[Pollinator] Smithsonian Botanical Symposium "Partners in Evolution", 26 April 2008, Washington DC

[Krupnick, Gary]

2008 Smithsonian Botanical Symposium

 

"Partners in Evolution: Interactions, Adaptations, and Speciation"

 

In collaboration with the United States Botanic Garden and the National
Tropical Botanical Garden

 

26 April 2008

National Museum of Natural History

Washington, DC

 

Plants and animals have ecologically interacted for hundreds of millions
of years. These interactions have resulted in adaptations and
specializations in both the plants and the animals. In some cases these
adaptations have resulted from the coevolution of the two lineages. This
Symposium, hosted by the National Museum of Natural History Departments
of Botany and Entomology, will address the various ecological
interactions, evolutionary adaptations, and co-radiations of plants and
animals in habitats across the planet and explore the processes of
coevolution. The Symposium highlights the new hall of coevolution,
entitled "Partners in Evolution - Butterflies and Plants," which will
open at the National Museum of Natural History in February of 2008.

 

The speakers at the Symposium will be Judith L. Bronstein (The
University of Arizona); Scott Hodges (University of California Santa
Barbara); W. John Kress (Smithsonian Institution); Conrad Labandeira
(Smithsonian Institution); Olle Pellmyr (University of Idaho); Ted
Schultz (Smithsonian Institution); and John N. Thompson (University of
California Santa Cruz).
