Presented by: Solomon David- Ph.D. candidate at the School of Natural Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan

Date: Wednesday, January 13th, 2009
Time: 11:45am to 1pm Eastern

Presentation will focus on the ecology, biogeography, and conservation of the spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus) in Michigan, particularly where he did research in Michigan inland lakes. The overarching goal of his research is to better understand a very poorly-studied, much-maligned, yet important native species at the edge of its range; and in doing so help develop effective strategies for conserving and managing ecologically sensitive peripheral populations central to the biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems. In this webcast, he will be giving an overview and background to the importance of peripheral populations, where they fit in terms of biodiversity conservation, and then delve into a summary of two-year’s worth of research on the spotted gar.

More generally, his research has involved the conservation and management of populations of species at the edge of their range. These peripheral or "fringe" populations are considered valuable in terms of their ecology, biogeography, and conservation because they often persist under different environmental conditions from the species' central or "core" populations.

Do you know if this will be archived for future viewing? I have a dental appointment at that time...
