Presented by Mike Quinn PhD. Entomolgist and board member Austin Butterfly Forum
Description: Most people know that Texas is the most biodiverse state in the union, but why is that and where within Texas is that biodiversity concentrated? The recent explosion of observational data can now augment collection-based entomological data to address these questions. We will look at a variety of plant and animal data, of both vertebrates and invertebrates, overlain on ecoregional maps to explore United States biogeography. Bio: Mike Quinn's first biological interest was with the snakes of New Orleans where he grew up. After successive explorations of birds, botany and butterflies, he developed a deep curiosity in beetles. His fascination with true bugs is currently competing with his appreciation of beetles.
