Ecology Center Seminar with Dr. Paul Koch

Conference/Seminar

Dr. Koch will be presenting two seminars. Please note that the Wednesday seminar will take place at 12:30 PM in ENGR 101, while the Thursday seminar will remain in BNR 102 at 4 PM. Wednesday, 4/15: "Body building in extant and extinct mammals – the role of the gut microbiome in protein metabolism." Thursday, 4/16: "What fossils tell us about the planet today – using the past to plan for the future." About Dr. Koch: I am a paleobiologist who explores questions about extinction and evolution in vertebrates, often using forensic chemistry to assess the ecology and physiology of individual organisms, extant or extinct. Earlier in my career, I focused on the extinction of megafauna at the end of the last ice age and the pulse of evolutionary and ecological change triggered by early Cenozoic global warming. Of late, I’ve focused on gleaning information useful for conservation from fossils of extant species and the extinct megafauna they interacted with them. This work also includes study of the role of the gut microbiome in animal nutrition.

Jennifer Courtwright PhD Defense - Assessing ecological integrity of streams across the western U.S.

Conference/Seminar

Maintaining and restoring the ecological integrity of aquatic ecosystems is both legally mandated by the Clean Water Act and a management goal of diverse natural resource management agencies. Historically, most ecological assessments of aquatic ecosystems have focused on determining whether individual water bodies are supporting desired aquatic life conditions. However, agencies also have to report to Congress on overall status and trends in ecological condition across all streams within their jurisdiction. Ideally, assessments of ecological integrity would be both precise enough to inform site-specific management decisions and also be readily scaled up to accurately characterize watershed-, regional-, and national-scale conditions. My dissertation research improves the range of naturally occurring environmental settings to which indices of biological, chemical, and physical condition apply and scales up reach-level assessments of ecological integrity to regional and national scales in the western US.
