   abstract: "Having previously held positions with the American Museum of Natural\
     \ History (New York) and the Australian National Wildlife Collection (Canberra),\
     \ as well as an adjunct position with the US National Museum of Natural History\
     \ (Smithsonian). Terry's research focuses on the systematics, diversity, conservation,\
     \ and management of birds.He uses genetic and genomic techniques to study the\
     \ systematics, diversity, conservation, and management of birds. His contributions\
     \ to avian taxonomy and conservation also include chairmanship of the AOS Committee\
     \ on Classification and Nomenclature (North America), which provides a standardized\
     \ avian taxonomy for use by public agencies and private individuals and organizations.Current\
     \ projects include studies of:genomic variation in Bewick\u2019s Wren (Thryomanes\
     \ bewickii) and Hutton\u2019s Vireo (Vireo huttoni) on the Channel Islands,\

     \ Park and private lands on multiple scientific issuesgenomic variation in the\
