Episode 202 - Fungi and Animals

  • Summary

  • It’s the final part of our fungal trilogy!

    Fungi and animals interact in a wide variety of ways, from parasitism to partnership to predation. This episode, we explore how fungi and animals have evolved alongside each other and the adaptations they have developed to take advantage of each other, and we’ll examine how far back we can find these fungus-animal interactions in the fossil record.

    In the news: pterosaur feet, sauropod tails, a Cretaceous crater, and fossil fireflies.
