    The Biologic Podcast

    Welcome to the Biologic Podcast, an audio exploration of the incredible world of living things.

    The journey begins at the dawn of life, almost 4 billion years ago. In this ancient eon, biochemical reactions gave rise to ordered systems (the cell) capable of replication. The key to this replication is the genome, and the DNA itself.

    At this point, the journey expands in scope; we will explore the process of evolution, then move through hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history until we come to the modern day, to survey the modern world’s biodiversity. Then we’ll take a step back to look at the ecological interactions of all this life, and the resulting biomes that define the surface of our planet Earth.

    Our journey through the biological realm takes a sudden turn; having learned about life at the grandest scale, we now return to the ground, to look in greater detail at the various organisms that share this world with us. We first explore the physiology & diversity of plants, and then same for the fungi. Moving from flora to fauna, we explore the physiology & diversity of animals, up to and including the human being.

    The path is long and the lessons hard, but for the ever-curious listener, there are many great discoveries and insights to be had in the world of the biological.

    Latest Episodes:
    Episode 57 - Ferns Aug 15, 2019
    Show notes

    The ferns are an unassuming branch of the Kingdom Plantae; they prefer the shade under the canopy, they unfurl their leaves with the elegance of a violinist, and they quietly dominate the undergrowth of forests around the world.


    Episode 56 - Bryophytes Aug 15, 2019
    Show notes

    The bryophytes are an ancient lineage of simple plants, so simple they don't even have true vasculature systems. These small plants have a subtle but influential role in their ecology, and they serve as an evolutionary bridge between the simple algae, and more complex plants.


    Episode 55 - Green Algae Aug 15, 2019
    Show notes

    The green algae the most primitive of all the photosynthetic organisms in the plant lineage. They are the root of the family tree, the origin of the green vegetables, and the living legacy of the plant transition from water to land.


    Episode 54 - Photosynthesis Aug 15, 2019
    Show notes

    Photosynthesis is a process through which plants capture the energy in sunlight to synthesize sugars, but more fundamentally, its the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy, which sustains the entire chemical superreaction known as 'life'.


    Episode 53 - Plant Reproduction Aug 15, 2019
    Show notes

    Throughout their evolutionary history, plants have evolved diverse and complex means of reproduction, including spores and pollen grains, cones and flowers, and a wide range of symbiotic animal pollinators.


    Episode 52 - Plant Sensoria Aug 15, 2019
    Show notes

    The plants use a variety of mechanisms to sense the world around them; they can feel and respond to the water content of the soil, the temperature & humidity, and even to the presence of herbivores.


    Episode 51 - Plant Nutrition Aug 15, 2019
    Show notes

    Plants derive their nutrients from both the ground and the air; mineral nutrients are absorbed from the soil in which the roots are growing, and carbon is absorbed from the leaves as they sway in the air.


    Episode 50 - Plant Hydration Aug 15, 2019
    Show notes

    Due to the nature of their physiology, plant hydration involves a number of variables with disproportionate ecological impact, from the roots holding the soil together, to the evaporation influencing the climate.


    Episode 49 - Plant Development Aug 15, 2019
    Show notes

    A brief introduction to the basics of plant physiology, covering basic plant development from young seed to mature adult.


    Episode 48 - Tropical Forest Aug 15, 2019
    Show notes

    The tropical forests are some of the most biodiverse regions on the planet, dense with vegetation, and home to a breath-taking abundance & variety of exotic creatures.
