SUMMARY:FSUCML Lecture Series - Sherrie Lynch
DESCRIPTION:“What we should know but don’t about native bees” \nSherri Lynch is a Ph.D. Candidate in the School of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Florida (UF). She is currently employed as a Graduate Research Assistant at the North Florida Research and Education Center in Quincy and is responsible for the identification\, curation and cataloging of all bees collected in current research conducted by Dr. Isaac Esquivel of UF. She is the melittologist affiliated with the Alabama Listed Plant Insect Network (ALPIN) and is continuing to work on the publication on the Bees of Alabama. Her love for bees began at an early age and has continued in her research of bees throughout her graduate studies\, focusing on Heserapis oraria\, the Gulf Coast Evening Bee. This native\, endemic bee occurs only along the coastal dunes of the northern Gulf and is only available to study for approximately three weeks each year in the fall. She has studied the phenological relationship between the bee and its sole floral host\, Balduina angustifolia\, its movement throughout the landscape\, and how to train volunteers\, park staff\, and students to monitor the bee during its short flight period. Upon graduation\, she hopes to continue conducting bee surveys\, educating the public about all bees\, and training community scientists about native bee monitoring and ecology to uniquely contribute to useful long-term data sets within the bee research community. \nThis lecture will speak to the importance of learning and appreciating the natural history\, behaviors\, and conservation of native bees with an emphasis on the bees in the U.S. Southeast and North Florida.

SUMMARY:FSUCML Lecture Series - Dr. Evelyn Gaiser
DESCRIPTION:“Through the Looking Glass: Discovering the “hidden” clues about ecosystems from microscopic glass-encased algae.” Dr. Evelyn Gaiser\, Distinguished University Professor of Biological Sciences\, holds the George M. Barley\, Jr.\, Eminent Scholars Chair at Florida International University (FIU). She is an aquatic ecologist whose research is focused on what microscopic algae can tell us about the consequences of climate and land-use change to lakes and wetlands. She has studied the Everglades for over 25 years\, much of this time leading the Florida Coastal Everglades Long-Term Ecological Research program\, a large\, multi-disciplinary program that examines how climate change and resource management decisions interact to determine the future of the Everglades. Gaiser’s research focuses on diatoms – the tiny glass- encased algae whose beautiful ornamentation and shapes not only provide clues about ecosystem health\, but also have attracted and inspired artists for centuries. Her presentation will showcase this captivating underwater microscopic world and explain how diatoms and other “healthy” algae can provide signals of ecosystem changes. If we pay attention to these microscopic signals\, we can act to prevent further changes that can lead to the formation of “unhealthy” or harmful/toxic algae communities. The science of diagnosing the health of ecosystems from diatoms will be interwoven with images from diatom-based art exhibits developed in partnership with professional artists. Please arrive on time! The lecture will start promptly at 7:00 pm\, and the entrance gates will close at 7:30 pm. Thank you!

SUMMARY:FSU Coastal and Marine Lab's Open House
DESCRIPTION:FSUCML’s Open House highlights the importance of improving human awareness of the tight linkages between healthy ecosystems and healthy societies. Think of our local habitats — seagrass meadows\, oyster reefs\, saltmarshes\, and other wetlands that protect their inhabitants\, retain sediments and dampen storm surges\, filter the air and water of pollutants\, and fix carbon\, thereby helping to curtail carbon dioxide buildup in the atmosphere while capturing nutrients for plant growth. \nOur Open House celebrates FSU’s scientists and their graduate students by providing an opportunity to showcase scientific knowledge of the land and sea. Research labs\, public agencies\, and community organizations will present their work\, and great food will be available from local food trucks. \nGather your friends\, family\, neighbors\, and colleagues\, and take a beautiful drive down to the coast for a FREE day of fun! From tiny tots to the most mature adults and those of us who never quite grew up — there will be something to educate\, fascinate\, and entertain everyone! Can’t wait to see you again!

SUMMARY:FSUCML Lecture Series (May 11th at 7:00 pm)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Tara Stewart Merrill is an aquatic disease ecologist who focuses on understanding the causes of pathogen spread in natural systems\, and the consequences of infection for individuals\, populations\, and ecological communities. Fourteen years ago\, Tara left a promising professional career in ballet and modern dance for the dark side—the dark side of parasites and infectious disease. In 2009\, she began her scientific education at the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, where she received her BA in Biology. In 2019\, she completed her PhD at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign focusing on the drivers of fungal epidemics in freshwater plankton. Tara then completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Colorado Boulder. In her new faculty position at the FSU CML\, Tara is investigating 1) the impacts of disease on Apalachicola oysters\, 2) how parasites regulate host populations through lethal and non-lethal effects\, and 3) relationships between biodiversity and infectious disease\, including when parasites serve as indicators of ecosystem health versus warning signs of ecosystem decline. \nIn her lecture\, Tara will dive into the controversy surrounding biodiversity-disease relationships\, including how we can test theory and how we can move toward resolution.

SUMMARY:FSUCML Lecture Series - Dr. Sally D. Hacker
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our second lecture of 2023! March 23\, 2023\, from 7:00 – 8:00 pm at the FSU Coastal and Marine Laboratory. \nDr. Sally D. Hacker will present on “Dune Grasses\, Sand\, and Coastal Function and Services.” For centuries\, coastal dunes have provided humans with important services such as coastal protection\, recreation\, carbon sequestration\, and biodiversity conservation. They occur at most latitudes on Earth and cover over a third of the world’s ice-free coastline. They form at low-lying coastal margins where sand transported by oceanic waves and wind combines with vegetation to produce dynamic backshore structures. In this presentation\, Dr. Hacker synthesizes field surveys and a suite of interdisciplinary laboratory\, mesocosm\, and computer modeling studies to examine the relative role of dune grasses and sand supply in determining dune shape. She focuses on how dune grasses have transformed sandy US coastlines to produce variable levels of coastal hazard exposure and other critical services.

SUMMARY:FSUCML Lecture Series feat. Dr. Jerry Lorenz - "Florida Bay's Pink Wading Birds"
DESCRIPTION:Over a thirty-year career\, Dr. Lorenz has studied the ecology of Florida Bay focusing on Roseate Spoonbills and\, more recently\, on American Flamingos. He will present some of his scientific findings regarding both species with a focus on conservation and restoration of the Everglades and Florida Bay. With Flamingos\, he presents why the state of Florida considered them an introduced species and why historic and recent data indicates that they are indeed native to Florida. He discusses that Florida Bay was historically the major habitat for Flamingos in the state and why they warrant legal protection. Using Spoonbills as an ecosystem indicator species he reviews the reasons for the decline of this species since the early 1980s; what Everglades Restoration is doing and should be doing for this species and why climate change and sea level rise are further threatening what was once the sole nesting place for this species in Florida. \nJerome J. Lorenz’s research focuses on the impact of water management in the southern Everglades on the coastal ecosystems of Florida Bay. Specifically\, the project examines the linkages between fresh water deliveries from the Everglades\, the abundance of aquatic plants and prey fishes in the mangroves and the success of nesting Roseate Spoonbills in Florida Bay. In 2000 Jerry became Research Director at Audubon Florida’s Everglades Science Center after completion of his Ph.D. from University of Miami. He was promoted to Research Director for Audubon Florida in 2005. He currently serves as a member of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council and on the Monroe County Climate Change Advisory Council.
