Stamps' research focuses on conservation ecology and ethology. Specifically, her research has centered on behavioral ecology, habitat selection, animal personality, plasticity in lizard communication, and implications of developmental processes for problems in behavioral ecology and conservation biology.

Education

Stamps completed her Bachelor's (BA) at the University of California, Berkeley in 1969, majoring in Zoology. She then continued her studies and completed her Masters of Science (M.Sc.) in 1971 and Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) in 1974 at the same university. [1]

Scientific contribution and honors/awards

Stamps received the ‘’Distinguished Animal Behaviorist’’ award from the Animal Behavior Society (ABS) in 2007.

She has also received the Allee Award (ABS 1972), Fellow Award (AAAS 1983, ABS 1991), Exemplar Award (ABS 1994), and the Mildred Mathias Award (1999).[ citation needed ]

Cyclura is a genus of lizards in the family Iguanidae. Member species of this genus are commonly known as "cycluras" and only occur on islands in the West Indies. Rock iguanas have a high degree of endemism, with a single species or subspecies originating on an individual island.

Margaret Bryan Davis is an American palynologist and paleoecologist, who used pollen data to study the vegetation history of the past 21,000 years. She showed conclusively that temperate- and boreal-forest species migrated at different rates and in different directions while forming a changing mosaic of communities. Early in her career, she challenged the standard methods and prevailing interpretations of the data and fostered rigorous analysis in palynology. As a leading figure in ecology and paleoecology, she served as president of the Ecological Society of America and the American Quaternary Association and as chair of the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior at the University of Minnesota. In 1982 she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and, in 1993, received the Eminent Ecologist Award from the Ecological Society of America.
