Easton Library to Host Presentation on Mixotrophs by Horn Point Scientist
On Monday, July 16, at 6:30 p.m., in the Easton branch of the Talbot County Free Library, Horn Point Lab’s Dr. Diane K. Stoecker will give a PowerPoint presentation with dramatic photographs of “mixotrophs”—plankton that play both sides of the Animal-Plant divide, living off sunlight and using elaborate methods to hunt and subdue their prey. Mixotrophs are a mixed blessing, improving the Bay’s productivity while also, occasionally, causing toxic blooms.
Stoecker received her Ph.D. from the Program in Ecology & Evolution at State University of New York at Stony Brook. She was a Post-Doctoral Scholar and then Scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Since 1991 she has been at University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Horn Point Laboratory, where she is currently Professor emerita. She has conducted research on plankton in environments ranging from the Equatorial Pacific to polar waters and from estuaries to the open ocean. Her research has focused on the biology, physiology and ecology of single-celled organisms (protists) at the base of planktonic food webs.
All library programs are free and open to the public. Patrons do not need to pre-register to attend this discussion. For more information, please call the library at 410-822-1626, or visit www.tcfl.org.
