Doug Emlen has been working at the University of Montana for around 25 years, but he's been studying beetles for even longer. Emlen has always been interested in the extremes of the animal kingdom, and the huge horns on some of the beetles he studies caught his eye. Since then, he's learned the ins and outs of beetle battle. In this Kaimin Cast episode, editor Elinor Smith talks to Doug Emlen about his research and how we can apply it to the world around us.

This week, we're talking about weapons: both the ones that evolve in nature, and those created by humanity. We'll talk about the arms races that spur the development of horns and claws, warships and nuclear weapons, with Doug Emlen, Professor in the Division of Biological Sciences at the University of Montana, and author of "Animal Weapons: The Evolution of Battle."
This episode comes to you live from the historic Roxy Theatre in Missoula, MT as part of the 41st Annual International Wildlife Film Festival. We were able to chat with Dr. Doug Emlen, professor of biology at University of Montana and author of Animal Weapons: The Evolution of Battle. We talk about the parallels between weapons in the comic book multivese and those that have evolved across the tree of life. Camouflage, horns, claws, and human technology - we've got you covered.

In this episode, we conduct an examination of University of Montana's robust culture of science and scientists. Interviews with Doug Emlen and Bret Tobalske.
In a very special episode #100, we talk to Dr. Doug Emlen, Professor of Biology at the University of Montana and author of the new book Animal Weapons, about animals that don't back down from a fight (unless it makes evolutionary sense to do so), and Doug shares all his tips on how to tell the story of evolution to everyone when you're used to writing for academics.

We talk with biologist Douglas Emlen, who says that the evolution of animal weapons, in everything from dung beetles to saber tooth tigers, has him very worried about our HUMAN weapons (starts 4:20) . . . and listeners are invited to join the Sunday, December 14th 73rd Boulder Audubon Christmas Bird Count Hosts: Jane Palmer, Beth Bennett Producer: Shelley Schlender Engineer: Shelley Schlender Executive Producers: Kendra Krueger, Jane Palmer Listen to the show:
