LT Pick Free

The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Montana State University will host a special “Snowmester” presentation about “Ecological Insights from 70 Years of Greater Yellowstone Amphibian Studies.” The event is free and open to the public and will be presented virtually via Webex.
Charles R. Peterson, professor of zoology in the Department of Biological Sciences at Idaho State University, and Andrew Ray, an aquatic ecologist with the National Park Service, will discuss how partnerships between the National Park Service, U.S. Geological Survey and Idaho State University helped launch one of the longest-running amphibian monitoring programs in the U.S. Todd Wilkenson, a Bozeman-based journalist and author, will give the opening remarks.
They will discuss amphibian distributions, habitat associations, genetic connectivity of populations, as well as the major threats to amphibians in the GYA and beyond due to such factors as climate change, habitat loss, disease and invasive species.
