Here is a new video podcast from Lee Stevens, a rising junior at Brown University. In this episode Lee takes a closer look at corals. Corals tend to be known as home to a dynamic menagerie of animals, bacteria and plants, but the coral itself is also a pulsating community in it’s own right.

Here is another student contribution to the CreatureCast series, by Nathaniel Chu. Nathaniel is a sophomore at Brown University, and was in Casey Dunn’s Invertebrate Zoology course last fall. In this audio piece, Nathaniel talks (and sings) about sea stars, from their run-in with the oyster industry in the early 1900’s, to their profound influence on that stretch of land between high tide and low tide, known as the intertidal zone.
Also featured are the voices of Dr. Chris Harley from the University of British Columbia, and Dr. Mark Bertness of Brown University.

This is the fourth of four contributions from undergraduates in Casey Dunn’s Bio0041 Invertebrate Zoology class. This episode is inspired by the fascinating behavior of the flamingo tongue snail, Cyphoma gibbosum, which is described in further detail in Casey Dunn’s earlier post.

This installment of CreatureCast is the second of several contributions that were done as final projects by undergraduate students in Casey Dunn’s Invertebrate Zoology class at Brown University. In episode 4, sophomore Noah Rose delves into the bottom half of the circle of life, where dead things decompose and elements that can then be incorporated into other living organisms are liberated. Noah discusses how the many-legged worms we tend to think of as fish bait impact this process.

This installment of CreatureCast is the first of several contributions that were done as final projects by undergraduate students in Casey Dunn’s Bio0410 Invertebrate Zoology class at Brown University. In episode 3 sophomore Lee Stevens discusses how comb jellies move the same way that many single-celled organisms do, which is remarkable given how much bigger comb jellies are.
