CheloniaCast is joined by Dr. Kristin Berry, an expert in desert tortoises and a key player in their study. The conversation covers various topics both in Dr. Berry's personal upbringing into the world of tortoises and about the ecology of desert tortoises holistically. This episode dives into subjects like invasive vegetation, survival rates of relocated tortoises, and desert tortoise evolutionary biology.
