I normally don't watch Biology stuff but watched this anyway due to KZfaq's suggestion playlist. I think their algorithm knows more about me than myself. Really enjoyed this lecture and learnt something new today. Thanks to the Ri.

This lecture carries an extremely positive message, that if we make the right corrections, damage to nature can be readily fixed. I was very impressed by the style and content of this lecture, and by no means did I think it was unnecessarily padded as some commenters below suggest.

this seems to be one of the Ri Christmas lectures, which are primarily for kids. I particularly like the way he doesn't at all talk 'down' to his audience. Great talk.

This video was my first encounter with Dr. Carroll, watching a few years ago. Just re-watching with my wife. He became one of my favorite writers as well. For example: Brave Genius, Remarkable Creatures, Endless Forms Most Beautiful. I read these books, and yinz all should too!

In the Teton and Yellowstone Park not only do the wolves reduce the numbers of browsers but the animals avoid the cover of the aspen and other small trees because the the wolves use the cover to ambush them. The browsers concentrate down in the open prairie of Jackson Hole and Yellowstone valley. The mountain pika are getting a a little extra chance to survive as well because foxes and coyotes, their major predictor, is being driven out by the wolves. It shows that wolves have been a boon for the area in more ways than imagined.
