Chris Doughty, an ecologist from Northern Arizona University, dives into the remarkable world after the dinosaurs. He discusses how their extinction triggered a fruit explosion, paving the way for modern ecosystems. Doughty explores the connection between the demise of these giants and the evolution of larger seeds and fruit-bearing plants. He also draws parallels between dinosaurs and today’s ecological influencers, urging reflection on our role in current extinction trends and their impacts on biodiversity.
