Wildlife Service at the Alpena Conservation Office in Alpena, Michigan, will describe multiagency efforts to restore degraded rock reef spawning habitat and re-establish a once abundant native mesotrophic fish, cisco (Coregonus artedi), in Saginaw Bay. He will characterize a pre- and post-restoration assessment of fish spawning utilization at Coreyon Reef, and contextualize results with potential benefits to population genetic structure. Koenigbauer also will describe the Saginaw Bay cisco reintroduction program and its comprehensive monitoring at all life stages. Finally, he will conclude with restoration outlooks for the Saginaw Bay fish assemblage and future research priorities.\r\n\r\nKoenigbauer received his bachelor of science in ecology and evolutionary biology from University of Michigan, and his master of science and Ph.D. in aquatic ecology from Purdue University.

Yet, most of their lives are cryptic, buried in their food. Most noticeable for those who seek fungi is that we mostly find them when they attempt to reproduce. Fungi display a bewildering diversity in reproduction, from bizarre spore morphology to unusual sexual strategies, such as mating type and mate switching. \r\n\r\nAs part of the 2025 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS), Dr. Timothy Y. James will give a free, public talk focused on the fascinating world of fungi. He will review patterns of evolutionary change in fungal reproduction over time and as fungi diversified into many unique branches on the fungal tree of life. These patterns provide the foundation to explore some of the unanswered questions in evolutionary biology regarding sex and why it is so widespread in all eukaryotes.\r\n\r\nJames, who teaches the Field Mycology course at UMBS, is a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Michigan, the curator of fungi at the University Herbarium, and the Lewis E.

Kellogg Biological Station (KBS).\r\n\r\nIn her talk at UMBS, Sprunger will explore how soil carbon and free-living nematode communities shift through time after almost 30 years of regenerative agriculture management. She will demonstrate how nematodes are critical bioindicators of drought events within agroecosystems, discuss the socio-ecological aspects of regenerative agriculture, and present ways to engage farmers on climate resiliency topics.\r\n\r\nSprunger is a faculty member in the Department of Plant, Soil, and Microbial Sciences at MSU and is based at KBS. She also is a member of MSU\u2019s Plant Resilience Institute. Her research focuses on the intersection of agriculture and the environment, where she investigates how climate change impacts crop production, nutrient cycling, soil food webs, and rhizosphere dynamics. In addition, much of her work addresses how crop diversity, perenniality, and reduced tillage contribute to important ecosystem services such as soil carbon sequestration and nitrogen use efficiency. Sprunger also conducts interdisciplinary research with social scientists to understand farmer perceptions of soil health and climate adaptation. \r\n\r\nSprunger holds a Ph.D. in crop and soil sciences and ecology, evolutionary biology, and behavior from Michigan State University, and she received both a B.S. in forest resources and a B.A. in environmental studies from the University of Washington with a minor in human rights.\r\n\r\nThe U-M Biological Station \u2014 the largest of U-M's campuses at more than 10,000 forested acres surrounded by lakes \u2014 is one of the nation's largest and longest continuously operating field research stations.\r\n\r\nFounded in 1909, the Biological Station supports long-term research and education.

Giving the Pettingil Lecture in Natural History during the 2025 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station, Dr. Judith L. Bronstein will review the history of the study of mutualism, a field that has only coalesced in the past 20 years. She will identify six major research directions and present her own recent work on one pollination mutualism to show how these directions can be integrated to move our understanding forward. This is a particularly intriguing interaction because it appears to be exceedingly costly (the offspring of the pollinator moths are voracious herbivores on the same plants), making it an ideal test case for testing our understanding of how mutualisms arise and when they can persist. Bronstein also will discuss a few pressing issues surrounding mutualism that are likely to drive the field in the coming years.\r\n\r\nJudith L.

