Lab Notes: Bogong moths bounce back?
Notas del episodio
Across south-eastern Australia, bogong moths seem to be everywhere.
A few years ago, it was a different picture: scientists witnessed a population crash, and habitat threats put the species on the IUCN Red List. Are we seeing a bogong bounce-back? Jonathan Webb speaks to Dr Kate Umbers about these incredible critters, the many unsolved mysteries of their lives — and what their future could look like.
