SUMMARY:The tales teeth tell: Using dental histology to explore vertebrate life histories
DESCRIPTION:Anne Marie Sohler-Snoddy\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Anne Marie Sohler-Snoddy \n\n\n\nVisiting From: University of North Carolina Greensboro \n\n\n\nTopic: The tales teeth tell: Using dental histology to explore vertebrate life histories \n\n\n\nHost: Malcolm Schug \n\n\n\n\nThe formation of dental tissues follows a rhythmic developmental chronology\, and\, unlike bone and soft tissues\, in humans and many other mammals they do not remodel during life. A wealth of information about an individual’s life-course from gestation to the completion of tooth development can be unlocked through dental histology\, including survived episodes of physiological stress and periods of nutritional deficiency. This seminar will provide an introduction to dental histology and highlight some of its applications for understanding stress and resilience in vertebrate populations\, past and present. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar will be held in person and shared through Microsoft Teams. Parking is available in the McIver Street Parking Deck. \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 266 117 515 316 9 \n\n\n\nPasscode: Hq9R2j2z \n\n\n\nOur Seminars cover a broad range of topics from various fields of Biology and are open to the public! For accessibility accommodations\, contact bio@uncg.edu \n\n\n\nAffiliates may contact Akira Terui for information (a_terui@uncg.edu).

SUMMARY:Trait data resources for understanding mammalian response to changing environments
DESCRIPTION:Bryan S. McLean\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Bryan S. McLean \n\n\n\nVisiting From: University of North Carolina Greensboro \n\n\n\nTopic: Trait data resources for understanding mammalian response to changing environments \n\n\n\nHost: Malcolm Schug \n\n\n\n\nMonitoring life on a changing planet requires open and continuously updated biodiversity data and a workforce capable of leveraging these for trend analysis and prediction. But\, which data? And what kind of workforce training? This talk will discuss my lab’s use of phenotypic traits as windows into mammalian growth\, survival\, and reproduction\, and our field- and museum-based approach to answering trait-based questions. First\, I will present work on energetically expensive traits that are seasonally plastic in small mammals\, including body size\, brain size\, and gastrointestinal size and form. Developing new trait proxies and deploying them in local ecosystems has provided exciting insights in small mammal biology in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Second\, I will discuss the limited landscape of open trait data for mammals globally and highlight my leadership of a consortium of North American mammal collections in digitizing specimen-level traits. Liberating historical trait data is massively scaling up our understanding of life history trade-offs and response to change across North America. Finally\, I will discuss the overarching importance of the UNCG Biodiversity Collections for this work and how combining fieldwork and specimen-based research is introducing a new generation of STEM students at UNCG to ecological and evolutionary concepts through data-rich biodiversity science. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Seminar will be held in person and shared on Microsoft Teams. Parking is available in the McIver Street Parking Deck. \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 249 460 363 763 4 \n\n\n\nPasscode: xR2u5rr3 \n\n\n\nOur Seminars cover a broad range of topics from various fields of Biology and are open to the public!

SUMMARY:Merging theory and data to disentangle freshwater biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Akira Terui\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Akira Terui \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisiting From: University of North Carolina Greensboro \n\n\n\nTopic: Merging theory and data to disentangle freshwater biodiversity \n\n\n\nHost: Malcolm Schug \n\n\n\n\nUnderstanding ecological systems requires both theoretical modeling and field-based observation. Theory provides predictive frameworks for how ecosystems might respond to environmental gradients under specific scenarios\, while field data are essential for testing and refining these predictions\, grounding them in biological reality. Although theory and empirical observation are often pursued separately\, their integration offers a powerful approach to addressing key ecological questions. In this talk\, I will present case studies that illustrate the strength of this combined methodology. \n\n\n\n\nThis seminar will be held in person and shared through Microsoft Teams. Parking is available in the McIver Street Parking Deck. \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 236 416 958 703 7 \n\n\n\nPasscode: h6nT6rJ6 \n\n\n\nOur Seminars cover a broad range of topics from various fields of Biology and are open to the public!
