Ent-ertaining Extinction with Dr. Adam Hasik
Description
In our final episode (for now), we chat to Dr. Adam Hasik, who has been working as a postdoc as part of the Fangorn Ent Project, a massive, long-term study investigating the spatial and social structure of the Ent populations within Fangorn. Beyond understanding the Ent populations themselves, Adam is also interested in understanding how these "mobile islands" interact with and are affected by the local environment. We also learn about how an Ent extinction might impact the ecosystem, Ent ethics, and what is up with the Ent wives?
