SUMMARY:Science and Nature Program and Nature Explorers
DESCRIPTION:A Tale of Two Stations: What We’ve Learned from Nearly 60 Years of Bird Banding\nAnnie Lindsay\, Banding Program Manager at Powdermill Avian Research Center\, studies how songbird populations are changing over time and how birds might be coping with or adapting to these changes. Although birds have been migrating for many millennia\, they are now facing increased threats from humans\, including invasive species\, habitat loss\, and a steadily warming global climate. When an animal’s ability to forage or breed is disrupted (either positively or negatively)\, the consequences carry over into subsequent seasons and can affect an individual’s survival\, ultimately influencing a species’ population. Annie’s research is based on data collected at Powdermill Nature Reserve\, which has run a year-round banding station since 1961\, and at Black Swamp Bird Observatory\, which has been banding birds during migration in northwest Ohio since 1992.  \nFollowing Our Feathered Friends\nIt’s fall migration season\, and that means many birds are heading south for the winter! Why do they do that? How? What makes them get up and go\, and what does Powdermill have to do with it all? Come discover the answers to these questions and more in this hands-on exploration of avian migration. After the activity\, we will hit the trail in search of our feathered friends.

SUMMARY:Rethinking the museum specimen in the digital age
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mason Heberling\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History \nNatural history collections are receiving unprecedented attention due to recently developed tools\, new perspectives\, and perhaps most notably\, their increased accessibility through widespread digitization. With nearly 390 million plant specimens collected by thousands of botanists over nearly five centuries in museums worldwide\, herbaria (collections of preserved dead plants) comprise an enormous resource for understanding the world around us. These collections were historically established and maintained primarily for taxonomic study (the classification and naming of life) and related uses. Though their longstanding functions remain relevant\, museum specimens are increasingly being used in novel and unanticipated ways by a diverse array of disciplines. Mason Heberling will discuss the past\, present\, and future of herbarium specimen use\, highlighting examples from his latest research on invasive species and climate change. In addition to maximizing our use of existing collections\, an open re-evaluation of the very collection event itself is needed to ensure we are effectively documenting our rapidly changing world. The use of digital observations and community science platforms\, such as iNaturalist\, provide a powerful approach to enhance the research value of specimens. As we enter the Anthropocene\, a new geological epoch marked by global environmental changes\, herbaria have likewise entered a new era with enhanced scientific\, educational\, and societal relevance.

SUMMARY:3.5 Billion Years of Microbial Community Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: John Stoltz\, Center for Environmental Research and Education at Duquesne University \nLife has existed on Earth for over 3.5 billion years. We know this through the preserved remains of microorganisms\, as microfossils and microbialites such as microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) and stromatolites. Over half of the elements in the periodic table have some biological role\, many with complex biogeochemical cycles that are microbially mediated. The global microbiome encompasses a wide range of environments including deep in the Earth’s crust\, with an estimated population of ~1030 cells and more than a trillion species. Deep sequencing projects have revealed hitherto unknown phyla and “microbial dark matter.” The discoveries of conductive pili and cable bacteria have shown that microbes can transfer electrons to and from external sources (a process known as electrotrophy)\, sometimes over significant distances. This talk focuses on John Stolz’s research on metal munching microbes and the microbial communities of living stromatolites from the Bahamas and Shark Bay\, Australia. Stolz will discuss how the intimate interactions of microbes with their environment that started way back in the Archean has helped forge the world we know today.

SUMMARY:Stream Ecology in a Changing World: a Multi-Scale Approach to Evaluating Threats to Water Quality
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andy Turner\, Professor of Biology and Geoscience\, Clarion University \nPennsylvania holds more than 80\,000 miles of flowing water\, ranging from small streams to large rivers.  These systems are buffeted by an array of environmental challenges.  An overview of the research aimed at understanding the consequences of these perturbations will be provided.  The approaches span a variety of spatial scales and the need for multiple methodologies in studying ecological systems.  The results show that streams and rivers are resilient to some forms of environmental change and yet sensitive to others\, highlighting the importance of continued research.
