For our American listeners you may recognize the name Punxsutawney Phil (aka the star of Groundhog Day). This well known rodent has a lot more tricks up its sleeves than predicting whether or not there will be 6 more weeks of winter.

Dr. Florant, who specializes in animal hibernation, specifically Marmots not only shares his now widely used technique to catch marmots in the wild but also how these animals are able to survive with a body temperature just above freezing. **When we talk about hepatitis please note we are referencing Hep B, not C as mentioned.** To lear more about Dr. Florant and his research check out the links below! https://www.nsf.gov/bio/bioac/members/bio_sketch/Greg_Florant.pdf https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/02/000202075735.htm https://www.coloradoan.com/story/csu/2015/02/02/every-day-is-groundhog-day-for-csu-researcher/22599379/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POafue9RsuI https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2527986/ We cannot thank Dr. Florant enough for his time and sharing his knowledge with us!

We're back from our summer break! Joining us today is Dr. Andy Davis from the University of Georgia. In this episode we unpack the controversial question of how well are our monarch butterfly populations really doing? To quote Dr. Andy Davis "I have many research interests, although I consider myself an animal ecologist, with a strong emphasis on all things physiological. My work straddles the disciplines of physiology, disease ecology, parasitology, hematology, and natural history. The majority of this work involves studying how animals' physiologies respond to their environments, and most of my previous and current projects address issues related to this subject. " Additionally [his] work is not limited to any one taxon, but spans the disciplines of ornithology, entomology and herpetology." We cannot thank Dr. Andy enough for sharing his time and knowledge!
