"Landscape Architecture lecture to explore animal-plant food webs" Presented by Doug Tallamy

The Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture will host Doug Tallamy, professor of entomology at the University of Delaware, on Monday (Nov. 5) for the Landscape Architecture Bookwalter Lecture.

At 5 p.m. in Pfendler Hall’s Deans Auditorium (Room 241), in a lecture titled "Creating Living Landscapes," Tallamy will discuss how plants that evolved side by side with local animals provide for their needs better than plants that evolved elsewhere. He will discuss how specialized food relationships determine the stability and complexity of the local food webs that support animal diversity and how gardens function as essential parts of the ecosystems that sustain us.

The lecture is free and open to the public.
