    Arthro-Pod Episode 208: The Fire Ant Wars Part One

    Welcome back bug lovers! This is the first of a two part series about the history of fire ants in the United States and the ways we responded to their presence in the south. Colloquially these could be referred to as the "FIRE ANT WARS"! You can imagine your own pulse pounding beat to idea... In this episode, we unpack how fire ants arrived in the US, the sequence of events that led to red imported fire ant becoming so common, and the first forays into understanding this pest.    Show Notes:  https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/F/bo3639751.html  https://extension.msstate.edu/introduction-fire-ants  https://fireant.tamu.edu/learn/history-of-the-red-imported-fire-ant/  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get the show through Apple Podcast, Spotify, or your favorite podcatching app!

    Arthro-Pod Episode 207: Teaching and research at a primarily undergraduate institution with Dr. Kevyn Juneau

    Welcome back, Arthro-Pod listeners! This week we chat with Kevyn Juneau, Associate Professor at University of Wisconsin - River Falls, about teaching and research at a primarily undergraduate institution (PUI). We take a deep dive into his habitat restoration work in the Bahamas and how teaching at a PUI is different from a larger (e.g., R1, land grant, state) university. Part of Kevyn's research has been conducted via collaborations made through the Ecological Research as Education Network, which helps connect folks at PUIs so they can conduct larger, more impactful work across broader geographic areas. __ Get the show through Apple Podcast, Spotify, or your favorite podcatching app!
