CANCELLED Biology's Saul Lectures: Understanding human impacts on evolution in Darwin's finches Dr. Luis De León

Darwin’s finches represent a classic example of adaptive radiation. However, human activities in the Galapagos are starting to affect this iconic group of birds. Here, I show how human development is eroding the very ecological and evolutionary processes that promote and maintain adaptive radiation in Darwin’s finches. This talk is for an audience with a science background, but all are welcome. (Lunch provided at 12:15pm). Dr. Luis De León is this year’s Saul Speaker, sponsored by the George B. Saul II Lecture Fund and the Department of Biology.
