Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve has announced
the schedule of lectures for the monthly Lunch & Learn lecture series at
Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center. In celebration of the recently-established partnership between the research reserve and Florida International University
(FIU), this year’s series focuses on research underway by scientists at the university.
The February 21 lecture welcomes Dr. Kevin Boswell, Assistant Professor of Marine Science at Florida International University, with his program, "Acoustics and Fisheries Ecology Lab." In this talk, Dr. Boswell will discuss how the application of technologies, namely acoustics, can be used to describe biological processes across three differing ecosystems: intertidal, coastal ocean, and open ocean. Within this context, the talk will generally focus on predator-prey dynamics revealed with these tools and ecological inference made from our abilities to ‘see’ these interactions underwater.
Subsequent lectures in the Lunch & Learn lecture series
include:
- March 21: "The Epigenetics Revolution Reaches the Ocean," Dr. Jose Maria Eirin-Lopez
- April 5: "Green Turtles Graze Down Bermudian Seagrass Meadows on the Move to South Florida," Dr. Jim Fourqurean
The cost to attend the lectures is $15, or $10 for Friends
of Rookery Bay members, and includes lunch. For more information about the lecture series, click here.
