Shrimp are underwater bugs? Or are bugs flying shrimp? In this one, we’re talking about crustaceans. From land crabs the size of dinner plates to tiny krill that feed the whales, this group holds some cool members. Don’t know what crustaceans are?

We’ve been talking about branches on the Tree of Life for weeks now, so I figured it was time to talk about what a species even is. And what the hell does it have to do with conservation? Why does it matter if there is one species of River dolphins in the river basins of Brazil or three? Why do we care how many species of humpback dolphins there are in the world—especially if you need genetics to distinguish them?   Full show notes, references, and transcript: https://katehildenbrand.com/episode/what-the-hell-is-a-species/ ===SUPPORT=== To keep this channel advertising-free, become a Patreon supporter, make a one-time contribution, or donate products I need. https://www.patreon.com/katehildenbrand https://www.buymeacoffee.com/katehildenbrand https://www.amazon.de/hz/wishlist/ls/19JZ2YTTE12B?ref_=wl_share Your support is what makes this podcast possible.

After spending a day watching propaganda from both sides on the state of fish populations and fisheries, I couldn’t help but talk about sustainable fisheries. Or rather, I'll be talking about Ray Hilborn and his pro-fisheries bullshit, as well as Seaspiracy, propaganda from the other extreme.
