Last thing we learned? That there's way more to explore in biodiversity and conservation than meets the eye. Enough for 500+ pages. #ees028

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

The 50-500 rule shows that there's a difference in ways to consider population viability. #ees028 #songdodo

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

The bounty placed on thylacines, as well as the destruction of their habitat, all added up to their eventual extinction. #ees028

"Islands are where species go to die..." -Quammen #ees028

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

Relictual species, like the ratities, have moved to their current single locations, but have been wiped out on the mainland. #ees028

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

Who was Wallace? Reading #songdodo opened perspectives on him, Darwin and their research. #ees028

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

It was interesting to hear about lots of rare species (tenerecs, birds of paradise, brown tree snakes) and their huge impactss #ees028

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

Wallace's Line is a great example of continental divides in species dispersal. #walacesline #ees028 #songdodo

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

We can use island biogeography to study fragmented habitats #ees028 #songdodo

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

Being outside for our discussion of #ees028 definitely heightened the experience. #classoutside

Could we bring back some of the hallmark icons of extinction, like the passenger pigeon? Yes, and we're trying. #ees028

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

It's not clearly the case that genetic variation is absolutely necessary anymore, taking the cheetah as an example. #ees028 #clones

"It's not a velociraptor we're trying to bring back, and dinosaurs aren't extinct, many of them live among us..." #ees028 #nprsciencefriday

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

Is a frog that lays its babies in its mouth just inefficient? Or is something (us, fungus,etc.) else to blame for extinction? #ees028 #frogs

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

3 reasons:This frog represents a whole family gone from the world, medically it's fascinating and it's extinct because of humans. #ees028

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

Researchers in Australia are very far along in synthesizing reproducing DNA and cells from extinct frogs! #ees028

[Emily Poche @rockstreesemily]

The Lazarus project is definitely giving me Jurassic Park flashbacks, especially since frogs are involved. #ees028 #deextinctionpodcast

Just say no to tuna, okay? #ees028 #conservationproblems #useitandloseit
