Fish and the city: understanding the effects of urbanization on the ecology and evolution of aquatic biota
The expansion of cities worldwide is a major driver of local, regional, and global environmental changes. Despite that, urban areas are often overlooked in ecological and evolutionary studies. In this talk, I will show the mechanisms through which urbanization changes ecological and evolutionary processes in aquatic biota. Such information is fundamental to advance classic theories and for promoting conservation in cities.

On Rising Together: Collective and creative responses to the climate crisis
A play by Marisela Treviño Orta directed by Olga Sanchez Saltveit. Almost all the insects are gone, but Cassandra and her brother Alexander are tracking the world’s last monarch butterflies heading to the west coast instead of south. Their path intersects with an Oregon truffle farm where a small group of people are hunkering down to wait out the apocalypse. Will their encounter provoke the collapse of humanity or a new beginning?
Performances: April 6th – 8th, 7:30 pm each evening and 2 pm on Saturday.
