Understanding the climate vulnerability of social bees | The story behind the paper

For today's episode, Ivy is joined by Francis Mullan and Clint Penick, authors of a recently published paper in the Journal of Animal Ecology, "Nesting biology shapes climate vulnerability of social bees".

Francis and Clint reflect on their own paths into animal ecology, the context behind conducting their research, their main questions and findings, and how their discoveries can support and inform the research area moving forward. They also share some funny stories and tips on working with bees.
