PowerPoint iNat Talks

Here is a link to a powerpoint presentation that I made and sometimes modify for presentations about inaturalist: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bqiz6b1QgJr6wVIA2F906U-5txKsvdSu/view?usp=sharing 29
I have also broken them into others that are visible in this folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SIPJ3D6uG3HrHporAyRldC1Y_JwDy37i?usp=sharing 10

If you find any of these documents useful, feel free to share them with anyone who wants to learn about iNat :-)

? De lezingen van vorig jaar zijn nog wel allemaal na te zien, o.a. via youtube. Het verhaal van regenwormenonderzoek was vanmiddag al, dus die heb ik gemist. In deze entoLIV serie komen nog tien lezingen van de Biological Recording Company.

Despite the rich bird life in the eastern Amazon basin, relatively little research has been conducted in the Belém Area of Endemism in northeastern Brazil – one of at least eight regions in Amazonia with unique species found only in each of these respective areas. The Belém area is the most endangered of the eight, largely because of deforestation that has left just 24% of primary forest standing. Jason Weckstein, associate curator of Ornithology at Philadelphia’s Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, will take us on an armchair expedition into this very special location, where he co-led a team conducting research to discover and describe the bird and bird parasite diversity in the region. He’ll share an up-close-and-personal look at everything from daily life in the field to the area’s biodiversity, the endemism patterns in birds and their associated parasites found there, and how the team’s findings are being used to advance our understanding of speciation, disease and parasite ecology, and conservation.

About the Speaker: Jason D. Weckstein, PhD, is Associate Curator of Ornithology at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University and Associate Professor in Department of Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Sciences at Drexel University. His research focuses on the biology, biodiversity and evolutionary history of birds and their parasites. He is a fellow of the American Ornithological Society, and has over 20 years of experience working in natural history museums. He has conducted research on birds and their parasites in the United States, Canada, South Africa, Ghana, Malawi, Nicaragua, Brazil, and Mexico.

Using bats and their associated parasites as a case study, Dr. Speer examines how environmental and host factors contribute to microbiome community composition and pathogen prevalence, and how natural history collections capture these interactions. In bats, the skin microbiome appears to vary with environment, while parasites tend to have highly species-specific microbiomes. However, to a lesser extent, habitat fragmentation, time, and geography contribute to variation in the microbiome of parasites.

Additionally, Dr. Speer explores how existing specimens in natural history collections may provide historical context for bat-pathogen and bat-parasite interactions. Studies of host-parasite-microbiome assemblages are necessary to advance our understanding of disease ecology and emergence in wildlife, especially given the wildlife origin of pathogens that impact human health and well-being. Natural history collections are uniquely suited to capture the complexities of wildlife interactions and, using new tools to detect microorganisms from these collections, can inform One Health research in the process.

Earthworms are widely-regarded as ecologically important and recognised as ecosystem engineers (i.e. responsible for creating the habitats in which they live). However, they remain hugely under-studied and we have little species-specific information on the 31 species that inhabit the British Isles. The National Earthworm Recording Scheme aims to address this knowledge gap. This free webinar will explore how earthworm researchers are using the 20,000+ earthworm records generated over the last 10 years to improve our understanding of the ecology, behaviour, populations, distributions and habitat associations of different species of earthworm, as well as a current project to assess the provisional conservation status of all British earthworm species.
