The greatest diversity of forms is in Agaricomycetes, a clade of roughly 40,000 species of gilled mushrooms, crust and coral fungi, polypores, puffballs, and others. I will present\r\nresearch on diversification of fruiting body forms in Agaricomycetes, drawing on phylogenetics and comparative methods, development, and paleomycology. I will also discuss ongoing work on the \u201ctiger sawgill\u201d, Lentinus tigrinus, which is a semi-aquatic mushroom that displays an intraspecific polymorphism with both gilled (agaricoid) and puffball-like (secotioid) forms. Our work on L. tigrinus addresses the genetic bases and ecological context of a fungal morphological innovation.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"137387-21880193@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/137387", "building_id":"1005169", "building_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "campus_maps_id":"631", "room":"1060", "location_name":"Biological Sciences Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Ecology","seminar","evolutionary biology","evolution","environmental","Environment","eeb","ecosystem","Ecology And Evolutionary Biology","Ecology & Biology","department of ecology and evolutionary biology"], "website":"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/home\/hibbettlablog.wordpress.com", "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\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_137387_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21880193 } , "141696-21889197": { "datetime_modified":"20260107T144911", "datetime_start":"20260226T160000", "datetime_end":"20260226T173000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-02-26", "date_end":"2026-02-26", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"EIHS Lecture: Historicizing Transness Otherwise: Asia Narratives and Decolonial Thought", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"EIHS Lecture: Historicizing Transness Otherwise: Asia Narratives and Decolonial Thought: Howard Chiang (University of California, Santa Barbara)", "event_subtitle":"Howard Chiang (University of California, Santa Barbara)", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"This lecture develops transtopia as an unruly concept that emboldens a continuum model of transness, thereby activating a mode of historical inquiry that dismantles both the transphobic order of the past and the transgender presumption of the present. That is, it challenges both the assumption that gender nonconforming figures did not exist historically and the idea that the Western category of transgender delivers the best framework for understanding their experience. To unveil and remedy some of the most salient flaws of epistemic convention in historical inquiry, historical exemplars from the Sinophone Pacific will be analyzed and weighted in decolonial terms.\r\n\r\nHoward Chiang holds the Lai Ho & Wu Cho-liu Endowed Chair in Taiwan Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he is Professor of East Asian Languages & Cultural Studies, Director of the Center for Taiwan Studies, and an affiliated faculty of History and Feminist Studies. He is the author of two award-winning monographs: \"After Eunuchs: Science, Medicine, and the Transformation of Sex in Modern China\" (Columbia, 2018) and \"Transtopia in the Sinophone Pacific\" (2021). Between 2019 and 2022, he served as the Founding Chair of the Society of Sinophone Studies.\r\n\r\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.
