As part of the Fall Enrichment Program Dr. Gustav Paulay, the Curator of Invertebrates at the Florida Museum of Natural History delivers a keynote lecture, ‘Coastal Biodiversity.’
Biodiversity is key to sustaining ecosystem health and resilience, and is a master variable for evaluating the success of management efforts. More is known about the ocean than ever before thanks to broad field and molecular surveys, which show overwhelming diversity. Yet, we do not know the order of magnitude of marine diversity for even the macrobiota—the living organisms of a region that are large enough to be seen with the naked eye. Most macrobiota species are poorly understood; historical collections are mostly inaccessible to modern molecular tools; and identification tools are inadequate.
Paulay and his team have found an effective way forward in determining the magnitude of marine biodiversity. Paulay will share examples from recent surveys in the Red Sea and elsewhere to demonstrate both the challenges and as well as the solutions his team have developed.
