SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Understanding the Mid-Atlantic Flora...One Specimen at a Time
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: Understanding the Mid-Atlantic Flora…One Specimen at a Time\nSpeakers: Cindy Skema\, Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania \nPlant collections and their archiving in herbaria form a cornerstone in the foundation of plant science studies. We will discuss the why\, how\, and where of this work\, as well as the process of digitization\, i.e.\, how we bring these invaluable specimens into the digital realm. The Mid-Atlantic Megalopolis (MAM) Project\, a National Science Foundation funded collaboration between 13 institutions including Carnegie Museum of Natural History\, has enabled the digitization of >1.2 million specimens since 2016 and the creation of a virtual consortium of herbaria throughout the Mid-Atlantic. I will introduce the project\, its participants\, and outcomes. We will end with a consideration of Ripariosida hermaphrodita (Virginia mallow)\, a case study that uses MAM data to better understand the biology of a plant that is threatened in the Mid-Atlantic region. \nPhoto description:\nClose-up of a high resolution image of an herbarium specimen of Cornus florida (flowering dogwood)\, taken as part of the MAM Project’s herbarium digitization efforts.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Dead shells speak: detecting unsuspected ecosystem change without being there
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: Dead shells speak: detecting unsuspected ecosystem change without being there\nSpeaker: Susan Kidwell\, University of Chicago \nAbstract:One of the major challenges for environmental management and conservation biology is simply discovering ‘what was natural’ before human impacts. This problem is especially pressing in marine systems\, where biological monitoring and other records are brief or lacking. This question can be tackled locally in a geologically common-sensical way. First\, we compare local dead-shell assemblages — sieved from the surface mixed layer — to a census of the local living community\, identifying which species occur only as dead individuals (suggesting their populations have waned) and those that occur only alive\, despite having mineralized tissues that should leave a trace\, suggesting they are new arrivals to the habitat or region. We can then “age un-mix” the dead-shell assemblage using radiocarbon or other methods\, which permits us to establish when taxa declined (or increased) relative to local timelines of natural and cultural stressors. This simple approach\, strongly supported by meta-analysis and mechanistic modeling\, provides a powerful tool for recognizing ecological change retrospectively. Importantly\, it has the power to exonerate as well as to incriminate human activities. The method will be illustrated with some case studies from around the world.\n. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Moriarty Science Seminar: Working the Face: Integrative Evolutionary Morphology & Physiology in the Mammalian Face
DESCRIPTION:R.W. Moriarty Science Seminar Presents: Working the Face: Integrative Evolutionary Morphology & Physiology in the Mammalian Face\nSpeaker: Anne Burrows\, Duquesne University \nAbstract:Faces are ubiquitous in the mammalian and general vertebrate clades. However\, our understanding of the evolutionary morphology and physiology of the face remains unclear. We have many paleontological pieces of evidence for how the bony and dental aspects of mammalian faces changed over time\, especially in regard to dietary functions\, brain development\, and even the hearing and vestibular mechanisms. Similar evidence for the muscles of facial expression\, the “mimetic muscles”\, and associated connective tissue are lacking. This talk integrates evidence from the fossil record\, comparative anatomy\, physiology\, biomechanics\, plastic surgery\, genetics\, social networks\, and artificial intelligence to understand the evolution of the mammalian face.\n. \nRegister Now
