To explain this wealth of defense traits, researchers have developed a body of theory that uses patterns of ecological pressures in the environment to predict investment in defense, but the importance of biological and geographic scale in determining which selective pressures dominate is only beginning to be tested. In this dissertation, I explore the patterns and processes of defense trait evolution in plants, examining whether defense investment across scales matches up with plant defense theory. Using the wild grape genus Vitis as my primary study system, I synthesize comparative trait and occurrence data with mechanistic investigations of the processes that shape trait investment. In my first two chapters, I use a phylogenetic framework to compare and contrast how patterns of trait evolution match up to plant defense theory depending on whether they are evaluated at the intraspecific or interspecific scale, while considering a large body of traits associated with defense. I found that trait-trait correlations are rare across Vitis species compared to trait-environment correlations, but that both types of interactions are scale-dependent. These results suggest that defenses in grape largely evolve independent of each other, but that features of the environment thought to correlate with herbivory pressure are relatively better predictors of defense trait evolution. My third and fourth chapters center on calcium oxalate crystals in plant leaves, an understudied trait that I use as a model to understand the mechanisms of plant defense evolution. As long as we have known about calcium oxalate crystal presence in plants, researchers have believed that these structures are defensive against herbivory, but recent literature has challenged that assumption. Through a systematic literature survey, I find that crystal morphologies correlate differentially with geographic parameters, suggesting that this morphological variation evolved in response to different ecological pressures. Additionally, through experimental diet manipulations using a generalist herbivore, I find that Vitis riparia-derived crystals do not operate as a defense against chewing arthropods, but do seem to serve as a dynamic storage system for calcium in grape. By linking phylogenetic comparative and experimental approaches in tests of theory, my dissertation provides us with a broader understanding of plant defense evolution in wild grape and beyond.\r\n\r\nThis is a hybrid event. \r\nJoin remotely: Join Remotely: https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/94285293918\r\nMeeting ID: 942 8529 3918\r\nPasscode: tuesem", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"133720-21873484@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/133720", "building_id":"1005169", "building_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "building_official_id":1005169, "campus_maps_id":"631", "campus_maps_link_path":"biological-sciences-building", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/biological-sciences-building", "room":"1010", "location_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["zoology"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Ecology and Evolutionary Biology", "group_id":"1190", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Event Poster", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133720_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/133720\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21873484 } , { "id":"133975-21873738", "datetime_modified":"20250317T153538", "datetime_start":"20250326T130000", "datetime_end":"20250326T150000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-03-26", "date_end":"2025-03-26", "time_start":"13:00:00", "time_end":"15:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"EEB Thesis Defense: Differences in morphological traits associated with thermoregulation in two howler monkey species and their hybrids", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"EEB Thesis Defense: Differences in morphological traits associated with thermoregulation in two howler monkey species and their hybrids: Denise Meier", "event_subtitle":"Denise Meier", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Defense title: \"Differences in morphological traits associated with thermoregulation in two howler monkey species and their hybrids\"\r\n\r\nAbstract: \"Primates, as endotherms, regulate their body temperature regardless of external conditions, driving the evolution of phenotypic traits to adapt to climate variation. Morphological traits often follow Bergmann's and Allen's rules, in which species adapted to colder climates tend to have larger body sizes (Bergmann's) and smaller limb-to-body ratios (LBR) (Allen's rule) to retain heat. However, neotropical primate research on thermoregulation has focused on behavioral strategies, overlooking morphological adaptations. I examined Bergmann's and Allen's rules in Alouatta pigra and A. palliata, sister species that diverged ~3 MYA. Given A. pigra's evolutionary history, and its thicker pelage and presence in higher altitudes than A. palliata, I expected A. pigra to have larger body sizes and smaller LBR than A. palliata. I then extended my analysis to backcrossed hybrids of the two species to assess the influence of admixture on body size and LBR in a warmer hybrid zone. My results were consistent with Bergmann's and Allen's rule. Understanding primate thermoregulation is crucial for conservation, as it sheds light on their capacity to adapt to changing environments.