Podcast 83 - Dead End Conversations; The Evolutionary Impact of Ecological Specialization
In this episode, the gang
discusses two papers about the long term macroevolutionary effects
of ecological specialization. Is specialization on a specific
ecology an evolutionary dead end? The gang attempts to answer that
question, but they keep getting distracted. Also, James shares life
experiences, Amanda imagines a nightmarish future for James, and
Curt workshops the plot of a new epic animated experience.
