ESCONI December 2023 General Meeting – Friday, December 8th, 2023 at 8:00 PM via Zoom – “Ancient Forest Pests: Plant-Insect Interactions in the Fossil Record”

The December 8, 2023 General Meeting presentation will be held via Zoom:  Michael Donovan, Collections Manager, Paleobotany at the Field Museum will present “Ancient Forest Pests: Plant-Insect Interactions in the Fossil Record”.

Description: Plants and insects are the most diverse multicellular organisms on Earth, and their abundant interactions are fundamental components of ecosystems on land. Plant-feeding insects are highly sensitive to environmental disturbances, including past extinction events and climate change. In this talk, I will discuss my research examining how major environmental changes affected ancient insect and plant biodiversity and biogeography, and how those changes have shaped modern ecosystems.
