Podcasts about exotic species

Bob sits down with Greg and Sam to discuss one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, invasive plants. It's such a dense topic that we decided to break it up into 4 separate episodes. In part 1, we introduce the concept of native and non-native invasive plants. Greg and Sam provide a big picture perspective on the human systems that are driving the spread of invasive plants and invite you to join us in starting a more meaningful conversation around invasive plants and their impact on our environment.  Related Episodes: Invasive Plants, Walnut Woods For more information, we recommend these resources: Book: Invasive Plants: Guide to Identification and the Impacts and Control of Common North American Species by Sylvan Ramsey Kaufman & Wallace Kaufman Invasive and Exotic Species of North America National Association of Invasive Plant Councils (check out what is happening in your state around invasive species management)  UN Invasive Alien Species Report

 Ask anyone what they're doing for wildlife habitat and you're sure to hear mention of the challenges of invasive species. From aquatic invasive species that restructure entire food webs of Great Lakes to carpets of exotic grasses changing fire regimes in the west, invasive species are everywhere. In this episode, Jarred and Adam first dig in on the science of invasive species and discuss the challenges they present for wildlife and wildlife habitat. Then, we feature short discussions with Dawn Slack of The Nature Conservancy in Indiana to hear about her team's hand-to-hand combat with invasive plants and Bronson Strickland to get the scoop on invasive feral pigs in the southeast.       Help us improve the podcast by taking this Habitat University Listener Feedback Survey: https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5oteinFuEzFCDmm This episode's guests included Dawn Slack from the the Nature Conservancy in Indiana (https://www.nature.org/en-us/about-us/where-we-work/united-states/indiana/) and Dr. Bronson Strickland from Mississippi State University (http://extension.msstate.edu/wildlife-fisheries-aquaculture/dr-bronson-strickland).

In this episode, I speak to Dr Thomas Donnelly on how to apply advanced clinical reasoning to exotic species. We discuss the different types of clinical reasoning and how to effectively use the intuitive and analytical diagnostic approaches. We also talk through several medical scenarios where Dr Donnelly shows us how he effectively applies clinical reasoning to his exotic pet cases. Dr Thomas Donnelly is a Diplomate of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine, a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in Exotic Companion Mammals and a Diplomate of the European College of Zoological Medicine in Small Mammals. He is currently the Co-Head of the Exotic Animal Service and a Research Professor at the French National Veterinary School in Alfort. Dr Donnelly has published many journal publications and has been the author of several chapters in the book: Ferrets, Rabbits and Rodents: Clinical Medicine and Surgery, as well as the co-editor of the book: Veterinary Clinical Adviser: Birds and Exotic Pets. He is also one of the Exotic medicine consultants on VIN.

On today's episode we talk with Capt. Brant Peacher of Angler Up With Brant out of Pensacola, FL. He tells us about a recent trip to South Florida where he chased snook & tarpon and ended up getting pretty thick into the exotic species; Peacock Bass, Ciclids & Oscars that all thrive in the warm fresh water canals around the Naples, FL area. In keeping with the Angler Up tradition, he is cooking the Peacock Bass while we talk! Be sure to keep an eye out for the video that he should be putting out soon to see if it makes for good table fare. 

Trond Larsen shares his recent journey to Bolivia’s Zongo Valley, a haven for lost and forgotten species. Richard Preston teaches us about the would above our heads in tree canopies. Mike Benton of the Univ of Bristol discusses dinosaur extinction theory.

On this month’s episode, Alex and Simona were meant to discuss non-native species in the archaeological record. What actually happened is a mix of exotic pets, headphone-wearing animals and helpful ancient Roman advice.
