DESCRIPTION:Wisconsin Metro Audubon Society (WMAS) is a chapter of the National Audubon Society that encourages environmental stewardship through education and conservation. WMAS collaborates with Wehr to offer birding opportunities such as the Christmas Bird Count\, The Big Sit\, and leads the weekly Wehr Birders group. Public programs are typically held on the third Wednesday\, February to April and September to November from 7-9 pm. Please visit their website at the link below for specific details. \nThis month’s topic: \nInvertebrate Insights: envisioning terrestrial and freshwater environments from an invertebrate perspective \nDr. Jessica Orlofske\, UW- Parkside\, Associate Professor \nInsects and other invertebrates are the most diverse and abundant animals with the most varied functional roles in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. Here\, we will discuss how researchers and community science participants characterize habitats to gather information about the invertebrate community\, especially for target species like the Rusty Patched-Bumblebee (Bombus affinis) and the Hine’s Emerald Dragonfly (Somatochlora hineana). In contrast\, regulators and community science volunteers can examine invertebrate communities directly to evaluate the health or quality of the environment – a practice known as biomonitoring. Both of these approaches contribute to our knowledge of invertebrates\, particularly their life cycles\, life history characteristics\, and connections to other organisms in their habitats. \nJessica Orlofske is an Associate Professor in the Biological Sciences Department at the University of Wisconsin – Parkside. Dr. Orlofske received her undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point and graduate degrees from Iowa State University and the University of New Brunswick (Canada). Dr. Orlofske’s research focuses on invertebrate conservation and environmental monitoring. Dr. Orlofske applies her research interests to study threatened and endangered invertebrates and developing methods that employ invertebrates to assess ecosystem health. Dr. Orlofske is also involved in community outreach with colleagues and partners\, including the UW-Parkside Root River Environmental Education Community Center and the Milwaukee Public Museum.

Public programs are typically held on the third Wednesday\, February to April and September to November from 7-9 pm. Please visit their website at the link below for specific details. \nThis month’s topic: \nMOTUS is supporting Bird Migration Research in Wisconsin with Jacob Wolff \nJacob Wolff is a researcher with Lake Michigan Bird Observatory (LMBO) to help expand the Motus network in Wisconsin. \nThe Motus Wildlife Tracking System is a collaborative research effort that uses small radio tags and receiving stations to detect animals (primarily birds) as they move across the landscape. Unlike GPS transmitters that give precise location data\, Motus tags emit a radio signal that can only be detected within a short distance (~9 miles) of a Motus tower. Many organisms that carry Motus tags are not large enough for a GPS transmitter; Motus tags are also significantly less expensive than GPS transmitters. Motus towers must be strategically placed. Jacob and LMBO received a large grant to construct 16 Motus stations along the western shore of Lake Michigan and also is working on a buildout of stations. Jacob graduated from UW-Green Bay in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in animal biology and in 2022 with a master’s degree in environmental science and policy.
