About this event
One of 29 upcoming events at Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, and 371 across Oklahoma City.
(18+) We live in a time of accelerated environmental change, with organisms forced to shift their ranges, adapt to new pressures, or face extinction. As archives of biodiversity, museums are especially well situated for understanding these organismal responses. In this lecture, Dr. Hayley Lanier will discuss how we use museum specimens to understand and track these changes, and what they can reveal about the potential for mammals to successfully persist. Speaker: Dr. Hayley Lanier, Associate Curator of Mammalogy, Sam Noble Museum, and Associate Professor of Biology, University of Oklahoma. Click here to register! The lecture series is free and open to the public, but registration is encouraged.
