SUMMARY:WMRC Lecture Series: The Evolution of North American Wild Sheep based on Skull Shape & Mitochondrial DNA.
DESCRIPTION:Presented by John D. Wehausen\, Ph.D.\, retired WMRC research scientist. The Owens Valley is unique in having different subspecies of bighorn sheep on each side. This talk will put our local bighorn sheep into a much larger context of the evolution of all wild sheep in North America\, including when different forms appeared. It will trace the history of research on that evolution based on analyses of skull morphometric and mitochondrial DNA data and apparent conflicts between those different data sets. \nPLEASE SEE THE INFORMATION BELOW FOR THE LOCATION. This event is free and open to the public. This talk will not be broadcasted live but will be recorded and posted to our YouTube channel at a later date.

SUMMARY:WMRC Lecture Series: The Cambrian Explosion in the Inyo-White Mountains
DESCRIPTION:Bill Krebs\, UCLA & WMRC alumna will be presenting on the Cambrian fossil history of the White Mountains. \nThe Cambrian Explosion was a seminal event in the history of life on Earth. \nIt occurred ~ 541 mya at the beginning of the Cambrian Period and is characterized by the first appearance of abundant mineralized invertebrates\, burrows\, a negative δC13 excursion\, the extinction of most Precambrian metazoans\, and disappearance of widespread microbial mats and stromatolites.  Phyla of all modern marine invertebrates appeared during the Cambrian Explosion as well as the ecological relationships that now exist between them.   Evidence for this event in the White Mtns. consists of stromatolites\, sedimentary textures indicative of microbial mats\, fossils of mineralized marine invertebrates\, and trace fossils (e.g.\, burrows).  In Bishop\, it’s a short drive to the distant past and strange old world.  \nPLEASE SEE THE INFORMATION BELOW FOR THE LOCATION. This event is free and open to the public. This talk will not be broadcasted live but will be recorded and posted to our YouTube channel at a later date.

SUMMARY:WMRC Lecture Series: Insect population ecology in the Sierra Nevada- a 40 year perspective with Dr. Nathan Rank
DESCRIPTION:The willow leaf beetle Chrysomela aeneicollis lives at high altitude in the South-central Sierra Nevada\, from near Mount Whitney to Yosemite. This California insect has been the focus of studies of ‘Evolution in Action’ since the 1980s\, when Dr. John Smiley (former WMRC station manager) and then graduate student Nathan Rank conducted experiments examining relationships between beetles\, willow host plants where adults and larvae feed\, and the insect enemies that prey upon the beetles. \nDr. Nathan Rank\, now a professor at Sonoma State University\, and his colleague Dr. Elizabeth Dahlhoff\, Santa Clara University\, currently study how willow leaf beetles tolerate and survive exposure to environmental extremes. Throughout the years\, Dahlhoff and Rank have led a team of mostly undergraduate researchers (over 140 to date) in this project. This is the longest running study at WMRC\, which began in 1984. \nAt this talk Dr. Rank will be discussing the 40 year span of his research. \nPLEASE SEE THE INFORMATION BELOW FOR THE LOCATION. This event is free and open to the public. This talk will not be broadcasted live but will be recorded and posted to our YouTube channel at a later date.
