SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Thursday Seminar: River capture promotes evolutionary diversification in continental freshwaters
DESCRIPTION:Neotropical freshwaters house one of the greatest concentration of species and phenotypes on Earth\, with more than 8\,000 fish species representing approximately 10% of all living vertebrates combined\, compressed into a tiny volume of aquatic habitat. The diversity of Neotropical freshwater fishes long predates the geological formation of the modern Amazon and Orinoco river basins\, and the unparalleled diversity we observe today arose from an excess of speciation over extinction rates operating over a lengthy time period of tens of millions of years. In this paper we summarize the major phylogenetic and biogeographic dimensions of the Neotropical ichthyofauna\, and review recent advances in understanding the roles of paleogeography\, river capture\, and other landscape evolution processes contributing to the formation of this singular fauna.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/1Qsk76-KDDk

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EIHS Lecture: Ecology and Empire on the Yellow River
DESCRIPTION:This presentation introduces Ruth Mostern’s work on the imperial and ecological history of the Yellow River\, a five-thousand-year history of the relationship between people\, water\, and sediment. Her work reveals how gradual changes (for instance in climate and population) intersect with sudden cataclysms (such as wars and floods). Interweaving the history of the river’s moist floodplain with that of the erosion zone hundreds of miles away\, it demonstrates how social and political transformations can have unintended ecological consequences very far from the locations where they transpire. This research combines maps and timelines with historical documents\, archaeological information\, and environmental science.\n\nRuth Mostern is associate professor of history and director of the World History Center at the University of Pittsburgh. She is the author of Dividing the Realm in Order to Govern: The Spatial Organization of the Song State (960-1276 CE)\, the coeditor of Placing Names: Enriching and Integrating Gazetteers\, and the principal investigator for the World-Historical Gazetteer\, a digital ecosystem for sharing information about historical places.\n\nFree and open to the public. \n\nThis event is part of the Thursday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
