Sea a star, make a wish! 

Many of us know how awful heat waves can be (I know I for one have been very glad to have access to AC this summer)... now imagine being underwater where it is even harder, if not impossible, to cool yourself down. 

Marine invertebrates face many challenges, and heat is definitely one of them, but could kelp forests potentially help provide some protection for communities of invertebrates (like sea stars for example!) during heat waves?

Join me chatting with MSc (/PhD candidate) Dominique Maucieri about her research into this complex question!

For new listeners, this podcast is “Serious about research, and less serious about delivery” because our mission has always been approachability and a real-world approach to issues...

Please note I do not do a lot of editing and minor swearing comes up from time to time in episodes, so we hope you can sit back, learn something, and have a laugh with us! 

The Anthropo Scene is an independent project started by young ecologists who are passionate about sharing interesting information surrounding the complicated story of introduced and invasive species around the world. It has now opened up to include more topics about Ecology and the interesting, and sometimes complicated ways that humans interact with nature.

Original music and audio edition for Season 3 by the talented Garret Baker from Quiet Sun Productions 

This podcast continues in the loving memory of Nicholas McCarney.

If you have ever heard whale song before you are likely to agree that it is beautiful, and can be quite powerful. So what if we took these incredible singers (along with dolphins too!) and added our own music to it - all for a greater cause? 

In the search of helping people to practice mindfulness, improve mental health, and to raise awareness for the protection of our oceans, Joshua Sam Miller has created Sounds of The Ocean - An artistic exploration of natural sounds, music, and stunning visuals to inspire conservation action on a global scale. Join me chatting with Joshua all about this project and what it can mean for ocean conservation!

A note:
This episode got posted a touch late (damn life gets in the way sometimes!) so you can't catch Sounds of the Ocean on Tardigrade anymore but do follow them on socials to keep an eye out for where you can join them next on their world tour!

Just like any good "Florida Man"  news headline demonstrates throughout the year, without fail, sometimes things get a little out of hand... and in terms of Florida's invasive species problem, well, we have quite a problem. 

Join us as we explore the state of Florida (USA), and just how much of a butt f*ckery we have created in terms of invasive plants, reptiles, amphibians, insects, invertebrates... and more.

We see a repeating pattern in the study of invasive species, where an invasive plant or animal is, well… invasive and even disastrous in one area, and endangered in their native ecosystem. And though it is a common pattern, it doesn’t cease to be interesting! Join us today while we take a dive into Tiger Salamanders (Ambystoma Sp.). As both an endangered and invasive salamander.

Anthropo Snips are a quick look at new(ish) interesting papers and concepts related to anthropogenic impacts on natural ecosystems. 

No tusks no problem, right? The issue is a bit more complicated than it may seem at first, joins us today while we explore the following paper: 

Today Kirstynn and guests co-host Francisco Romero explore how poaching can greatly influence populations and evolution. 

Campbell-Staton, S. C., Arnold, B. J., Gonçalves, D., Granli, P., Poole, J., Long, R. A., & Pringle, R. M. (2021). Ivory poaching and the rapid evolution of tusklessness in African elephants. Science, 374(6566), 483-487. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abe7389

I am sorry guys I lied, this paper was not Open Access but messsage me or email me and I can send you a PDF!
