Hi Herp Group!
Just thought I'd pass along the information for my finishing talk happening this Friday, May 6th at 12pm (in person or over zoom)! I'll be talking about my work on amphibian conservation in Ecuador (including the discovery of a new glassfrog species or two 🐸).
Mark your calendars for May 6th at noon for a special hybrid Wildlife Seminar celebrating
Becca Brunner's PhD Finishing Talk:
"Amphibian Conservation in Working Landscapes: Investigating the Impact of Soundscapes, Disease, and Natural History"
Please join Berkeley's Wildlife Group as we celebrate Becca's incredible research! We will be hosting a hybrid seminar with an in-person and virtual option.
Meeting ID: 959 0880 6055 (full Zoom invitation below) *The talk will be recorded and can be shared with those unable to attend
Bio:
Becca Brunner is a Senior Researcher at Third Millennium Alliance and a PhD candidate in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at University of California, Berkeley. At an early age, Becca became fascinated by tropical rainforests--the antithesis of her small cornfield hometown in Illinois. Today, she is a conservation ecologist with a special interest in frogs. She conducted her PhD work in forested and agricultural landscapes throughout Ecuador, using bioacoustics and genetics to answer conservation-related questions. She works with Ecuadorian farming communities to mitigate biodiversity loss while addressing social issues like fair access to markets and food security. Becca is also passionate about sharing ecological knowledge with students (especially teaching interdisciplinary courses of her own design) as well as with policy-makers (she also has an MPA in Environmental Policy and most recently contributed to the United Nations Global Land Outlook Report). She unexpectedly achieved a childhood dream by discovering a new species of glass frog (Hyalinobatrachium mashpi) during her fieldwork in 2019 (pictured above: the green frog guarding its eggs).
