SUMMARY:Speaker Series - October 2018
DESCRIPTION:Can drones help save our bird populations?\nDrones: A New Tool for Bird Research and Conservation \nThe use of small unmanned vehicle systems (UVS; aka drones) is rapidly evolving as wildlife biologists and managers all over the worldadopt them for conducting population surveys\, tracking radio-tagged animals\, sensing and observing animals in sequestered or dangerous places\, mapping and monitoring wild habitats\, and deterring poachers.  This naturally includes avian species.    \n In the last ten years\, Dr. David Bird and his students and collaborators have experimented with using drones torecord the nest contents of several raptorial bird species nesting in Saskatchewan and Montana\, and monitor their respective behavioral responses. They also monitored the abundance of nesting common terns in a colony in New Brunswick\, to count seabirds in colonies in Newfoundland and the Arctic\, to map breeding habitat of threatened least bitterns near Baie-du-Febvre\, Quebec\, to detect heat signatures from bird nests\, to radio-track songbirds in Montmorency\, Quebec\, and to disperse nuisance birds such as starlings from vineyards and blueberry crops in British Columbia.   \nCompared to using manned light airplanes or helicopters\, flying drones can be cheaper\, greener\, less obtrusive\, and much safer (the number one source of mortality for wildlife biologists is dying in a plane or helicopter crash!).  And more recent research suggests yet another benefit – acquiring more accurate and precise counts of target wildlife.  But as Dr. Bird points out in his visual presentation\, we still have much to learn before fully embracing this technology.    \nSpeaker: Dr. David Bird \nEmeritus Professor of Wildlife Biology and Director of the Avian Science and Conservation Centre of McGill University in Montreal\, Quebec. Dr. Bird is a past-president of the Raptor Research Foundation Inc.\, past-president of the Society of Canadian Ornithologists\, an elected Fellow of the American Ornithologists Union\, a former member of the Board of Directors of the American Birding Association\, an elected member representing Canada on the prestigious International Ornithological Committee\, and recently\, a member of the Board of Directors of Bird Studies Canada. \nhttps://www.askprofessorbird.com/about-dr-bird

SUMMARY:Speaker Series - September 2018
DESCRIPTION:Adventures with the earliest amphibious arthropods: human history and ancient ecology\nSpeaker: Dr. Robert MacNaughton \nThe earliest evidence of animals leaving the water to move about on land comes from fossilized arthropod trackways in the Cambrian of eastern North America. Such trackways were first recognized and collected in the late 1840s at Beauharnois\, near Montreal. The collected trackways made their way to the United Kingdom\, to be described by Sir Richard Owen\, the anatomist best remembered today for coining the term “dinosaur”. Owen provided detailed\, well-illustrated descriptions\, and gave the trackways a Linnean name: Protichnites.  After that promising start\, a complicated history followed\, including the loss and eventual rediscovery of the Beauharnois specimens. This talk will trace that history\, review some recent work on the earliest landward excursions of animals\, and discuss the challenges of studying and classifying the footprints that those creatures left behind.   \nRobert MacNaughton is a Research Scientist in the Calgary office of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC). His research focuses on the tectonics\, paleontology\, and stratigraphic evolution of northwestern mainland Canada. Since his undergraduate days\, he has been fascinated by ichnology—the study of fossilized animal behaviour. He has been fortunate to indulge this fascination through studies of the Cambrian “explosion”\, early life in the deep seas\, and the earliest history of animals on dry land.
