* and here's the notices of these:
1) 22 September: "Stalking the Wild Conspicuous" -- Schueler/Karstad
presentation on 30 Years Later Expedition research.
place: Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History, 1747 Summer Street,
Halifax, NS 44.64532N 63.58451W
presenters: Frederick W. Schueler and Aleta Karstad
time: 7:30 pm
Admission: FREE
The 30 Years Later Expedition is a transCanada Biological Survey
launched in partnership with the Canadian Museum of Nature, primarily
revisiting sites where Fred & Aleta have made observations and
collections... since 1970... ...began life as a birder, but switched to
then-neglected but conspicuous Amphibians in graduate school, a pattern
the couple has followed since, documenting the ranges and variation of
other kinds of conspicuous but neglected organisms...
They will discuss the results of the first year of the expedition:
worm-ravaged old-growth woods in Renfrew County... giant Carp and
Dog-strangling Vine east of Toronto... and this month's pursuit of the
partially-alien giant grass, Phragmites, across Nova Scotia.
