SUMMARY:The Difficult Plant Problem (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Tim Rich (BSBI) \nThere are many groups of plants which are difficult to identify\, but relatively few botanists are interested in tackling them.

SUMMARY:Flora of the Eastern Pyrenees
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Brian Ferry (Royal Holloway College) \nFrom 1990-2010 Brian made annual visits to the eastern Pyrenees where he made detailed studies of the flora. The flora is essentially Mediterranean in type\, but with great altitudinal variation from lowland valleys\, often dominated by evergreen oak forests\, to high altitude beech and conifer forests\, both forms of scrub vegetation derived from Man’s activities over millennia. As well as focusing on the plants\, Brian spent time bird watching and moth trapping so these will get a mention too. \n

SUMMARY:Life at Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vents (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof Jon Copley (Univ of Southampton) \nThis talk explores the patterns of life at hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor\, where chemosynthesis sustains colonies of deep-sea animals that often form partnerships with microbes. Because of their island-like nature\, hydrothermal vents provide an ideal system to investigate processes of dispersal and evolution in the deep ocean that covers most of our world. \nThe Zoom link will be in our monthly newsletter or contact rdnhszoom@outlook.com. \n  \n \nA hydrothermal vent on the Juan de Fuca Ridge in the North Pacific Ocean off Vancouver Island (British-Columbia\, Canada) \n© V.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Tracks & Signs – the Naturalist’s Forgotten Skill
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bob Cowley (Oxfordshire Mammal Group) \nThe ability to accurately identify and interpret tracks and signs relies on a body of traditional knowledge that previous generations of naturalists would have regarded as fundamental. Sadly\, now it is largely unknown and untaught\, but with the upsurge of citizen science\, it is perhaps more relevant than ever. \n
