Thank you for a lovely video! We don't have sea cucumbers in the Baltic Sea, but after watching the presentation and listening to you guys talk you made me wonder what organisms clean up detritus here.

Thank you for talking about this inspiring woman!

great work! Very interesting!

Andrea: "The project took 5 years." Me: "How many children did she have to birth during that time?" How fortunate we are to have your research to bring Elizabeth Gould back to the forefront. I love John Gould's loose and general paintings. He was doing a version of "reverse" colouring before it was a thing. I could see a reverse colouring book with his paintings. He could be credited as ornithology artist Elizabeth Gould's husband. ;-)

500,000 barred owls slated to be killed because they're encroaching on spotted owl territory. Should we employ the same method against humans for their encroachment on, and destruction of, spotted owl habitat which has been decimated by logging? And it is those same man-made alterations to the environment that induced the barred owl to move west in the first place

I would love to know if someone did classic Mendel in terms where you follow all the offspring and then measure differences based on lineages, while you suppose differences in conditions to track the condition impact ....

Kennedy Hall's guest sent me here :)

People wouldn't be seeing them and finding print's which are very different from any other animals if they were extinct.

There's a good stuffed one in Beechworth Vic.

Thank you for making Catherine's lecture available here -- I wasn't able to listen live.

Singphos tribe were the first original tea drinker tribe of northeast India.

I enjoyed your presentation on Gilbert White and Selbourne. Beautifully preserved primary documents to be sure! His time period overlaps with my research on Thomas Davies ( 1737-1812) a military painter and naturalist. He was in Gibraltar circa 1765- 1768 and I am wondering if he may have come across John White while collecting there. I was familiar with the Fauna Calpensis. John may have exchanged insects with men like Dry Drury and Daines Barrington. Barrington seems to have also had a connection to Gibraltar as well. I remember seeing some of the sketches made of Gibraltar by brother John on line at the Morgan Library in New York. I appreciate the herculean effort put effort into your work and research. Kudos to you! My last point is, might you have some letters of correspondence between Gilbert White and Samuel Kuckhan./Keuckan. He was a German born member of the RS, who mater moved to Jamaica. Gilbert has asked him for some Jamaican birds circa 1770-1772. Many of these collectors had a great conduit of trans -Atlantic exchange.

Thank you Linnean Society for your excellent and informative programming. I enjoyed watching this video and learning about the Gwillam Sisters project based at McGill in Montreal. Thanks to your guest speakers Victoria and Anna for their insightful coverage of Elizabeth and Mary and how their unique positions fit into the material and cultural life of India in the 18th century. This video gave a good overview of the food, textiles, plants, fish and birds of Madras and explained the unique position that female painters and collectors experienced in the backdrop of colonial tensions of power in the early 1800s. I am looking forward to your 'Hidden Hands" project and its unique connections to Canada!

Fabulous video. Such an inspiring designer.

The "Satin Bowerbird" appears to be an Eastern Koel (aka Pacific Koel). Note the long tail.

I find it fascinating how little the word is getting across in academia that evolution essentially is pseudo science and should be retired at this point. Discovery of epigenetics alone... far less all the sequencing of genomes show mutation rates in many species now far too high to allow an evolution explanation most importantly the encode project showing humans never evolved 100 fold higher mutations than the limit it's not even a debate.

A useful initial study materials for starting Teaics. Thank you

Great talk, thank you so much! I hope that the host got to see our beautiful otters in Singapore. We love them so much and I have seen them several times.

Great extension to the knowledge I obtained by reading about Wallace. Thanks for the interesting lecture...would love a detailed lecture on Asa Gray, Joseph Hooker or Thomas Henry Huxley. So many interesting characters in Darwin's circle.

Brilliant thank you

A fascinating talk - what amazing plants! Thank you

Truly inspiring talk with a dynamic and passionate speaker! Please keep up the good work with conservation and research related to this extraordinary plant.

I wish one day I could see Rafflesia, I wanted to.

I could listen to Dr Erica all day. Marvellous!

Its weird how strongly they hold to their timeline when soft tissue has been dino bones....not fossil.

Fantastic talk - thank you very much! And well done re. the technical/visuals point of view: the image was very clear throughout the presentation, and so it was a pleasure to be able to see the blocks and the printed images!

It occurred to me that if Consciousness is externial instead of internal then the honey bee should should have an interface similar to the one that humans have, and all other sentient animals have. Go find it kids!

My grandfather was born in 1875, I was born in 1940 - He ha an apary with a wooden fence around it. I was 3, I went into the apary. Everyone was afraid I would be stung to death. The bees were on me but no stings. After that he would let me go in with him when he was doing maintenance. A bee lit on my face and put a drop on honey on my lip. This also happened to me as an adult with my own bee hives. My question is how did the bee know where to give me a kiss? RobertCMize

My crested gecko does this when I feed him worms lol

@49:56 ...say what? No way, Mixed flocks in neotropical forests are very diverse in colors/patterns. That's what makes it so fun. I witnessed this first hand on a rain forest tram in Costa Rica.

God I love scientists, the commitment and the devotion they show in their work, and the difference it makes in our world, are incredible. The joy and energy this presenter shows in talking about her work is inimitable and wonderful.

What if the Earth is creating the alien, ghost, and fairy phenomenon??? A closed mind will never find any answers.

I have read this amazing book.

I am currently reading through this wonderful book of Costa

Very enjoyable and informative insights into the naming of plants - Thanks. - One thing that does frustrate me sometimes is the renaming of plants for no apparent reason eg Leptospermum scoparium ( manuka) and Leptospermum ericiodes (kanuka) now called Kunzea ericoides - These two plants are very similar so I'm not sure what the need was to change the genus. Eugenia is another one.

one of my favourite treasures and although there is a good facsimile edition, based on our copy, it is just not the same when it comes to the depth of colour and the liveliness of the subjects. Will can be reassured that the original red cloth binding had no associated material with it, just what is still there.

Thank you for this wonderfully enjoyable and informative lecture. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Thank you so much from a fellow member.

Another absolutely wonderful Linnean Society video! Thank you so much!

Wonderful talk but for crying out loud, hire a sound man next time.

As a struggling researcher, I really appreciate his earnest answer to the question of "How can I be a professional ornithologist?" To summarize, he said "You'll need a PhD, then to travel for a postdoctoral position here and a postdoc there, and to hopefully win a race to get publications into top tier journals." I especially appreciate that he mentioned women (i.e. if we hope to have kids, then this research timeframe sets our professional and biological clocks at odds.) I'm in a different 'ology, but would have loved to get such specific advice when I was making decisions about whether/what graduate degree to pursue. His advice is daunting but so much more useful than the pablum "If you dream it, you can do it," which has led to standard-issue disillusionment for young people across the board.

Thanks

You owe me a million pounds; a deal's a deal. I see Pinus ponderosa out the window.

Is there a readable version of Systema Naturae?

Awesome talk!

Funny story, Thomas Birch Freeman is my Great Great Great Grandfather ❤

This was FANTASTIC! I love seeing original journals and letters. That fold-out is indeed stunning! Also it's great to see all the ephemera. In one of Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward's letters to Asa Gray in 1850 he writes that he spent 5 or 6 days in Selborne with zoologist Thomas Bell, Gilbert White's successor, and ornithologist William Yarrell. They met with the "L. Club" and walked 10 miles. Gil White's handwriting is BEAUTIFUL and much more legible than Dr. Ward's!

A wonderful presentation - Thanks for sharing

BRILLIANT presentation/discussion!!
