The rules of beetle battle: what do dung beetles have to do with geo-politics?

Doug Emlen has been working at the University of Montana for around 25 years, but he's been studying beetles for even longer. Emlen has always been interested in the extremes of the animal kingdom, and the huge horns on some of the beetles he studies caught his eye. Since then, he's learned the ins and outs of beetle battle. 

In this Kaimin Cast episode, editor Elinor Smith talks to Doug Emlen about his research and how we can apply it to the world around us.
