The seminar, hosted by graduate student Meredith Cenzer of the Louie Yang lab, is from 12:10 to 1 p..m. in 122 Briggs Hall.
Singer will discuss host shifts in checkerspot butterflies. For four decades, he has studied butterfly-host plant ecology, evolution and behavior, and more recently, phenological responses to climate change.
Singer formerly taught at the University of Texas, Austin, or what he refers to as his former "teaching and butterfly evolution empire."
From his website: "Singer has had a massive influence on generations of undergraduate and graduate students at UT and researchers on butterfly ecology and behavior elsewhere."
Plans call for the seminar to be recorded for later posting on UCTV.
