Dr. Mason Murphy will present the BGSU Science Cafe on April 10 in Groups for Wison.
From Bgsu Science Café
“Exploring the behavior of the movements of native amphibians” is the subject of the next BGSU science café from 6 to 7 p.m. on April 10 on the field of thought, 174 S. Main St., Bowling Green.
Dr. Mason Murphy, assistant teacher for teaching at the Bowling Green State University Bowling Department, will present a conference, live questions and answers live for science coffee.
He will discuss how amphibians sail in their environment. Movement is a key aspect of the history of the life of many organizations, and understanding how the environment can influence individual movement behavior can help us discover larger and wider models in the distribution of species and the connectivity of the population.
Murphy will explore the factors that influence movement in some species of frogs and briefly speak of the impacts that these movements have on genetic diversity. He will also discuss the ecology and natural history of certain species of native and exotic reptiles.
Murphy is a molecular ecologist interested in understanding the motors and the consequences of the animal movement and how individual behavior increases to influence the genetic structure of the population at the level of the landscape and the genetic flow.
It uses a combination of experiences and molecular techniques, using new generation sequence data to explore movement behavior, genetic diversity and population connectivity, with a particular accent on amphibians. As director of the BGSU herpetology laboratory, Murphy is also strongly involved in public awareness, sharing knowledge and providing experiences with a variety of indigenous and exotic herpetofauna.
Registration online is invited to obtain a specific workforce for the event in person. The coffee and the cake will be provided. Please contact tbmiles@bgsu.edu for any food concern.