\"\r\n\r\nPoster photo credits: Milagros Gonz\u00e1lez\r\n\r\nThis is a hybrid event. \r\nTo join remotely: \r\nZoom link: https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/98320971369\r\nMeeting ID: 983 2097 1369\r\nPasscode: howler", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"133975-21873738@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/133975", "building_id":"1005169", "building_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "building_official_id":1005169, "campus_maps_id":"631", "campus_maps_link_path":"biological-sciences-building", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/biological-sciences-building", "room":"4150", "location_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["zoology"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Ecology and Evolutionary Biology", "group_id":"1190", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "image_description":"Event Poster", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/03\/event_133975_original-1.png" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/133975\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21873738 } , { "id":"134309-21874155", "datetime_modified":"20250331T202944", "datetime_start":"20250407T140000", "datetime_end":"20250407T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-04-07", "date_end":"2025-04-07", "time_start":"14:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"EEB Student Dissertation Defense - The role of dominant plants, insects, and climate in shaping communities and ecosystems", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"EEB Student Dissertation Defense - The role of dominant plants, insects, and climate in shaping communities and ecosystems: Julia Eckberg, PhD Student", "event_subtitle":"Julia Eckberg, PhD Student", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Dissertation abstract: \r\nPlant communities are structured by multiple potentially interacting factors, including interactions between plant species, herbivores, and climate. Critically, the independent and potentially interactive effects of plant-plant interactions, insect herbivory, and precipitation on plant community structure and ecosystem function are rarely investigated. My dissertation addresses this research gap through a set of three separate field studies in old fields across Michigan. First, I investigated the role of a dominant plant species in shaping plant species richness, productivity, and the community structure of associated arthropods. Specifically, I found that the dominant plant species Solidago canadensis (Canada goldenrod) indirectly reduced arthropod abundance by reducing the biomass of all of the other plant species in the community, in part by reducing light availability. With this work, I demonstrate that the effects of a dominant plant on communities spans across multiple trophic levels. Next, at the same field site, I implemented a field experiment to study the independent and combined effects of S. canadensis and insects on plant diversity, biomass, subdominant species abundance, microclimate, plant functional traits, and decomposition. Insect presence mediated the effect of S. canadensis removal on plant biomass and richness. Furthermore, the effects of S. canadensis and insects extended belowground and determined the temporal variability of plant biomass. Overall, these results emphasize the importance of considering the effect of insects when trying to understand the role of dominant plants in structuring plant communities and shaping ecosystem function above- and below-ground, as well as overtime. Finally, I examined the combined effects of a generalist insect herbivore and altered precipitation on plant biomass, richness, functional diversity, and the community averaged trends of a suite of plant traits. Altered summer precipitation and the presence of the generalist insect Melanoplus femurrubrum (Red-legged grasshopper) had interactive effects on the plant biomass and on community averaged plant traits, in particular. These results suggest that the traits of the most common species in the community are the most sensitive to altered precipitation and grasshopper herbivory. Taken together, my dissertation comprehensively examines the factors that structure plant communities, and in particular enhances our understanding of the interactive effects of dominant plants, insects, and climate on communities and ecosystems.\r\n\r\nThis is a hybrid event.

