16. The lake on the edge - a podcast by University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute
from 2021-05-12T06:00
The miniscule Spiny waterflea was introduced into Madison’s Lake Mendota and lurked undetected for years. This hour, Bonnie and Sydney take a new look at a well-studied lake and try to figure out how an introduced species can float below science’s radar for so long.
