Talking Feral

OwlTail

Curtis and Mark are joined by Andrea Wishart to talk all things squirrel. Andrea is a Ph.D. student at the University of Saskatchewan and an evolutionary and behavioral ecologist studying red squirrels in the Yukon. This is a fun look at one of Canada’s most underrated, abundant, and accessible wildlife species. Topics covered include red squirrel biology, life span, territory size, boom and bust cycles, predator avoidance, food refrigeration, bequeathing food caches, the motivation to store tree cones, turf wars, effects of logging a forest during the winter, middens, larder-hoarding, getting yelled at, Canada’s amazing Kluane region in the Yukon, squirrel rattling, Sabre-toothed squirrels, and the happy conclusion to Scrat’s story.

Ep 73 - Rattling Squirrels with Andrea Wishart

Andrea Wishart is a Ph.D student in biology at the University of Saskatchewan. Her research looks at red squirrel life history and caching behavior in the Yukon. In this two part episode we spoke about trying to be effective educators teaching remotely and while in grad school, about the ongoing inequalities in academia and how these manifest in field, and about how all these influences impact how we conduct science .
