SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Controlling your Career in the Comics Industry with Ryan Claytor
DESCRIPTION:Join MSU Professor and Cartoonist Ryan Claytor as he discusses his 20-year history of self-publishing comics\, how to make a sustainable career in the arts\, and how you can best move forward with your own creative projects. On this stop of his book tour\, Claytor shares artwork\, ideas\, and concepts from his most ambitious publication to date\, One Bite at a Time\, a brand-new\, oversized\, hardcover art book featuring two decades of his work in comics\, illustration\, and design with a heavy focus on pulling back the curtain to reveal the creative process behind making each piece.\n\nRyan Claytor is the Coordinator of the Comic Art and Graphic Novel Minor and Assistant Professor at Michigan State University where he teaches Comics Studio courses and spearheaded the development of the interdisciplinary Comics Minor between the Art and English departments. Claytor's achievements have included six Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo Prizes and two nominations for the Ringo Comic Industry Award. As a creator\, Claytor is known for his award-winning\, self-published\, non-fiction comics\, including his autobiographical series \"And Then One Day\"\, as well as his collaborative work on \"Coin-Op Carnival: Electrifying Tales of Mechanical Contraptions” and “A Hunter’s Tale.” Claytor's international client list includes companies such as Moleskine\, Stern Pinball\, Verizon Wireless\, Mr. Jones Watches\, and more. Other artistic pursuits include designing neon signs\, watches\, fancy pancakes\, and cross-stitching.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Ecophylogenetic and geographic constraints on species formation and cohesion in squamate reptiles
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of our ongoing Tuesday Seminar Series.\n\nAbout this seminar: The ubiquity of species imbalance across the Tree of Life potentially reflects\, at least in part\, heterogeneity in macroevolutionary rates of speciation and extinction. However\, how and why speciation rates vary within and between clades and biogeographic regions remains an open question. Many studies have tested for links between putative microevolutionary (subspecific) controls and macroevolutionary (superspecific) phenomena (e.g.\, speciation rates)\, but due to the noisiness of these biological data\, have been unable to reach any consensus on speciation rate-limiting controls. In particular\, variability in the taxonomic resolution of tip-level units—including over- and under-splitting—can potentially influence estimated rates of speciation\, the consequences of which have not been rigorously explored. Given that geographic isolation provides only ambiguous evidence for reproductive isolation\, the taxonomic treatment of allopatric forms has been inconsistent across clades\, thus raising questions as to the comparability of our phylogenetic tip-level units. Using sympatry among close relatives as a heuristic for speciation completion\, I will assess the impact of collapsing allopatric sibling species on macroevolutionary speciation rates in scaled reptiles (Order Squamata). I will then briefly describe my plans to investigate the ecophylogenetic limits to sympatry among squamates by modeling clade-level transitions from allopatry. I will also discuss leveraging higher-resolution ecological and distribution data from one North American snake tribe (Colubridae: Natricinae: Thamnophiini) to interrogate the robustness of these results. Finally\, I propose to characterize the range-wide genomic structure of several species groups within Thamnophiini to explore extrinsic and intrinsic factors modulating species cohesion across heterogeneous environments and spatial scales.
