SUMMARY:Exploring Bird Evolution Across Geography and Genomes
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Andre Moncrieff\, Assistant Curator of Ornithology\, Sam Noble Museum\, and Assistant Professor of Biology\, University of Oklahoma  \nDr. Andre Moncrieff is an evolutionary biologist and curator of birds at the Sam Noble Museum. In this talk\, he will explore how genetic research is helping to untangle the evolutionary history of tropical birds\, following their stories from the vast Amazon Basin to the cloud forests of the Andes. Along the way\, you will hear about fieldwork in remote regions\, discover remarkable species\, and see how cutting-edge genetic tools are revealing how new species form and change over time.  \n

SUMMARY:Resilience and Risk: Mammal Responses to a Changing Planet
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Hayley Lanier\, Associate Curator of Mammalogy\, Sam Noble Museum\, and Associate Professor of Biology\, University of Oklahoma  \nWe live in a time of accelerated environmental change\, with organisms forced to shift their ranges\, adapt to new pressures\, or face extinction. As archives of biodiversity\, museums are especially well situated for understanding these organismal responses. In this lecture\, Dr. Hayley Lanier will discuss how we use museum specimens to understand and track these changes\, and what they can reveal about the potential for mammals to successfully persist.
