Peterson will explore how avifaunas (and other vertebrate faunas too) have changed over the past century. The KU Natural History Museum has vast collections of specimens that were accumulated by our predecessors, particularly Charles Dean Bunker, in the first few decades of the twentieth century. We have assessed those historical collections, found the sites that the early workers inventoried in detail, figured out where those sites are now, and we are now repeating the vertebrate species inventories a hundred or so years later. In this talk, Peterson will document how avifaunas have changed over that century, and explore why those changes have occurred.Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87845231087?pwd=imZqn8qThm61aFbV84n6GZgpANnxSQ.1
