Predators, Prey, and the Games They Play!

Computer Models Reflect Real-World Animal Behavior

Dr. Barney Luttbeg from the Oklahoma State University Department of Zoology will speak about his research using tadpoles, dragonfly larvae, and computer simulations to understand the complex interactions between predators and their prey.

If you can, please bring a chess board, chess pieces (or any game pieces you like), checkers (or any flat tokens with two colors), and a coin to flip or dice to role.

We will also have live tadpoles and dragonfly nymphs to observe!
