We're Back! Exploring Pocket-Sized Ecosystems in Nature

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of Wildly Curious (formerly For the Love of Nature), co-hosts Katy Reiss and Laura Fawks Lapole return after a break with an exploration of pocket-sized ecosystems, also known as microcosms. From tiny worlds hidden in moss to intricate ecosystems found in epiphytes, they discuss how these small habitats thrive and support a surprising amount of biodiversity. Whether it’s a mossy patch or a fern nestled in a tree, these microcosms show that big things often come in small packages.

Perfect for nature lovers, science enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the hidden worlds beneath their feet.
