Lab Notes: What's in store for wildlife this summer?
Notas del episodio
Over the past few years, our environment seems to have experienced multiple extreme events in quick succession.
With a summer fuelled by what may be the strongest and wettest El Niño ever, can our wildlife withstand more extremes?
Jonathan Webb speaks with Professor Euan Ritchie about what we're currently seeing with flying foxes, what could happen to other species over the summer, and what we can do to help our native creatures.
