SUMMARY:Salamander Diversity in the Southern Appalachians
DESCRIPTION:Salamander Diversity in the Southern Appalachians\nwith Patrick Brannon \nSaturday\, September 5  |  1 – 3:30pm \nBRN – Elective \nRegister Here!\n  \nThe southern Appalachians are one of the most biologically diverse regions in the temperate world. More species of salamanders exist in these mountains than anywhere else\, and nowhere are they more abundant. Participants will be presented a lecture focusing on biology and ecology of salamanders\, biogeography\, reasons for the enormous diversity in this region\, and local threats to species diversity. Afterwards\, students will analyze and graph data to observe how different species coexist in streams. Weather permitting\, we will then search the Arboretum grounds to observe species in the wild. \nPatrick Brannon is an independent naturalist and educator. He holds a M.S. in Biology from Appalachian State University\, and has performed research on the ecology of salamanders and small mammals. For the past 22 years he was Outreach Coordinator at the WCU Highlands Biological Station\, where he taught courses on amphibians and mammals as part of the UNC Institute for the Environment Program at HBS\, in addition to many K-12 school programs and educator workshops. \n●  Members: Remember to enter your promo code upon checkout to receive your 10% member discount!
