SUMMARY:Dr Mitzy Pepper ‘How geomorphology controls biodiversity (especially lizards) in the Australian deserts’
DESCRIPTION:Dr Mitzy Pepper\, an ARC DECRA Fellow at ANU\, will focus on the exciting synthesis of biology and geomorphology in understanding the evolution of both the biodiversity\, and the landscapes of the Australian deserts. \nAbstract \n	The distribution of lizards in arid Australia is an example of the complex influence of geology\, climate and geomorphological processes in shaping contemporary genetic patterns. Mitzy’s talk will focus on the exciting synthesis of biology and geomorphology in understanding the evolution of both the biodiversity\, and the landscapes of the Australian deserts. She will touch on case studies in the rocky Pilbara region of Western Australia and contrast this to evolutionary patterns we see in the low-lying dune systems of eastern Australia. \nBiography  \n	Dr Mitzy Pepper is an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Fellow in the Keogh Lab at the ANU. Her areas of interest are evolutionary biology\, herpetological systematics and biogeography. She uses genetic data to understand where biodiversity is high\, where it is low\, how species in different parts of Australia are related to one another\, the timing of evolutionary events and how the demographic history of populations has changed through time. Mitzy is particularly interested in understanding the influence of historical climate change and the evolution of the Australian landscapes on genetic patterns in Australia’s arid regions. \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/CTFXG \nBooking\n	Lunchtime 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 we thank all those who have donated.  \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nBooking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/CTFXG  \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. Many 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.

SUMMARY:Black Mountain Weeding Work Party
DESCRIPTION:Thank you very much to our wonderful weeders for removing more than 835 woody weeds at our October work party in the grassland and woodland area of Black Mountain Nature Reserve.\n	We look forward to seeing you at the next work party on 2 November. We are starting at 8:30am now that it is Summer time.   \nDate: Saturday\, 2 November 2024\, 8:30 to 11:30am \nWe plan to remove lots of non-local acacia and other woody weeds \nMeet: Caswell Drive entry on the mountain side.\n	Drive from Belconnen Way southwards along Caswell Drive towards Glenloch Interchange\, Woden\, or Tuggeranong. Note the yellow diamond shape advisory sign showing access road on left (mountain side) and the blue and white “P” sign for parking. Pull into the carpark carefully.  Look for banners. \nBring:  more of your friends if you wish\, as everyone is welcome.   \nWear:  hat\, sunscreen\, long-sleeved shirt\, long pants\, gloves\, stout shoes. \nWe shall break for delicious morning tea at about 10:00am \nPlease book: if you are planning to come\, please let us know by booking using this booking link:  https://www.trybooking.com/CRZWD\nThis helps us to let you know if arrangements need to change at the last minute (for example\, adverse weather conditions). \nIf you need further information\, please contact Stuart by phone 0435 964 028. \nWe look forward to seeing you at our next work party. \nLinda Beveridge\nConvenor\, Friends of Black Mountain
