0:00.0 | Hey, folks, welcome back to the Port Prolls Omineck. |
0:17.5 | I'm excited to share with you a wonderful conversation I had here with Doug |
0:21.4 | Talami. Now, Dr. Doug Talami is an American entomologist, ecologist, and a conservationist. He's a |
0:28.5 | professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, |
