Ep. 284 : Annika Wilcox, Salamanbro
<p>After my recent jaunt to go visit some migrating salamanders, I had so many questions. For years I have been making my pilgrimage to visit the salamanders as they make their ways to their breeding pools. All the while, I have been reading about “Unisexual Ambystomas” and was confused by the complexity of “the complex”, a small group of closely related salamanders and sperm stealers. Yeah, sperm stealers. </p><p>After I heard some friends had ran into a local salamander afficionado, Annika Wilcox, I asked if she would like to hang out on air for an hour to discuss her love for the Order <strong>Urodela</strong>. </p><p>I had so many questions of my own, along with questions from roommates, pals, and some of my students. I hope this helps us all learn a little bit more about those wild weird and wonderful amphwibians (<em>see what I did there?</em>).</p><p><strong>To learn more : </strong><br><a href="/podcast/ep282" target="_blank">Ep. 282 : Spotted Salamander Migration</a></p><p></p>
