- Marmotology (GROUNDHOGS) with Daniel Blumstein
- Description
- <p>Tongue twisters. Frosty holidays. Scandals. Big ol’ rodent butts. Let’s talk groundhogs with UCLA conservationist, field biologist, professor and Marmotologist, Dr. Daniel Blumstein. We cover what broadly is a marmot, the Buddhism and paganism of the midwinter slump, marmot parenthood, what they are singing into the wind, how to co-exist with one in your garden, why they don't get stressed about holiday bingeing, the real estate layout of a groundhog lair, how and why we celebrate Groundhog Day, romantic advice you should not take from a marmot, what to do if you want a marmot as a pet, why their blood boggled science, and the wandering etymology behind their aliases. It’s an episode you’ll want to hear over and over. And over. And over. And over. </p><p>Visit the <a href="https://blumsteinlab.eeb.ucla.edu/" target="_blank">Blumstein Lab</a> and follow Dr. Blumstein on <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=cFbbY_gAAAAJ&hl=en" target="_blank">Google Scholar</a></p><p>A donation went to the <a href="https://www.rmbl.org/" target="_blank">Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory</a></p><p><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/marmotology">More episode sources and links</a></p><p>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/sciuridology">Sciuridology (SQUIRRELS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/hydrochoerology">Hydrochoerology (CAPYBARAS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/castorology">Castorology (BEAVERS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/erethizonology">Erethizonology (PORCUPINES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/urbanrodentology">Urban Rodentology (SEWER RATS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/mammalogy">Mammalogy (MAMMALS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/procyonology">Procyonology (RACCOONS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/lutrinology">Lutrinology (OTTERS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/urocynology">Urocyonology (LITTLE GRAY FOXES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/witchology">Witchology (WITCHES & WITCHCRAFT)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/thermophysiology">Thermophysiology (BODY HEAT)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/acarology">Acarology (TICKS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/vampirology">Vampirology (VAMPIRES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/environmentaltoxicology">Environmental Toxicology (POISONS + TRAIN DERAILMENT)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/roadecology">Road Ecology (ROAD KILL)</a></p><p><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a></p><p><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a></p><p><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a></p><p><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month</p><p><a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!</p><p>Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a></p><p>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p><p>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" target="_blank">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/" target="_blank">Jake Chaffee</a></p><p>Managing Director: Susan Hale</p><p>Scheduling Producer: Noel Dilworth</p><p>Transcripts by Aveline Malek </p><p>Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank">Kelly R.
