SUMMARY:Mapping a remarkable life: a virtual introduction to the Lyell Collection
DESCRIPTION:This event is being organised by the Centre for Research Collections\, University of Edinburgh. It will reveal the exciting work currently being carried out at the university with the geological collection of Sir Charles Lyell\, which includes his notebooks\, family papers\, and geological specimens. \nElise Ramsay\, Project Archivist\, will introduce Lyell and show several key pieces of the collection using the Centre for Research Collection’s new innovative visualizer technology. This collection includes specimens collected by Charles Darwin\, letters between Lyell and Darwin\, and notebooks in Lyell’s own hand during his fateful tours to France and Italy. Dr. Gillian McCay\, from the Cockburn Geological Museum at the Grant Institute\, will connect Lyell’s legacy to modern scientific perspectives. Each will discuss adapting working practices over the past year to continue opening up this rich collection of earth science material. \nThis is a free event. For further details and to register\, visit the Eventbrite website. \n

SUMMARY:Bird evolution from the Late Cretaceous onwards (online lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Dr Daniel Field\, University of Cambridge \nDaniel will talk about evolution of birds across mass extinctions\, and the timescale of the modern bird radiation. The end-Cretaceous (K–Pg) mass extinction dramatically affected vertebrate life worldwide. He and his colleagues are trying to decipher how this event affected birds and other vertebrates through fieldwork and lab-based studies. When in Earth history did the first evolutionary divergences among modern birds take place? How old are the major avian clades? \nFurther Reading \nField\, D.J.\, Benito\, J.\, Chen\, A.\, Jagt\, J.M.W.\, Ksepka\, D.T. 2020. Late Cretaceous neornithine from Europe illuminates the origins of crown birds. Nature\, 579 397-401.\nField\, D.J.\, Berv\, J.S.\, Hsiang\, A.Y.\, Lanfear\, R.\, Landis\, M.J.\, Dornburg\, A. 2020. Timing the extant avian radiation: The rise of modern birds\, and the importance of modeling molecular rate variation. PeerJ Preprint of in-review manuscript: https://peerj.com/preprints/27521/ \nDaniel is an evolutionary palaeobiologist at the University of Cambridge (Department of Earth Sciences). He hails from Alberta\, Canada and is a graduate from the University of British Columbia. He did his PhD at Yale and worked at the Smithsonian and Denver before coming to Cambridge in 2018. He uses the vertebrate fossil record to help answer questions about how\, where\, and when Earth’s modern biodiversity arose. He is passionate about natural history\, evolution\, and science outreach\, and enjoys studying and photographing Earth’s vertebrate biodiversity in the field. \nThis lecture will be held as a Zoom meeting. Society members for whom we have email addresses will be sent an invitation a few days before the event. If you are a member but are not on our email list\, or a non-member who would like to join the meeting\, please email the society’s meetings secretary to request an invitation.
