulate interest in birds and nature while generating data to enhance conservation efforts.  Brian has participated in many survey expeditions to remote localities in the Guianas and western Amazonia, generating a wealth of information on avian distributions.  

    Brian has worked extensively with local and international institutions, NGOs, and industry consultants, including Conservation International, ESS Environment, Field Museum, Iwokrama Centre for Rainforest Conservation and Development, Macaulay Library, Smithsonian Institution, South Rupununi Conservation Society, SRK Consulting, and WWF.  He is an associate of the Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science, and is currently based at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.
