Join us Friday November 4 for “Ancient Species Help Predict Effects of Modern Invasive Species,” a presentation by Alycia Stigall, Jones/Bibee Professor and head of the UT Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences.

Invasive species are one of the major causes of modern biodiversity loss, but understanding how these short-term impacts may play out over evolutionary time cannot be assessed using only modern data. Fortunately, invasion events have occurred throughout the history of life. In her presentation, Professor Stigall will explore lessons learned about evolution, extinction, and biotic change from the fossil record, and what those lessons predict about our future.

The presentation begins at noon on Zoom. The event is free and open to the public but registration is required. Once registered, you will receive a link to join the meeting. https://tennessee.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUuceygqjMqHdKYZHXo7z5BJYVj5cYxLIfq

About Alycia Stigall
Professor Stigall joined the University of Tennessee faculty in August 2022. She came from Ohio University, where she was a professor and chair of the Department of Geological Sciences. A paleobiologist, she uses fossil marine (saltwater) invertebrates to study invasive species, mass extinction, and diversification. Alycia Stigall earned bachelor’s degrees in biology and geological sciences from The Ohio State University. She completed a master’s degree and a doctorate at the University of Kansas, where she studied the impact of invasive species on evolution, biogeography, and extinction during the Devonian period (about 419 to 359 million years ago). Professor Stigall focuses on using the fossil record of ancient species invasions to better predict the long-term impacts of modern invasive species. She uses models to reconstruct the geographic distributions of fossil species and builds phylogenetic trees, or diagrams that illustrate the relationships among species. She works with these tools to understand key events in the fossil record.

Opening 5-9 PM

We will be celebrating the day of the dead. Our featured artists are Hector Saldivar, Susana Esrequis, and Leonardo Romero.

Path-work Play B. is a temporal painting installation and performance by artist Ada Friedman. The paintings are made with foil, Mylar, canvas, acetate, paper, acrylic and oil paint, tissue, and tape. The works are directional and can function as stages. Path-work Play B. accentuates and conjures bodily movement. Friedman choreographs repetitive everyday movements within a painting. Friedman began her Path-work pieces in Knoxville in Fall 2021 while a Visiting Artist/Lecturer at UTK. More information on performance times and collaborators is forthcoming. Installation and all performances in the Carriage House at Tri-Star Arts on Nov. 3-5, 2022.

Magic Tree House: Pirates Past Noon KIDS is an adaptation of the fourth of Mary Pope Osborne’s award-winning fantasy adventure books from the Magic Tree House book series. Jack and Annie’s tree house takes them to an exotic island with pirates, where the two discover the power of friendship and the simple pleasures in everyday life.

The two siblings return to visit the magic tree house on a dreary, rainy day. They find a book where the sun is shining and the waves are crashing, so they wish to travel to this tropical place. They realize that they are in the eighteenth-century Caribbean, the time of pirates! The siblings meet Captain Bones, a mean old pirate who captures the two and forces them to help him find buried treasure. It’s up to Jack and Annie to find their way back to the tree house and make their way home.
