SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Integrating the living and the dead: how functional traits can improve our understanding of early Cenozoic fern evolution
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: Integrating the living and the dead: how functional traits can improve our understanding of early Cenozoic fern evolution\nSpeaker: Molly Ng\, Carnegie Museum of Natural History \nAbstract:Plants have different economic strategies to grow\, survive\, and reproduce. In leaves\, these strategies are important in producing energy for the entire plant. Leaf mass per area (LMA)\, the ratio of leaf area to dry mass\, is one way we can compare different strategies and has been shown to provide valuable insights about relative growth rates\, productivity of plants within their environment\, and even evolution. Ferns are important environmental and ecological indicators yet are not as well studied as angiosperms. The majority of modern ferns are considered ecological opportunists\, hypothesized to have evolved as a response to angiosperm dominance ~55 million years ago\, which also coincides with early Cenozoic climatic events. It is unclear whether ecological opportunity or climate is responsible for modern fern radiation\, but LMA may provide insights into ecological opportunity. Using collections\, both living (Powdermill Nature Reserve) and dead (herbarium and fossil specimens)\, Molly Ng estimates LMA across ferns to test whether “new” ferns strategize differently from “old” ferns. She determines plant response to atmospheric carbon dioxide and temperature\, and tests phylogenetic conservation of traits across lineages. Finally\, she introduces the work she is doing with fossils\, which will ultimately improve our understanding of trait evolution and function within ferns.\n. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Science and Nature Lecture with Matt Lamanna
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we explore natural history phenomena at 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. \nOver the past 25 years\, paleontological field explorations in Patagonia\, Argentina 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 predatory dinosaurs characterized by low and elongate skulls\, extensively air-filled bones\, and\, most strikingly\, powerfully built forelimbs tipped with enormous claws on the innermost two fingers. In this lecture\, Dr. Lamanna will present several of he and his Argentine collaborators’ recent megaraptorid discoveries and their implications for scientific understanding of the anatomy\, evolutionary relationships\, and lifestyles of these mysterious Cretaceous carnivores. Among these finds are two new\, exceptionally preserved megaraptorid partial skeletons that\, once fully analyzed\, promise to significantly enhance our knowledge of these distinctive dinosaurs. \n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”111233″] \nProgram participants and visitors are expected to adhere to the public health guidance and Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh procedures in place at the time of their visit.

SUMMARY:Educator Webinar: Specimens\, Artifacts and Adventure: Supporting All Learners During Pandemic Disruptions
DESCRIPTION:Two years ago\, as Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) and partner educational organizations experienced lockdowns\, staff furloughs\, and other COVID-19 related disruptions\, continued communication with the teachers and other educators we had long served informed decisions about necessary and frequently drastic program adjustments. In this three-segment session\, presenters from Carnegie Museum of Natural History and Tree Pittsburgh\, an environmental non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the city’s urban forest\, will share lessons learned about engaging neuro-atypical learners in virtual space\, overcoming the challenge of gaining and retaining the attention of scattered remote audience members\, and how the primacy of authentic objects in learning is not diminished through a virtual interface. Time for participant questions will be provided. \nAvailable for one hour of Professional Development credit! \nLearn more and register for the free webinar on Share My Lesson! \n\nPresenters\n\n\nPatrick McSheaProgram OfficerCarnegie Museum of Natural History\n\nJoe StavishAssociate Director of EducationTree Pittsburgh\n\n\n\nMandi LyonProgram Manager: School & Group ProgramsCarnegie Museum of Natural History\n\nJohn BitsuraProgram Manager: Offsite ProgramsCarnegie Museum of Natural History

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Eavesdropping on wildlife: Realizing the potential of autonomous acoustic surveys for ecology and conservation biology
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: Eavesdropping on wildlife: Realizing the potential of autonomous acoustic surveys for ecology and conservation biology\nSpeaker: Tessa Rhinehart\, University of Pittsburgh \nAbstract:: In an era of rapid global change\, it is critically important to understand how anthropogenic actions like habitat disturbance and restoration affect wildlife populations. Ecologists and conservation biologists are increasingly applying autonomous survey methods to study these questions at large scales. Autonomous surveys involve using passive sensors such as camera traps and autonomous acoustic recorders to gather data on the species present in a location. To interpret the large data sets that such sensors produce\, many practitioners are turning to machine learning algorithms that can identify the species captured in these data.\nHowever\, these machine learning-driven approaches come with several drawbacks. For example\, algorithms regularly misidentify species and their accuracy can differ between datasets. Interpreting this error-prone output poses challenges that this work aims to address. This talk will describe three case studies applying autonomous acoustic recorders to study bird populations. It will identify common obstacles in using such approaches and discuss how to overcome these obstacles to test ecological theories and conserve biodiversity in a changing world. \n. \nRegister Now
