<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The oaks (Quercus, Fagaceae) comprise more than 430 species distributed across temperate and tropical regions of the northern hemisphere. They are among the best-known
and most ecologically significant forest trees in North America (including Mexico) and Eurasia. Oaks have shaped forest and savanna ecosystems and the diversity of urban forests, often molding the development of human civilization and mythology. This 3-part
seminar introduces students to basic oak biology and traits, with a focus on the evolutionary history of the eight major clades. The event examines recent investigations into the pattern and timing of the oak tree of life, historical biogeography, ecological
niche differentiation, and consequences of hybridization. Case studies include oak species complexes from western and southeastern North America, with updates on the current state of oak classification as informed by phylogenomic data. Current research will
highlight what the future might hold for oaks and the myriad of associated biota that depend on them. Ethnobotanical notes on oaks will be presented throughout the seminar. Along with introductions, the first session provides organization details for sharing
oak-related content/photos with the group for later discussion.</span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#222222"><o:p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></o:p></span></p>
