style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575">The genus <em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Amaranthus </span></em>contains around 70 species, the majority of which are native to the Americas. Eleven <em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Amaranthus </span></em>species are globally distributed agricultural weeds that have evolved resistance to at least one chemical class of herbicides. Previous research in my lab has been focused on the introduction, spread, and herbicide resistance evolution of Palmer amaranth (<em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Amaranthus palmeri</span></em>) and waterhemp (<em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">A. tuberculatus</span></em>) in California; however, now we are broadening our investigations to ask, what makes a plant an agricultural weed? My collaborators and I are using the genus <em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Amaranthus</span></em>, which contains a mix of agricultural weeds, domesticated species, and non-weedy species, as a starting point to answer this question. To better understand the taxonomy and distribution of the non-weedy species in the genus, I spent my sabbatical in Fall 2022 visiting herbaria and making new field collections of several understudied Southwestern species of <em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Amaranthus</span></em>. I came to several unexpected preliminary conclusions about the geographic range and taxonomic status of several of these species, which my lab is currently following up on with genetic work. My findings are a good example of the importance of knowing the basic biology and taxonomic status of species before basing evolutionary or ecological studies on these taxa.<br> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:150%"><strong><span style="font-size:15.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black"> Join us on Thursday!</span></strong><b><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black"><br></span></b><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">October 12th, 2023</span></strong><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black"><br><strong><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif">7-8 pm PT</span></strong></span></b><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"><br><br></span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">Zoom link:</span><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"><br><br></span><u><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#3333cc"><a href="https://ucr.zoom.us/j/99765052757?pwd=LzNycE1kb2E5TGR3M25nZFJWTU5Qdz09">https://ucr.zoom.us/j/99765052757?pwd=LzNycE1kb2E5TGR3M25nZFJWTU5Qdz09</a></span></u><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575"></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt"><div align="center"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="background:#344d32;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td style="padding:13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt 13.5pt;border-radius:8px"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif"><a href="https://calbotsoc.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c632809fa2b75323f2418bb1e&id=0075f5b470&e=b69ac08598" target="_blank" title="Zoom link"><b><span style="color:white;letter-spacing:-.4pt;text-decoration:none">Zoom link</span></b></a> </span></p></td></tr></table></div></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;min-width:100%"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:6.75pt 0in 0in 0in"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse"><tr><td width="600" valign="top" style="width:6.25in;padding:0in 0in 0in 0in;max-width:100%;min-width:100%"><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left" width="100%" style="width:100.0%;border-collapse:collapse;word-break:break-word"><tr><td valign="top" style="padding:0in 13.5pt 6.75pt 13.5pt"><h3 align="center" style="text-align:center"><strong><span style="font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode",sans-serif;color:black">Bio</span></strong><br> </h3><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#757575">Dr. Katherine Waselkov is an associate professor in the Biology Department at CSU, Fresno, where she teaches courses on evolution, plant anatomy, systematic biology, plant taxonomy, and experimental design. Her research lab of undergraduate and masters students explores many topics in plant population genetics/genomics, phylogenetics, and taxonomy, focusing on the genus <em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Amaranthus</span></em>, local species of the genus <em><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Phlox</span></em>, and various other agricultural weeds and native wildflowers in Central California. She is also the curator of the Fresno State Herbarium (FSC), and many students have been involved in the ongoing effort to digitize and revitalize the collection since 2015. Her PhD is in Evolution, Ecology, and Population Biology from Washington University in St. Louis (2013) with Dr. Ken Olsen and Dr. Barbara Schaal, and her postdoc was with Dr. Carolyn Ferguson in the Division of Biology at Kansas State University (2013-2015). </span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><table class="MsoNormalTable" border="0"
