The Anthropo Scene Podcast
A podcast exploring biology, ecology, and introduced and invasive species around the world. We are interested in super neat science about nature, and how humans interact with the nature, wildlife, and the rest of our environment.
We take a serious approach to research, and a less serious approach to the delivery, so we can all have a bit more fun along the way.
In loving memory of Nicholas McCarney.
The Anthropo Scene Podcast
Snip 2.2.5 Dim The Lights Down Low
Anthropo Snips are a quick look at new(ish) interesting papers and concepts related to anthropogenic impacts on natural ecosystems.
Today’s Paper
A look at how artificial light at night, or ALAN, is actually even worse than we thought it was (yay?), enjoy!
