Episode description

Western North American landscapes are driven by ecological disturbances. That might mean wildfire, insect outbreaks, or gophers. In the Colorado River and other western North American streams, that means droughts and floods. The trouble happens when humans come along and build dams that prevent those disturbances from happening. My guest today is Dr. Dave Lytle, a Professor of Evolution and Ecology at Oregon State University who uses western North American rivers as a laboratory to understand how disturbances drive the ecology and evolution of aquatic invertebrates.     Learn more about Dr. Dave Lytle by going to his website here: https://lytlelab.science.oregonstate.edu/ You can follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok @wtf_biology Music is by Dr. Ron Deckert.
