Join the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department for its upcoming Wildlife Diversity Webinar: Digitizing Texas’ Botanical Legacy: the Texas Oklahoma Regional Consortium of Herbaria Date: Wednesday, July 17, 2024 Time: 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. Host Tiana F. Rehman Herbarium Director Botanical Research Institute of Texas at Fort Worth Botanic Garden Webinar Description Natural history collections, such as herbaria, are well positioned for the analysis of global change and the resulting impacts on regional biota. In this context, the digitized herbarium specimen data from the Texas Oklahoma Regional Consortium of Herbaria provide the capacity for addressing major hypotheses in the region concerning patterns of species richness and phylogenetic diversity, vegetation responses to climate change, and species distribution models based on substrate versus climatic data. This seminar will focus on Texas digitization and discoveries, showcasing the rich legacy of plant data in our state.
