How Bumblebees, Hummingbirds And Their Food Source React To Climate Change At High Altitude

Cool Science Radio speaks with Dr. David Inouye, a research ecologist at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory near Crested Butte, Colorado, where he has spent summer field seasons since 1971. He is also professor emeritus at the University of Maryland. His long-term studies of the timing of the biological events in plants and animals are being used now to provide insights into the effects of climate change at high altitudes.
