A Springtime Epiphany: Biodiverse Glories of Southwestern Australia!

Talk description: "Southwestern Australia is an extreme biodiversity hotspot. Join Alex Mintzer (Prof. Emeritus of Biology, Cypress College) for a tour of southwestern Australia that highlights landscapes, wildlife, wildflowers, and particularly the diversity of wild orchids that he and his spouse Carole saw over a few amazing days in September 2019! Alex will incorporate major concepts from evolutionary biology and ecology in his presentation. This talk is highly recommended for naturalists, biodiversity mavens, wildflower enthusiasts, fans of Australia, students of evolution, and orchid lovers... Best of all, there will be no quiz after the show!"
