Show Notes

"Who are the Kim Kardashians in our ecological network?” -Dr. Rachel Meyer 

So we're really trying to discover which plants really change the whole community network.. We still don't know the rules of complex communities, how they get built, how they're maintained and how they fall apart. And I think eDNA's a rapid way to advance ecological theory about how interdependent we all are on other species.”
