SUMMARY:Why So Many Leaf Forms? Insights from Viburnum Evolution
DESCRIPTION:<p>Michael Donoghue, Sterling Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University</p><p>Why do leaves come in such an extraordinary variety of shapes and sizes? Global patterns in the distribution of different leaf forms provide clues, and multiple hypotheses have been proposed to explain such diversity. Recent work on the evolution of Viburnum (a popular group of shrubs) complements studies of global patterns and adds a new hypothesis to the mix. Michael Donoghue will discuss the Viburnum research, its relevance to understanding climate change, and the processes by which diverse ecosystems come into existence.</p><p>Evolution Matters Lecture Series<br>Free and open to the public<br>Harvard Museum of Natural History&lt;http://hmnh.harvard.edu/&gt;<br>Geological Lecture Hall, 24 Oxford Street<br>Complimentary Parking at the 52 Oxford St. Garage<br>Series supported by a generous gift from Drs.
