SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ann Arbor Japan Week 2026 | Letterpress Lab: Japanese Family Crests
DESCRIPTION:Jillian Locke from the U-M Center for Japanese Studies will present a short talk on the history of traditional Japanese family crests and share information about this selection of crest plates in the Ann Arbor District Library's letterpress collection.\n   \n   Letterpress is the traditional process of printing by hand using movable type. This lab will feature a short guided activity to get familiar with assembling and printing a letterpress project. Participants will be able to use wood type\, handset lead type\, and ornaments\, as well as learn how to hand ink and print on a Vandercook cylinder press. If you'd like\, you can stay longer to work on a more involved project.\n   \n   Due to the presence of lead-based type\, this program is intended for adults.\n   \n   New to letterpress? Please arrive at the start of the program for a 20-minute demonstration of how to use the equipment.\n   \n   This event is part of Ann Arbor Japan Week 2026\, held in partnership with the Ann Arbor District Library: https://aadl.org/node/666415\n   \n   The 12th annual Ann Arbor Japan Week is from June 14 to 20. Join us for an exciting week of free\, Japan-themed events and activities for all ages!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hann Lecture in Ornithology: “Trait-based Insights into the Dynamics of Biodiversity”
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2026 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS)\, Dr. Marta Jarzyna will give the Hann Lecture in Ornithology. The free\, public talk is titled\, “Trait-based Insights into the Dynamics of Biodiversity.”\n\nJarzyna is an associate professor in the Department of Evolution\, Ecology and Organismal Biology at Ohio State University.\n\nTrait-based ecology has long been heralded as a framework capable of providing mechanistic insight into biodiversity dynamics and thereby enabling predictions of future biodiversity states.\n\nYet despite decades of development\, the promise of trait-based ecology remains largely unrealized.\n\nIn this talk\, the macroecologist and biodiversity scientist will draw on examples from her own research to critically examine where this promise has and has not been fulfilled.\n\nUsing avian systems as a case study\, Jarzyna demonstrates how incorporating functional traits into biodiversity metrics can reveal patterns that traditional species richness measures obscure.\n\nIn particular\, she shows that trait-based approaches uncover seasonal dynamics in bird communities — shifts in functional composition across the year that species counts alone would miss entirely.\n\nThese findings illustrate both the potential of trait-based ecology and the persistent gap between its theoretical ambitions and empirical application.\nJarzyna’s research focuses on understanding the processes that drive biodiversity dynamics across spatial\, temporal\, and taxonomic scales.\n\nShe holds an M.S. in environmental science from Warsaw University of Life Sciences and a dual Ph.D. in fisheries and wildlife and ecology\, evolutionary biology\, and behavior from Michigan State University\, and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University.\n\nThe University of Michigan Biological Station serves as a gathering place to learn from the natural world\, advance research and education\, and inspire action. We leverage over a century of research and transformative experiences to drive discoveries and solutions to benefit Michigan and beyond.\n\nFounded in 1909\, UMBS supports long-term research and education through immersive\, field-based courses and features state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for data collection and analysis to help any field researcher be productive. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS\, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so the community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free\, public talks are on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston\, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.
