Duncan irschick Talks to Tiphaine Jeanniard-du-Dot about accelerometers, energy expenditure and Antarctic fur seals Jeanniard-du-Dot, T., Guinet, C., Arnould, J. P.Y., Speakman, J. R. and Trites, A.

Do more diverse mixtures of plants function more efficiently and take up more carbon? Previous studies have suggested this occurs frequently in grasslands when species are mixed. Other studies have now suggested that the same can be true of genetic mixtures within a species. In this podcast, Dylan G. Fischer talks about the results of the first forest ecosystem-scale experiment designed to test if...
