Sierra Science Series – Behavioral ecology of Tamalia gall aphids: induction, cohabitation, freeloading
VirtualLearn how social parasites exploit primitive social behavior in aphids with Dr. Don Miller, professor in the Center for Water and the Environment at California State University, Chico. These insects create galls (abnormal growth bubbles) in manzanita leaves, but some individuals invade these retreats rather than build their own. Is conflict reduced because invaders are

Sierra Science Series – California conservation in the genomics era: The CALeDNA and California Conservation Genomics projects
VirtualPlease join us on March 9th at 6:30pm for our next Sierra Science lecture. The employment of genomic technologies is becoming increasingly important for detecting, understanding, and developing species and ecosystem management plans, including maximizing the adaptive potential of natural systems. Dr. Jason Sexton will describe two programs currently using conservation genetics and genomics in

A Tale of Two Experiments: How the CA drought affected natural populations of an endemic monkeyflower
VirtualBy the end of the century, the Sierra Nevada growing season is predicted to be 7°F warmer. Please join Lillie Pennington (UC Merced) as she discusses how drought impacts cutleaf monkeyflower evolutionary trends and what it could mean for other Sierra Nevada endemic plants. This event is free and will be held on zoom. Register
