What does it take to study the natural world up close? In this episode, your hosts, Sujai & Emmi, explore the dual challenges of understanding species’ remarkable adaptations to environmental change and navigating the risks of fieldwork. Our guest, Dr Katja Rönkä, shares fascinating insights into the behavioral and evolutionary strategies animals use to survive, from cuckoos outsmarting their hosts to predators learning to avoid toxic prey. Katja also dives into the realities of field research—staying calm in disorienting reeds, avoiding encounters with moose and ticks, and the life-saving magic of duct tape! This episode is packed with stories and advice for aspiring field biologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
