Episode Synopsis "8. Aquatic Insects and Freshwater Health with Dave Penrose and Jason York"

Biologists Dave Penrose and Jason York visit The Fusion Forest to  talk about aquatic insects, benthic macroinvertebrates and the  importance of these small animals to healthy streams, rivers and  wetlands, from a functional and a management perspective.  We talk about  the biology and ecology of these creatures, how their behavior relates  to the water quality and nutrient cycling of freshwater habitats, the  impacts of human activities on their health, how these organisms are  utilized to characterize streams, their role in ecological restoration  and more.
