Café Sci: Scratching Each Other's Backs

A clownfish and a sea anemone walk into a bar. They promptly establish a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship where in return for cleaning and providing nutrients for the anemone, the clownfish is protected from predators by the anemone.

Join our two speakers talking about what happens when species join forces and cash in on co-evolution.
