Cheers, Andy Horn Halifax The Nova Scotian Institute of Science Public Lecture Series Please join us for a free public lecture entitled: =93Energy Budgets in Marine Mammals: Tactics and Tricks=94 Speaker: Dr. Sara Iverson Professor and Scientific Director of the Ocean Tracking Network Department of Biology, Dalhousie University Monday, January 6, 2014 7:30pm Museum of Natural History Auditorium, 1747 Summer St., Halifax. The overriding currency of all animal life is energy and all animals must e= xchange energy with their environment. Like other animals, marine mammals h= ave evolved strategies of energy acquisition and use, but these strategies = also experience trade-offs between energy allocated to body maintenance fun= ctions, activities (whether routine or exceptional), growth, and reproducti= on including successfully weaning offspring: all of which are central to un= derstanding their life histories, individual and population fitness, and ev= en ecosystem dynamics. Dr. Iverson will discuss this fascinating subject an= d its complexity, especially considering the huge diversity of marine mamma= ls, where they live, the way they live, and perhaps most importantly how bi= g they are. http://nsis.chebucto.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Jan6_2014_Iverson.pdf All are welcome to attend!
