Biology Seminar: Dr. Keith Karoly (12pm to 12:50pm @ Biology, Biology 19)
"My problems with hybrids: genetic tools for assessing the boundaries between species" Biologists view hybridization through a diversity of lenses. Some may see hybrids as inconveniences that challenge the biologists' taxonomies and their ability to identify species boundaries. Others may see hybrids as a source of novelty that contributes to biological diversity and can allow for adaptive traits to be transferred between taxa. Another view holds that hybrids can be a threat to biological diversity and to the management and restoration of natural areas and rare or endangered species and communities. I will present several examples from my current research where we are using genetic tools as a means to learn about some of these roles being played by hybrids in our Pacific Northwest flora. Keith Karoly's lab focuses on research investigating the ecology and evolution of flowering plants, with a primary emphasis on understanding their reproductive biology. Examples of research (past and ongoing projects) include: diversification of northwest larkspur, the evolution of floral morphology in the mustard family, understanding the phylogeography of Garry Oak, the evolution of mixed mating in an annual lupine, and cryptic dioecy in tall meadow rue. 11:50 am- Snacks & Socializing noon- Talk Begins
