SUMMARY:Science and Nature Lecture with Mason Heberling
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we explore seasonal natural history phenomena of Powdermill Nature Reserve! A lecture will be given in the Parker Room at 2 pm\, followed by a short outdoor exploration. Lectures are structured for adult audiences\, and children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Pre-registration is required as space is limited\, and masks are required inside the Nature Center. \nLecture: “Hang in there: spring flowers and winter leaves” \nAssistant Curator of Botany Dr. Mason Heberling will talk about his work on the impacts of our changing climate and introduced species on our forest wildflowers. He will also talk about a project at Powdermill on those deciduous leaves that remain on branches in winter\, a phenomenon known as marcescence.  The talk will end with a hike\, looking for winter leaves and signs of spring wildflowers. \n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”111232″]

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Rethinking Plant Heat Tolerances and Photosynthetic Strategies of Tropical Plants
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: Rethinking Plant Heat Tolerances and Photosynthetic Strategies of Tropical Plants\nSpeakers: Timothy Perez \n \nStomata and leaf size thermoregulatory traits\, a thermograph of leaves\, and a tropical forest. \nAbstract: As climate changes so too do the compositions of terrestrial plant communities that sequester carbon and mitigate climate change. However\, the physiological mechanisms underpinning these changes are unclear. To understand these mechanisms\, Perez and collaborators studied the photosynthetic heat tolerances (PHTs) and carbon assimilation strategies of tropical plants. In this talk he discusses their findings\, which suggest that scientists need to rethink how PHTs are measured and assumed to influence plant performance. He also presents research that highlights how plant PHTs are unlikely to improve carbon assimilation at high temperatures\, but may characterize thermal generalists with slow resource acquisition strategies. Finally\, he presents a case-study using the genus Scalesia\, endemic to the Galapagos\, that indicates how climate selects for different photosynthetic strategies. \nBio: Timothy grew up in Upstate New York and in 2010 obtained a BSc in plant biology from the University of Vermont. After four years of working for NGO’s\, the Bureau of Land Management\, and as a research assistant\, Timothy started a PhD in the Feeley Lab at the University of Miami. After obtaining his PhD in 2019\, Timothy began a postdoctoral position in the Michaletz Lab at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver\, Canada\, where he is currently a Killam Postdoctoral Scholar. Timothy’s research focuses on how plant ecophysiology can be used to understand plant responses to climate change\, and he is motivated by a desire to develop tools that aid plant conservation. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: The mysterious megaraptorids: giant-clawed meat-eating dinosaurs from the southern continents
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: The mysterious megaraptorids: giant-clawed meat-eating dinosaurs from the southern continents\nSpeakers: Matt Lamanna\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History \nArticulated antebrachium (forearm) and manus (hand) of eponymous megaraptorid Megaraptor namunhuaiquii. The largest\, innermost claw at right is approximately 40 cm (~16 inches) in length. Credit: Wikipedia (raffaele sergi from Pinerolo\, Italia – dinosauri 013 Uploaded by FunkMonk).\n  \nThe field team celebrates the discovery of the most complete adult skeleton of the megaraptorid Megaraptor namunhuaiquii yet found\, on the shore of Lago Barreales\, Neuquén Province\, northern Patagonia\, Argentina. Credit: Matt Lamanna.\nAbstract: Over the past quarter-century\, paleontological field explorations in landmasses that once comprised the Southern Hemisphere supercontinent of Gondwana have yielded fossil finds representing a host of new and unusual dinosaurs. Among the most extraordinary of these are Megaraptoridae\, an enigmatic group of large-bodied\, Cretaceous-aged (~125–66 million-year-old) theropods (generally predatory dinosaurs) characterized by low and elongate skulls\, proportionally small but sharp teeth\, extensively air-filled bones\, and\, most strikingly\, powerfully built forelimbs tipped with enormous claws on the innermost two digits. In this R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar\, Dr. Lamanna will present several of he and his Argentine collaborators’ recent megaraptorid discoveries and their implications for scientific understanding of the anatomy\, phylogenetic relationships\, and paleoecology of these mysterious Cretaceous carnivores. Among these finds are two exceptionally preserved skeletons that cast significant new light on megaraptorid morphology and evolutionary history\, strengthening the hypothesis that these animals are Gondwanan cousins of tyrannosaurids\, the theropod group that includes the notorious Tyrannosaurus rex. \nBio: Matt Lamanna is the Mary R. Dawson Associate Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology and the principal dinosaur researcher at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Born and raised in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York\, he received his B.Sc. from Hobart College in 1997 and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1999 and 2004\, respectively. Within the past 25 years\, he has directed or co-directed field expeditions to Antarctica\, Argentina\, Australia\, China\, Croatia\, Egypt\, and Greenland that have resulted in the discovery of numerous new species of dinosaurs and other fossil animals from the Cretaceous Period\, the third and final time period of the Age of Dinosaurs; indeed\, he is one of only a handful of paleontologists to have found dinosaur fossils on all seven continents. Lamanna served as chief scientific advisor to Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s $36M Dinosaurs in Their Time exhibition and has appeared on television programs for PBS (NOVA)\, the Discovery Channel\, the History Channel\, A&E\, the Science Channel\, and more. \nRegister Now
