Meet the Mesopredators with Laura Prugh

Laura Prugh is an Associate Professor of Quantitative Wildlife Sciences at the University of Washington. There, she studies the dynamics of wildlife populations and communities, with a particular interest in facilitation, trophic interactions, and indirect effects. She joins Nate on this episode of The Show About Science to talk about mesopredators, apex predators and what we can learn by studying complex food webs.

And make sure to check out my other podcast, The Show About Politics! It's a little bit of history, a dash of civics, some current events and a whole lot of fun!!
