SUMMARY:Carnegie Discoverers: Looking Closely: Lessons from the Carnegie's "Natural History Art" Collection
DESCRIPTION:Deirdre M. Smith\, Teaching Assistant Professor of Museum Studies\, University of Pittsburgh; Assistant Curator\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History \nIn 1973\, the “M. Graham Netting Animal Portraiture Collection” was established through a grant by the Scaife Family Charitable Trusts. In the years that followed\, Graham Netting—former Director and Curator of Amphibians and Reptiles at CMNH used these funds to build an eccentric collection of hundreds of prints\, drawings\, paintings\, photographs\, and archival ephemera by CMNH staff\, scientists\, naturalists\, illustrators\, and other makers. This talk will share images and stories from the collection\, exploring what it can teach audiences today about the history of the museum\, and the history of art and science.  \nThis is a Carnegie Discoverers meeting. Membership to the Carnegie Discoverers opens doors to in-depth and up-close experiences with scientists\, exhibition designers\, and program directors across the museum. Become a member today to enjoy exclusive access to all the world-class scientific and educational treasures that Carnegie Museum of Natural History has to offer.

SUMMARY:Carnegie Discoverers: Collections and Anthropogenic Change: The Link Between Acquiring New Specimens and Deciphering the Impacts of Land Use and Climate Changes on Amphibians
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer A. Sheridan\, PhD\, Assistant Curator\, Amphibians and Reptiles\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History  \nCurators build collections for a number of reasons\, from documenting biodiversity to deciphering evolutionary relationships among species.  A discussion of a recent visit to north Borneo will highlight some notable new additions to the Section of Amphibians and Reptiles’ collection\, and will share preliminary results of a larger question\, namely how does land-use change impact the relationship between primary productivity and biodiversity?  The importance of this question\, along with other new additions to the Museum collections for future research\, will be presented.  \nThis is a Carnegie Discoverers meeting.

SUMMARY:Carnegie Discoverers: Can Conservation Areas Support People and Biodiversity? A Case-study of Biocultural Stewardship in the Hawaiian Islands
DESCRIPTION:Nicole Heller\, PhD\, Associate Curator\,\nAnthropocene\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History  \nProtected areas are designed to protect biodiversity\, but they are also linked to the dispossession of land and lifeways for local and indigenous people.  To improve conservation\, scientists and local and indigenous people are collaborating to revitalize place-based stewardship traditions and restore land and community health.  A case study of Hawaiian’aina stewardship and how it is responding to contemporary struggles related to water scarcity\, over-tourism\, invasive species\, and Hawaiian sovereignty politics and\, more generally\, the importance of land stewardship for effective and just conservation in the Anthropocene will be discussed.  \nThis is a Carnegie Discoverers meeting.

SUMMARY:Carnegie Discoverers: Understanding Diversity at Multiple Trophic Levels by Integrating DNA Metabarcoding and Photo Captures; from the Himalayas to the Laurel Highlands
DESCRIPTION:Jan Janecke\, PhD\, Research Associate\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History\, Associate Professor\, Biological Sciences\, Duquesne University  \nMany mammals are cryptic and difficult to study\, particularly felids and canids.  Genetics and camera trapping are two very different approaches that shed light on the ecology of carnivores\, from the snow leopard and wolf on the Tibetan Plateau to the bobcat and coyote in Appalachia.  At Powdermill Nature Reserve\, DNA metabarcoding and photo captures are being integrated to study ecological communities in the Laurel Highlands.  Among the main goals are to understand recovery from open pit mining\, effectiveness of land reclamation\, as well as how environmental and biological factors influence bobcats\, coyotes\, their prey\, and community diversity. \nThis is a Carnegie Discoverers meeting.

SUMMARY:Carnegie Discoverers: The Panoply of Powdermill Activity: Research\, Education\, Exploration
DESCRIPTION:Rose-Marie Muzika\, PhD\, Director of Science\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History  \nFormer museum director Dr. M. Graham Netting once characterized Powdermill Nature Reserve as “ideally suited to the study of plant and animal life\,” a promise which it continues to fulfill today. Studies over time have yielded valuable long-term data about birds\, small mammals\, forest vegetation\, amphibians\, and reptiles. Powdermill staff have contributed to understanding of the effects of climate on migration patterns\, the response of forest vegetation to natural disturbance\, details about insect biodiversity\, invasive plants\, and countless other ecological phenomena. From 1956 to modern day\, Powdermill remains perfectly poised to satisfy many more goals than Director Netting could have imagined. \nThis is a Carnegie Discoverers meeting.

SUMMARY:Carnegie Discoverers: Plant and Climate Change: Predicting the Future by Looking to the Past
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Benjamin R. Lee\, PhD\, National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow\, Holden Arboretum\, University of Pittsburgh; Botany\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History  \nClimate change poses one of the largest existential threats to natural systems. In North American temperate forests\, hotter\, drier summers are expected to negatively impact plant performance directly\, while changing conditions are also likely to influence species’ interactions. Research exploring the ways in which climate change will affect interactions among temperate forest species\, with special emphasis on plant-plant and plant-fungal interactions\, will be presented.  Of importance will be how the historical plant specimens collected by global herbaria can be used to gain insight into the future of temperate forests. \nThis is a Carnegie Discoverers meeting.
