Edward
H. Burtt, Jr., Professor
Ph.D. and M.S. University of Wisconsin-Madison
A.B. Bowdoin College.
Jed's life-long interest in birds led him into ornithology, the teaching
profession, and concern for environmental issues. His research on the
microbiology of feathers lead to his discovery of feather-degrading
bacteria on wild birds, new insights into the evolution of avian coloration
and patents on a process to breakup feather-waste from the poultry
industry.

L. Downing, Associate Professor
Ph.D. and M.S. University of Chicago
B.A. Lawrence University
Amy Downing is interested in understanding the causes and consequences
of biological diversity. Her research focuses on the functional

losses of biodiversity might alter an ecosystem’s ability to recover
from human disturbances. Amy Downing’s interests in biological diversity
and its preservation are also reflected in her teaching. She currently
teaches Conservation Biology, Marine Biology, Invertebrate Zoology,
and Animals and Their Environment.
