The Biologic Podcast episodes
- Episode 86 - Mollusks
Welcome to Episode 86! Enjoy a brief overview of each major clade, and the evolutionary relationships, within the Mollusk phylum.
35 min - Episode 85 - World of Worms
Welcome to Episode 85, which will explore all the worms and worm-like creatures that live across our planet, in all habitats, in all ecological niches.
49 min - Episode 84 - Protostomes & Deuterostomes
Very early in the evolutionary history of animals, there was a divergance that would ultimately lead to the creation of two major divisions in the Kingdom Animalia; the Protostomes & Deuterostomes. In this episode, we'll explore this ancient evolutionary split, the physiological differences between the two clades, and the modern descendant species that represents them today.
47 min - Episode 83 - Animal Hormones
The animal endocrine system is a complex decentralized chemical communication network that coordinates growth and homeostasis across the whole organism. Hormones are a critical component of this system, and we'll explore the many forms they can take. And while we're on the topic of glands, we'll also cover the basics of the exocrine system.
53 min - Episode 82 - Animal Nerves
Today we'll examine the chemistry, anatomy, and physiology of the animal nervous system, from action potentials to neural circuits to animal behavior.
50 min - Episode 81 - Animal Immunity
In this episode, we'll explore the complex dynamics of the defensive system that protects animals from the countless microbes and pathogens they encounter every day: the immune system!
45 min - Episode 80 - Animal Respiration
In this episode, we'll explore both the chemistry and physiology of animal respiration. This will also involve a brief exploration of the cardiovascular system, which is integral to the function of the respiratory system.
47 min - Episode 79 - Animal Form & Function
The subtle but foundational relationship between form and function can be seen at all levels of biological organization, from cells to tissues to organs to limbs and body plans.
53 min - Episode 78 - Animal Movement
The ability to move, freely & autonomously, is one of the defining characteristics of all but the most basal animals, distinguishing them from the stationary plants, and the creeping fungi.
40 min - Episode 77 - Animal Reproduction
Animals are some of the most complex and dynamic organisms on Earth, and their mechanisms for reproduction are just as varied and complex.

About The Biologic Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to the Biologic Podcast, an audio exploration of the incredible world of living things.
The journey begins at the dawn of life, almost 4 billion years ago. In this ancient eon, biochemical reactions gave rise to ordered systems (the cell) capable of replication. The key to this replication is the genome, and the DNA itself.
At this point, the journey expands in scope; we will explore the process of evolution, then move through hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history until we come to the modern day, to survey the modern world's biodiversity. Then we'll take a step back to look at the ecological interactions of all this life, and the resulting biomes that define the surface of our planet Earth.
Our journey through the biological realm takes a sudden turn; having learned about life at the grandest scale, we now return to the ground, to look in greater detail at the various organisms that share this world with us. We first explore the physiology & diversity of plants, and then same for the fungi. Moving from flora to fauna, we explore the physiology & diversity of animals, up to and including the human being.
For the ever-curious listener, there are many great discoveries and insights to be had in the world of the biological.
