Dung Dynasty: The quiet insect powerhouses behind healthy pastures and clean waterImagine if Jerome Bettis could lift 168 Knute Rockne statues, or we could navigate using the Milky Way, or your job saved the U.S. cattle industry an estimated $380 million every year. Impossible? No, not if you’re a dung beetle. These wee beasties can do the same amazing things across the globe, and are one of the greatest gifts to farmers in terms of food security, profit margins, and human health.
Speaker: Lee Rafuse Haines, Ph.D., Associate Research Professor, Department of Biological Sciences
