Biodiversity and adaptation

Niche, Ranges, and Physiological Adaptations

In this episode, Charlotte and Michael dive into the key themes from BIO120 lectures 13 to 15, from defining ecology and species' ranges, to climatic niche axes and animal ecophysiology. Listen as they break down species' distribution, the impact of climate, and fascinating physiological adaptations to environmental challenges. Highlights include real case studies—from mountain lions and pikas to polar bears and weasels.
