Linnean Learning

What do parasites see when they look at the world around them? And how is a changing climate modifying the environments they thrive in? As our climate shifts and changes, parasites too are on the move constantly looking for new hosts and new prospects. For parasites, it is the gold rush. We talk to Prof. Daniel Brooks about how climate change is expanding the reach of parasites and what options or tools we have to combat their impact us and ecosystems. As the COVID pandemic shows, there are many hidden ambushes waiting to happen. The Linnean Future Podcast Series is an initiative by The Linnean Society of London in response to the ongoing planetary emergency. This series brings you stories from around the world that explore the impacts of climate change on every aspect of our lives. Through the series we will be meeting researchers, practitioners, activists, lawyers, and others who are studying these climatic changes, tracking their causes and impacts, and working on solutions.
