Tarwater received a B.S. in Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology from the University of California, Davis in 1999, an M.S. in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in 2006, and a Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in 2010. She completed postdoctoral training at the University of California, Berkeley from 2010 through 2012, and the University of British Columbia, Vancouver from 2013 through 2014.[1]
Research
Tarwater has been studying the development of novel ecosystems in Oʻahu, Hawaii since 2014.[2] Her research emphasizes the importance of invasive species in maintaining novel ecosystems.[2][3] Tarwater additionally leads the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute's biannual bird census in Panama.[4] This research advances knowledge in ornithology, for example by developing methods to identify black-crowned antshrikes' ages by their songs.[5] This research also yields knowledge into the effects of climate change, for example by investigating the effectiveness of protected rainforests at limiting biodiversity loss.[6]
Awards and honors
Tarwater received the Ned K. Johnson Early Investigator Award in 2013[7] and the Brina Kessel Award in 2020[8] from the American Ornithological Society. In 2023, she was appointed the Robert B. Berry Distinguished Chair in Ecology at the University of Wyoming.[9]
