SUMMARY:Southern Appalachian Mammals
DESCRIPTION:Instructors: Dr. Rada Petric (UNC-Chapel Hill) and Dr. Ed Pivorun (Clemson University) \nThis course will emphasize the mammalian fauna of the Southern Appalachians. We will have traditional lectures on mammalian anatomy\, evolution\, orders\, physiology and ecology for about 1 ½ hours every morning. Field work will emphasize live trapping techniques. Mammals tend to be nocturnal. Thus\, all traps will be set out in the late afternoon and will be checked early the next morning. These efforts will allow the student to become familiar with as many living local species of mammals as possible. The field work will examine the importance of specific habitats for the distribution and density of specific species. After a short break\, we will move into the lecture setting until noon. In the early afternoon\, after lunch\, we will spend another 1 ½- 2 hours to do some more of the traditional mammalogy labs on anatomy\, identification and keying. An interactive DVD/flash drive provided to each student contains high resolution images of the skulls of each species native to the Appalachian forests. This is an excellent study aid that is used in conjunction with the actual skulls and study skins of each species. \nPre-requisites: Introductory biology\, zoology\, or permission of the instructor.

SUMMARY:Biology and Conservation of Birds
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dr. Rob Bierregaard (Drexel University & Academy of Natural Sciences) \nBird diversity is extremely high in the southern Appalachian mountain and Blue Ridge Escarpment region\, an area that includes a wide range of plant community types over a nearly 4000-foot range in elevation. This basic course in ornithology covers morphology\, systematics\, ecology\, conservation\, and behavior of birds. Daily field trips in the local area will acquaint students with the rich bird fauna of the region. \nPre-requisites: Introductory biology\, ecology\, or permission of instructor. \nFor more information\, visit https://highlandsbiological.org/summer-2023-academic-courses/

SUMMARY:Zahner Lecture 1
DESCRIPTION:Lecture 1 – Birds\, Big Data\, and Citizen Science: Understanding the Impacts of Global Change\nFeatured Speaker: Allen Hurlbert\, Ph.D.; Professor of Biology; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill \nDate: Thursday\, June 15th\nTime: 6pm – 7pm\nCost: FREE \nSponsored by Kim & Rich Daugherty and Kathy & Bestor Ward. \nAs the world undergoes various facets of environmental change – from warming to habitat loss to shifts in seasonality – everyday people can help scientists understand the impacts on natural ecosystems through citizen science. In this talk\, Dr. Allen Hurlbert will provide examples of how citizen science has enhanced our understanding of how global change is impacting birds\, as well as insect bird food\, across North America\, and how you can help these efforts.
