The Biologic Podcast

In this final episode on our phylogenetic exploration of the deutereostomes and the vertebrates, we'll take a look at the taxonomy and biodiversity of the mammals. The clade is the least species-rich of all the vertebrates, but their size and abundance make them key shapers of terrestrial, and many aquatic, ecosystems.

In this exciting episode of the podcast, we'll explore the taxonomy and biodiversity of the surviving descendants of the dinosaurs; the modern birds.

Hello and welcome to Episode 94! Today we'll be exploring the taxonomy of the reptiles, those sturdy tetrapods that diverged from their amphibian ancestors, during the warmer, drier period after the collapse of the Carboniferous rainforests.

Welcome to Episode 93! Today we follow the vertebrates as they evolve out of the water, by exploring the taxonomy and phylogeny of the amphibians.

Welcome to Episode 92! Today we will be exploring the taxonomy and phylogenetics of the most basal vertebrate clade; the fish.

Welcome to Episode 91! Today we'll introduce the Deuterostome animals, and explore the taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships within the most basal extant branch; the Echinoderms.

Welcome to Episode 90! This will be an exploration of the taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of the largest and most biodiverse animal clade on the planet; the Insects.

Welcome to Episode 89! Today we'll be exploring the enormous diversity of the crustaceans, from the tiniest arthropods that make up the zooplankton, to the largest crabs and lobsters.

Welcome to Episode 88! We'll dig into the earth to explore the terrestrial world of the millipedes, the centipedes, and all the tiny symphylans and pauropods.

Welcome to Episode 87! Today we'll begin an adventurous exploration of the arthropods, starting with the oldest arthropod lineage that has survived into the modern day: the arachnids!
