Edward M. Barrows
Edward M. Barrows (born August 8, 1946, in Detroit, Michigan) is a biologist who earned his BS in Botany and Zoology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1968, and his PhD in entomology, mentored by Charles Duncan Michener, at the University of Kansas, Lawrence in 1975. Further, he is a retired U.S. Army officer. He has had a lifetime interest in nature, science, and art. He performed research on bee nesting, predation, and reproductive behavior, for example, finding that female ''Lasioglossum zephyrum'' sweat bees have individual odors perceived by conspecific males. This was evidently the first discovery of invertebrate individual odors, as opposed to group or nest odors. He later found that males of the ''Xylocopa virginica virginica'' (large carpenter bee) have highly complex mate searching and mate-acquisition behaviors, perhaps more complicated that any other bee species and many other animal species. Students and he studied feeding behavior and recovery from injuries in ''Mimus polyglottos'' (northern mockingbirds). With students and established scientists, he studied or is studying arthropod community structure in a rare, freshwater, tidal, marsh, and associated habitats,〔 (About Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve, VA)〕 evolution of floral display in ''Asclepias syriaca'' (common milkweed), parasitization and reproductive behavior of chalcidoid wasps, floral associates of rare plants, and other topics. His research in scientific communication led to the book ''Animal Desk Reference, A Dictionary of Animal Behavior, Ecology, and Evolution'' (3rd edition). His current research laboratory, the Laboratory of Entomology and Biodiversity, is in the Heyden Observatory of Georgetown University.
He has written popular-style nature articles, for example, for ''The Kansas City Star'' and ''The Washington Star'' and ''The Echo'' (the Glen Echo, Maryland, town newsletter). In his popular-style book ''Nature, Gardens, and Georgetown'' (2006), he described biodiversity and changes in the natural environment at Georgetown University and nearby places.
At the college level, he taught animal behavior, botany, entomology, earth stewardship, forest ecology, history of life, and sociobiology at Georgetown University, University of Kansas, and University of Michigan. He has been a professor in the Department of Biology at Georgetown, since 1975, where he mentored many undergraduate senior-thesis students, MS, and PhD students.
