Lesley Brooker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lesley Brooker is an Australian ornithologist based in Western Australia following retirement from a career with the CSIRO's Division of Wildlife Research. There she worked, as a database manager and computer modeller, on developing methodologies for the re-design and restoration of agricultural lands for bird conservation. Since then she has collaborated with her husband Michael Brooker in studies on cuckoo evolution, population ecology of fairy-wrens[1] and spatial dynamics of birds in fragmented landscapes. In 2004 she was awarded, jointly with her husband Michael, the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union's D.L. Serventy Medal which recognizes excellence in published work on birds in the Australasian region.
