SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Nonhuman artists? Multidisciplinary and Multispecies Accounts of the Origin of Art
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “Nonhuman Artists? Multidisciplinary and Multispecies Accounts of the Origin of Art“\nSpeakers: Dr. Deirdre Smith\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History  \nThis event will take place Monday\, April 10 at Noon online via Zoom. \nAbstract: Do animals other than humans make what some humans call “art”? What might other animals’ behaviors reveal about art’s “origins”? These are questions that scholars in the sciences and humanities have been actively approaching for at least a century\, and that resonate with longer\, global histories of philosophy and religion. This presentation will introduce and invite discussion of the tendencies\, ironies and implications of this scholarship\, focusing on two primary case studies: nonhuman primate painting and drawing studies; and writing on bowerbirds that claims bowermaking as an artform.\n. \nRegister Now

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. 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. Learn more about Carnegie Discoverers and how to join.

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Sleuthing on Cryptic Mammals at Powdermill Nature Reserve: Bobcats & Coyotes & Bears\, Oh My!
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “Sleuthing on Cryptic Mammals at Powdermill Nature Reserve: Bobcats & Coyotes & Bears\, Oh My!“\nSpeakers: Dr. Jan Janecka\, Duquesne University  \nThis event will take place Monday\, April 24 at Noon online via Zoom. \nAbstract: Pennsylvania experienced removal of forest habitat and alterations associated with open pit mining. Starting in the 1960s\, pressure on forests was alleviated leading to regeneration across much of Pennsylvania. This contributed to the recovery of many mammals in the Laurel Highlands\, such as the bobcat\, as well as influx of species that historically did not occur here\, such as the coyote. The legacy of mining continues to affect diversity. Powdermill Nature Reserve is an excellent study site to address these dynamics as it encompasses the remains of an abandoned open pit mine. There are plans for mine reclamation to take place. How has this pit mine effected mammal diversity and movement? How will the changes associated with the reclamation affect mammals? These are important questions to address not only for Laurel Highlands\, but more broadly for the ecosystems of the mid-Atlantic region and beyond. Mammals including bobcats\, coyotes\, and black bears\, as well as prey species\, were surveyed in open pit mine and control plots at Powdermill using camera traps. Comparisons provide insight on how abandoned open pit mines affect mammal diversity and habitat use. The data collected also provides an opportunity to understand changes that will occur after the reclamation.\n. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: 10 Things I Hate About 'Nature\,' or a Political Ecology of Conservation
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: “10 Things I Hate About ‘Nature\,’ or a Political Ecology of Conservation“\nSpeakers: Dr. Noah Theriault\, Carnegie Mellon University  \nThis event will take place Monday\, May 8 at Noon in person in Earth Theater and online via Zoom. \nAbstract: “Nature” and “natural” are part of our everyday vocabulary\, but we rarely pause to ask what exactly these words mean. How we define them reveals as much about our own worldviews as about anything else. Our beliefs\, social identities\, occupations\, and idiosyncrasies are all implicated in how we differentiate what is natural from what is anthropogenic\, artificial\, unnatural\, supernatural\, deviant\, or mutant. This distinction—between nature and its antonyms—pervades our social structures and political debates even as it evades our critical reflection. Using the principles of political ecology to examine biodiversity conservation in the Philippines\, this seminar will push us to consider how conceptions of nature shape our relations with ourselves\, with one another\, and with the world around us\, often in ways that unintentionally reproduce social and ecological harm. In order to love and respect nature\, we must confront some of the troubling things done in its name.\n. \nRegister Now

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. 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. Learn more about Carnegie Discoverers and how to join.

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. 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. Learn more about Carnegie Discoverers and how to join.