ecosystems that occur in central and northern Michigan and host numerous rare plant and animal species, including the Kirtland\u2019s warbler.\r\n\r\nTo bring together the complex community of researchers, forest managers and conservationists focused on jack pine ecosystems, the University of Michigan Biological Station and Northern Pine Plains Partnership will co-host the inaugural Jack Pine Research Symposium.\r\n\r\nThe free, two-day event is Thursday and Friday, Feb. 19-20, at the University of Michigan Biological Station, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston.\r\n\r\nRegistration is required in advance through an online registration form.\r\n\r\n\u201cFrom ornithology to fire ecology, work related to jack pine forests spans a wide scope,\u201d said Adam Schubel, resident biologist at the U-M Biological Station. \u201cIt can be tough for active practitioners from different specializations to connect on parallel efforts or emerging innovations happening just over the horizon. This symposium is an opportunity to bring everyone together in an inspiring setting to share knowledge, identify cooperative approaches, build community and chart the future of jack pine research and management in Michigan.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe symposium will feature speakers and presentations on Thursday, Feb. 19. Discussion and networking will be the focus on Friday, Feb. 20.\r\n\r\nLodging is available at UMBS for a fee of $75 a night, upon request.\r\n\r\nContact Adam Schubel at aschubel@umich.edu with questions about the symposium or to make a housing request.\r\n\r\nContemporary jack pine habitat management is the result of decades of research-driven adaptive management and collaboration.\r\n\r\nThis effort resulted in successfully emulating many features of a complex ecosystem reconstructed through alternative processes, the recovery of the Kirtland\u2019s Warbler from the brink of extinction, and advanced prescribed fire science.\r\n\r\nNew ecological questions and management challenges are emerging, in addition to those that have existed for decades.\r\n\r\nThe Jack Pine Research Symposium aims to discover new collaborative pathways forward and foster new connections.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\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.\r\n\r\nOur vast campus engages all of the senses.

ecosystems that occur in central and northern Michigan and host numerous rare plant and animal species, including the Kirtland\u2019s warbler.\r\n\r\nTo bring together the complex community of researchers, forest managers and conservationists focused on jack pine ecosystems, the University of Michigan Biological Station and Northern Pine Plains Partnership will co-host the inaugural Jack Pine Research Symposium.\r\n\r\nThe free, two-day event is Thursday and Friday, Feb. 19-20, at the University of Michigan Biological Station, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston.\r\n\r\nRegistration is required in advance through an online registration form.\r\n\r\n\u201cFrom ornithology to fire ecology, work related to jack pine forests spans a wide scope,\u201d said Adam Schubel, resident biologist at the U-M Biological Station. \u201cIt can be tough for active practitioners from different specializations to connect on parallel efforts or emerging innovations happening just over the horizon. This symposium is an opportunity to bring everyone together in an inspiring setting to share knowledge, identify cooperative approaches, build community and chart the future of jack pine research and management in Michigan.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe symposium will feature speakers and presentations on Thursday, Feb. 19. Discussion and networking will be the focus on Friday, Feb. 20.\r\n\r\nLodging is available at UMBS for a fee of $75 a night, upon request.\r\n\r\nContact Adam Schubel at aschubel@umich.edu with questions about the symposium or to make a housing request.\r\n\r\nContemporary jack pine habitat management is the result of decades of research-driven adaptive management and collaboration.\r\n\r\nThis effort resulted in successfully emulating many features of a complex ecosystem reconstructed through alternative processes, the recovery of the Kirtland\u2019s Warbler from the brink of extinction, and advanced prescribed fire science.\r\n\r\nNew ecological questions and management challenges are emerging, in addition to those that have existed for decades.\r\n\r\nThe Jack Pine Research Symposium aims to discover new collaborative pathways forward and foster new connections.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\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.\r\n\r\nOur vast campus engages all of the senses. Its remote, natural setting nurtures deep thought and scientific discovery.\r\n\r\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.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"143967-21894340@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143967", "building_id":"", "building_name":"Gates Lecture Hall, UM Biological Station", "building_official_id":null, "campus_maps_id":"601", "campus_maps_link_path":"gates-lecture-hall-um-biological-station", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/gates-lecture-hall-um-biological-station", "room":"", "location_name":"Gates Lecture Hall, UM Biological Station", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Biological Station"], "website":"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSexGyqELFZIRL08MT4Q-ZNwJEKBUcCXX5OFy5iRR25LH9a2dA\/viewform", "links":[ { "type":"registration", "url":"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSexGyqELFZIRL08MT4Q-ZNwJEKBUcCXX5OFy5iRR25LH9a2dA\/viewform", "title":"Jack Pine Research Symposium Registration" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/umbs\/news-events\/all-news\/search-news\/research-symposium-to-focus-on-jack-pine-habitat-management--con.html", "title":"Research Symposium to Focus on Jack Pine Habitat Management, Conservation Feb. 19-20" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Biological Station", "group_id":"3780", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Person standing outside looks through binoculars toward a forest", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_143967_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/143967\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":2, "first_occurrence":21894339 } ]
