Jules is joined by Dr Chris Wilson of Imperial College London to talk about the pond's third coloniser, the charming (and wholly sexless) rotifers! We talk about how these animal have tamed time and space to become masters (mistresses?) of the world's temporary freshwaters. Enjoy!

Chris's biog and a link to all of his teams papers can be found here: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/chris.wilson

Thanks for listening! Don't forget, if you have pond-based questions don't forget to get on Twitter on Thursday nights between 6pm and 7pm and tag your questions with #wildaboutponds

Thanks! Jules
