Fish Tales: Biology and Ecology of our Freshwater Friends

October 7 from 6-8 PM • Presenter: Dr. Rex Strange

This presentation will explore the biology and ecology of our aquatic friends, fish! Join us to dive into ichthyology (fish biology), examine specimens, and learn about fish native to the region with local fish expert Dr. Rex Strange.

Dr. Strange (yes, that is his actual name) is an Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Southern Indiana. His research is centered on the natural history and evolution of North American freshwater fishes. Most projects utilize the molecular techniques of population genetics and phylogenetics to better understand (and document) patterns of natural diversity. More recently, his research has shifted to the development and genome biology of the least brook lamprey (Lampetra aepyptera).

Cost: $20 for public / $15 for members and Indiana Master Naturalist Alumni
