SUMMARY:REPTILIA
LOCATION:Visual Resource Collections & Gallery FA 2109\, 2nd Floor\, Fine 
 Arts Building\, 502 S. Cooper St.\, Arlington\, Texas 76019
DESCRIPTION:While many are familiar with the UTA Fine Art Collections disp
 layed in our galleries and satellite exhibitions across campus\, many are
  unaware that UT Arlington houses a series of research collections to sup
 port the many fields of study we offer\, including the Wet Specimens Coll
 ection housed at the Amphibian and Reptile Diversity Research Center (ARD
 RC).\n\nFor this interdisciplinary exhibition\, we present the intersecti
 on of art and science by featuring the work of Dr. Luke Frishkoff\, Assoc
 iate Professor of Biology\, and Artist Documentarian Osra West. Through d
 igital photography\, paintings\, and drawings\, West brings to life the w
 ork of Frishkoff’s research on Evolutionary Ecology. This intersectional 
 study of ecology and biology focuses on how environmental factors such as
  climate\, food competition\, and natural selection can influence a speci
 es’ evolution and\, in this case\, the anoles of the Greater Antilles isl
 ands in the Caribbean. Also on display are a series of vibrantly colorful
  beaded sashes of the Yoruba peoples of Africa that reference reptiles an
 d showcase the cultural footprint of the Yoruba’s influence on the region
 .\n\nPlease join us throughout the fall semester\, Tuesday\, September 8\
 , through Friday\, November 13. The opening reception will be Thursday\, 
 September 10\, 5 p.m.-7 p.m. We will host a Creature Feature event in col
 laboration with the UTA Herpetology Club on Wednesday\, October 14\, 12 -
