The Evolution of the Flamingo’s Smile
Christopher Torres, PhD, an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of the Pacific, presents a talk on how the flamingo’s distinctive smile and beak evolved, why these birds became so highly specialized, and how their history intersects with broader changes in Earth’s past. He will trace the puzzles that still surround flamingo origins and fossils, then explain how recent work clarified that grebes are their closest living relatives after centuries of uncertainty. The presentation explores what came before flamingos and grebes despite a remarkably complete fossil from that pivotal moment, the rise and disappearance of unusual straight beaked flamingos that once ranged nearly worldwide, and how the ancestors of today’s curved beak species nearly vanished before spreading again across the globe. It also looks at a time when flamingos filled habitats along California and the West Coast only tens of thousands of years ago, and highlights the remarkable changes in beak form that chicks undergo after hatching, a window into the earliest stages of flamingo life. This event takes place at Central United Methodist Church.
