SUMMARY:Professor Adrienne Nicotra\, Phillipa Alvarez\, Lisa Danzey\, Sabina Aitken ‘Living on the Edge: understanding the thermal ecology of plants from threatened ecological communities’
DESCRIPTION:Adrienne\, from ANU\, and her co-speakers will talk about the latest advances in examining how plants from extreme environments (desert and alpine) respond to and tolerate extreme heat and cold. This research seeks to identify ways to predict responses of plants from threatened ecological communities to a warmer and increasingly variable climate. \nAbstract \n	Adrienne will use this session to update the Friends on the latest advances in our Australian Research Council (ARC) \nLinkage project\, of which the Friends are a partner organisation. The project is examining how plants from extreme environments (desert and alpine) respond to and tolerate extreme heat and cold and it seeks to identify ways to predict responses of plants from threatened ecological communities to a warmer and increasingly variable climate. \nBiography  \n	Professor Adrienne Nicotra is a plant evolutionary ecologist with interest in the capacity of plants to respond to environment and environmental change – what we call phenotypic plasticity. Her work focusses on native species from a wide range of environments\, though she is particularly fond of mountain flora.  Adrienne joined ANU as a postdoctoral fellow in 1998 and has been there ever since\, now as a Professor in the Division of Ecology and Evolution in the Research School of Biology. In addition to her research work\, Adrienne teaches\, supervises honours and postgraduate students and is the director of the Australian Mountain Research Facility.  \nPhillipa Alvarez is a PhD Candidate at the University of Technology Sydney \nLisa Danzey is a PhD Candidate at the University of Technology Sydney \nSabina Aitken is an Honour student at the Australian National University \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/CGTIR \nLunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November.  Talks last for 1 hour.  We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development and thank all those who have donated.  Please note: unless otherwise indicated\, talks are in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; several talks are booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made from the Friday before the talk until Wednesday night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nThe Booking Link is:  https://www.trybooking.com/CGTIR \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Some summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG library. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au \nThe talks are in line with COVID-19 guidelines which can change rapidly.
