Tony Diamond studied the breeding biology of tropical seabirds in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean in the late 1960s through the mid-1970s and would love to do so again. His discovery of the unique breeding cycles of Magnificent Frigatebirds remains a career highlight. He received his Ph.D. from Aberdeen University, Scotland, for studies of seabird biology on Aldabra Atoll, Indian Ocean. Postdoctoral work with David Lack at Oxford University included his study of frigatebirds on Barbuda; later he ran Cousin Island, Seychelles, for International Council for Bird Preservation (now BirdLife International) and taught zoology at the University of Nairobi for four years. In 1983 he left the Edward Grey Institute of Ornithology in Oxford and came with his family to Canada, where he worked for the Canadian Wildlife Service in Ottawa and later in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Since 1994 he has been Senior Chair of the Atlantic Cooperative Wildlife Ecology Research Network, based at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton. There he supervises graduate students working on forest birds, seabirds, and waterfowl. Tony has been President of the Society of Canadian Ornithologists, representing them on the Ornithological Council, and is a member of the Seabird Research Committee of the International Ornithological Congress.

Betty Anne Schreiber received her Ph.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles, working on energetics and breeding biology of Red-tailed Tropicbirds. She is currently a Research Associate at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. Prior to that she was a Research Associate at the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History for 18 years. She has studied the breeding biology and ecology of seabirds in many areas of the world for over 30 years. She is carrying out long-term research on the breeding biology and ecology of the pelecaniformes of Johnston Atoll (1983 to present) and Christmas Island (Pacific Ocean, 1979 to present). In 1982, she and her late husband, Ralph, were the first researchers to document the devastating effects of El Niño events on seabirds outside the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. Betty Anne has served on the governing council of the Cooper Ornithological Society and the Waterbird Society, and serves on the Board of the Ornithological Council and on the Policy Council of American Bird Conservancy.
