Ep 21: Ants: bioindicators of climate change with Dr Chris Burwell

Because some of them bite, sting or pass on life-threatening diseases, lurk in our kitchens at night, or eat our garden plants, not to mention occasionally decimate our food crops, insects tend to get a bad rap. But that's not really fair. If they didn't exist, nor would we. In fact, because of our existence, theirs is under threat. And perhaps this AMAZINGLY diverse class of creatures can show us the impact we are having on the planet. There are scientists out there trying to do just that - and they could use a little help from you. One of those scientists is Queensland Museum Network's Dr Chris Burwell, Senior Curator of Insects. He's got an encyclopaedic knowledge of insects that he's going to share with you!
