SUMMARY:Plants on the Edge: Monitoring rare disjunct and range-edge species on Lake Superior islands
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Dr. Sarah Johnson\, Associate Professor of Natural Resources\, Northland College\nPlant of the Month:  Bistorta alpina\, the alpine bistort – Presented by Scott Milburn \nThis will be a Zoom meeting. MNNPS members\, check your email for instructions. \nSarah Johnson\, Associate Professor of Natural Resources at Northland College\, will present on her collaborative work with the National Park Service to monitor rare coastal plants around the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and Isle Royale National Park. Rocky coastlines of these Lake Superior archipelagos provide habitat for many range-edge species\, including several Arctic/alpine disjunct species. Sarah will share photos and key insights from this work\, including the status and trends in populations of some of the rarest species in the western Lake Superior region. \nPresenter Bio:  Sarah Johnson teaches field botany\, wetlands\, and natural history courses at Northland College. Sarah is the co-chair of the Plants and Natural Communities Working Group for the Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts. She earned a Ph.D. in Botany at UW-Madison.

SUMMARY:80 Years of Minnesotan Ecology: An Update form Cedar Creek
DESCRIPTION:Presented by by Dr. Caitlin Potter\, Education and Community Engagement Coordinator\, Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. \nThe recorded Zoom meeting is available on the Videos page. \nThis will be a talk about the past\, present and upcoming research projects at Cedar Creek. and will give folks who haven’t heard about Cedar Creek a peek into our legacy\, while also providing something new. \nDr. Caitlin Potter is the education and community engagement coordinator at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve. Her background is in wildlife ecology\, and she holds a B.S. in Wildlife\, Fish and Conservation Biology as well as a masters and Ph.D in ecology and evolutionary biology. She studied wildlife and animal behavior all over the world (mostly monkeys in Ethiopia) before finding her true passion doing environmental education! Now\, she runs school field trips and public events at CCESR\, works with scientists to get their results into the hands of students\, and organizes several citizen science projects.

SUMMARY:How a diversity of human cultures perfects our understanding of conservation
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Rowzat Shipchandler: MNDNR Diversity Coordinator. \nThe recorded Zoom meeting is available on the Videos page. \nWe often talk about how having a diversity of plant species makes a native plant community stronger and more resilient. Similarly\, human diversity can make our work in conservation stronger and more resilient. Greater diversity in the sources of our knowledge are crucial to managing and conserving our resources. We learn more about the Minnesota DNR’s diversity\, equity and inclusion efforts and will talk about how expanding diversity\, equity\, and inclusion in the work of conservation can improve decision making and open our perception of nature.

SUMMARY:The Role of Prairie Restorations in the Conservation of Native Bee Communities Across a Gradient of Agricultural Land Use
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Dr. Ian Lane\, Department of Entomology\, University of Minnesota. \nThe recorded Zoom meeting is available on the Videos page. \nDr. Lane’s Research Interest \nMy work primarily focuses on native bee conservation\, with a focus on understanding how bee communities respond to the floral and landscape elements of prairie reconstruction. I also have an avid interest in the specialized relationships between bees and their host plants and habitats. I am also a native plant enthusiast with a hobby garden in my backyard where I try to grow some of my favorite species. My favorite native plants are Amorpha canescens and Pedicularis canadensis.

SUMMARY:Reconstructing the first angiosperms and their initial diversification
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Dr. James Doyle\, Professor Emeritus\, Department of Evolution and Ecology\, College of Biological Sciences University of Califormia Davis. \nThe recorded Zoom meeting is available on the Videos page. \nDr. Doyle’s Research Interest \nMy research deals primarily with the origin and early evolution of angiosperms. My oldest interest is in Cretaceous fossil pollen and leaves and their implications for the evolution\, geographic spread\, and original ecology of angiosperms. More recently my research has emphasized phylogenetic analyses of relationships between angiosperms and other seed plants and among living primitive angiosperm groups\, based on morphological\, molecular\, and fossil evidence. I have worked on phylogeny\, evolution\, and biogeography of several living plant groups\, especially the tropical family Annonaceae\, the largest family of primitive angiosperms. My current main project aims to integrate Early Cretaceous fossils into the predominantly molecular phylogeny of living primitive angiosperms and to evaluate implications of the results for morphological evolution.

SUMMARY:Moose and Brainworm
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Tiffany Wolf\, DVM\, PhD\, University of Minnesota. \nThe recorded Zoom meeting is available on the Videos page. \nThe moose\, an iconic creature of the north woods and an important member of this ecosystem\, is in serious decline. This trend is the result of several factors including a parasite\, Parelaphostrongylus tenuis\, which has been introduced via the expansion of another host species\, the white-tailed deer. \nDr. Wolf\, an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota-College of Veterinary Medicine\, is on the front lines. She is working in collaboration with the Grand Portage Band as she explores the impacts of wildlife management practices\, pinpointing the parasites temporary hosts\, and looking at differences in the DNA of the parasite in hopes of preventing transmission. She will be sharing with us the details regarding her research.

SUMMARY:Mussels of Minnesota - ONLINE VIA ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:Due to the current situation of not being able to hold our monthly meetings in-person at Dakota Lodge\, we are going to try something different in an attempt to still engage you the member – a presentation via Zoom. Although this is not an ideal situation we still feel as though we need to stay connected somehow. \nProgram: “Mussels of Minnesota” \nby Bernard Sietman\, Malacologist\, Minnesota DNR \nMussels\, a key player in nutrient cycling which benefits aquatic and emergent plants\, are under threat due to various factors including water pollution. Bernard Sietman\, a malacologist with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources\, will present on the ecological role\, threats\, recovery\, and future of this group of specialized organisms.

SUMMARY:Prairie Butterflies
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Scott Krych. \nScott Krych\, an ecologist with HDR Engineering\, will be presenting on butterflies of the prairie. He has been working professionally for over 30 years\, which has taken him on a journey through the Midwest and western United States. During his career\, he has been able to spend considerable time conducting rare butterfly surveys for such species as the Poweshiek skipperling\, Dakota skipper\, and Karner Blue. This experience has allowed Scott to photo-document his observations\, resulting in an amazing collection of photos.