Therefore, the capacity to make appropriate decisions during host plant selection is a crucial behavioral trait of insect herbivores. Our research group investigated behavioral decisions by butterflies and bees that exploit ant-visited plants in the Cerrado savanna of Brazil. Observations and experiments were performed under contrasting ecological scenarios: antagonism and mutualism with ants. Field experiments show that detection of ants by these two groups of flying insects can either discourage or promote potential contact with ants on foliage. Interaction trials suggest that behavioral decisions are associated with the risk of ant-induced injury, or with the benefit of protection via ant mutualists. Visual recognition of aggressive ants represents an unusual case of behavioral adaptation by flying insects associated with the use of plant resources (leaves, flower rewards) on ant-occupied foliage, and is particularly relevant in ant-rich Cerrado.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138170-21882453@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138170", "building_id":"1005169", "building_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "building_official_id":1005169, "campus_maps_id":"631", "campus_maps_link_path":"biological-sciences-building", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/biological-sciences-building", "room":"1060", "location_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["zoology"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Ecology and Evolutionary Biology", "group_id":"1190", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"EEB Thursday Seminars", "group_id":"3822", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "image_description":"Event Poster", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138170_original-1.png" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138170\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21882453 } , { "id":"138233-21882638", "datetime_modified":"20250827T095453", "datetime_start":"20250905T093000", "datetime_end":"20250905T103000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-09-05", "date_end":"2025-09-05", "time_start":"09:30:00", "time_end":"10:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"EEB Friday Seminar Series - Ant-fruit\/seed interactions in Neotropical ecosystems: Effects on the biology of seeds and seedlings", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"EEB Friday Seminar Series - Ant-fruit\/seed interactions in Neotropical ecosystems: Effects on the biology of seeds and seedlings: Paulo Oliveira, Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Brazil)", "event_subtitle":"Paulo Oliveira, Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Brazil)", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Although most shrub and tree species in tropical environments are primarily vertebrate-dispersed, interactions between ants and fallen fleshy diaspores are frequent. Our studies have focused on the services provided by ants to fallen fleshy diaspores of primarily vertebrate-dispersed trees in Brazilian Cerrado savanna and Atlantic rainforest. In this talk, I report which ant species interact with fallen diaspores, their contribution to seed removal, and effects on seedling establishment and growth. Field studies by our group confirm the prevalence of interactions between ants and fallen fleshy diaspores, revealing potential ant-derived benefits to seeds and seedlings in both biomes. Although seed dispersal distances by ants are shorter compared to birds, our data show that fine-scale, ant-induced seed movements may ultimately enhance plant regeneration at early developmental stages in Cerrado and Atlantic rainforest. Current human-induced fragmentation and defaunation of tropical environments suggests that short-distance dispersal by ants may become increasingly important in the dynamics of ecosystems, since many vertebrate seed dispersers have been locally extirpated or are in decline.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"138233-21882638@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138233", "building_id":"1005169", "building_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "building_official_id":1005169, "campus_maps_id":"631", "campus_maps_link_path":"biological-sciences-building", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/biological-sciences-building", "room":"5150", "location_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["zoology"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Ecology and Evolutionary Biology", "group_id":"1190", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "image_description":"Event Poster", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138233_original-1.png" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138233\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21882638 } , { "id":"144247-21894973", "datetime_modified":"20260121T113413", "datetime_start":"20260127T120000", "datetime_end":"20260127T130000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-01-27", "date_end":"2026-01-27", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"13:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Speciation, extinction, and the ecology of macroevolution", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - Speciation, extinction, and the ecology of macroevolution: Dan Rabosky, EEB Professor; Curator, Museum of Zoology", "event_subtitle":"Dan Rabosky, EEB Professor; Curator, Museum of Zoology", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Description: The causes of biodiversity patterns at the largest scales of time and space remain poorly understood. In this talk, I examine the relationship between these dynamic patterns of biological diversity and rates of evolutionary diversification, and I evaluate progress in linking microevolutionary processes to speciation and extinction at macroevolutionary scales. I argue that biodiversity dynamics across space, time, and clades reflect an underlying causal unity shaped by ecological modulation of diversification. However, further progress will require much deeper integration of traditional microevolutionary biology with population ecology and paleobiology.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"144247-21894973@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144247", "building_id":"1005169", "building_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "building_official_id":1005169, "campus_maps_id":"631", "campus_maps_link_path":"biological-sciences-building", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/biological-sciences-building", "room":"1010", "location_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["zoology"], "website":"", "links":[ ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Ecology and Evolutionary Biology", "group_id":"1190", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"EEB Tuesday Lunch Seminars", "group_id":"3823", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Event poster", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144247_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144247\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21894973 } ]
