Early life and educationLawrence was born on July 30, 1909, in Boston to Theodora (née Eldredge) and Harris Hooper Lawrence, their third child. She married William E. Schevill on December 23, 1938, while still attending Vassar College, where she was awarded a bachelor's degree in 1931.[1][2] Career and researchAfter taking a position as the Curator of Mammals at the MCZ, she took her first trip to do field research on the howler monkeys of East Africa, where she returned on other trips. In 1936 and 1937, she traveled to the Philippines and Sumatra to study bats. She collaborated with her husband, William Schevill, on studies of cetacean communication and echolocation, where they made the first recordings of porpoise and whale calls, forming in many ways the founding framework for “literally hundreds of scientific studies produced by other workers from the 1960s until the present day."[3][4] While working at Harvard, she pioneered the practice of collecting full skeletons of mammals. She also traveled to Nyasaland (modern-day Malawi) in her field studies of mammals. Lawrence did field work in New Mexico and Iraq on the evolution of domesticated animals, and later went to Turkey to study fossil dogs there.[1][2] She was especially known for her work in canids:[5] her 1967 collaboration with William Bossert on the genus Canis was noted for its innovative application of statistics to evolutionary and ecological questions.[6] LegacyBarbara Lawrence died in 1997, three years after her husband's death and survived by her daughter, Lee, and son, Edward.[7] The Society of Ethnobiology awards the Lawrence Award each year to a promising graduate student in ethnobiology.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite book|title=The Biographical Dictionary of Women in Science: Pioneering Lives from Ancient Times to the Mid-Twentieth Century|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QmfyK0QtsRAC|publisher=Taylor & Francis|date=2000-07-27|isbn=9780203801451|first=Joyce|last=Harvey|first2=Marilyn|last2=Ogilvie}} {{Authority control}}{{Harvard|state=collapsed}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Lawrence, Barbara}}2. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web|title=BARBARA LAWRENCE (1909–1997) {{!}} Society of Ethnobiology|url=https://ethnobiology.org/awards/barbara-lawrence-award/about-barbara-lawrence|website=ethnobiology.org|accessdate=2015-10-17}} 3. ^BACKUS, R.
