Invasive Jumping Worms | Brad Herrick | Kickapoo Valley Reserve

Talk Description: Jumping worms are a non-native invasive species to Wisconsin and the Midwest U.S. This talk will focus on general earthworm biology and ecology, potential impacts of the jumping worm to forests and gardens, and potential control options.
Presenter: Brad Herrick holds a BA in biology from Luther College and an MS in ecosystems studies from UW-Green Bay. He is the ecologist and research program manager at the UW-Madison Arboretum. His research interest include plant community ecology, invasion biology, and environmental monitoring. He also assists in developing long-term restoration plans for Arboretum lands. Recently has has been investigating the biology, ecology, and control mechanisms of the non-native, invasive jumping worm.
The Ralph Nuzum Lecture Series is brought to you by the Ralph E Nuzum Kickapoo Reforestation Fund through the UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, the Friends of Kickapoo Valley Reserve, and supported by Badger Talks.

so sorry but I really couldnt watch 90 mins of this. the first few seconds seemed to dry as it is. I promise I literally mean no disrespect. Perhaps it is me, but definately affecting many. information needs to come thick and fast! We are in the age where James Hansen has told us the REAL climate forcings have set our thermostat to +10. time is REAL short... The clickbait title dragged me here. my motive. understanding a new type of worm I never heard of... purpose: to quickly determine why it exists and what nature intends for it. I am sorry but people need to wake up fast... we are already past the time we need to be building multiple seed banks and gene arks. Please make an illustrated or animated PRIMER version of 20 mins or less. It honestly, took me less time than this video to sit down with AI and develop a pioneering new method of desalinating water with heat pumps. instant fresh water at an energy profit in a solid and transportable form and this methodology harnesses natures ways, because sea ice naturally excretes the mineral salts and co2. we can make ice with heat pumps and then capture the brine for the resource pot of minerals AND essentially just shake the brine like soda to release the co2 extremely cheaply. And I have so many other ways to capture carbon and make use of it. Help me save the worms. give it to me in a way my special brain can digest

PS feel free to take that to AI and work it out for yourselves. that is a free for the world invention i give freely.
