“Topics from the Beck Lab at Wichita State”
A (Virtual) Lunchtime Lecture by Dr. James Beck and Stacy Holt
The research group led by Dr. James Beck at Wichita State University is broadly interested in obtaining genetic and genomic data from museum resources, and using these data to answer questions in plant biodiversity and evolution. This 1-hr seminar will be divided into two presentations, each followed by a short Q&A.
“What is giant salvinia? Plastid Phylogenomics of the Salvinia molesta invasion” — Stacy Holt, M.S. student researcher, Wichita State University
“Cytogeography and niche evolution in the giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea), reconstructed from hundreds of herbarium specimens” — Dr. James Beck, Associate Professor, Wichita State University
