In this episode, we discuss the biology and the individual behavior of trees with Dr. Chuck Cannon, a Senior Scientist in Ecological Evolution at The Morton Arboretum. As an expert in forest evolution, wildlife, and conservation, Dr. Cannon brings a unique set of skills and knowledge to the Arboretum. Currently, his work focuses on two primary research questions:

1. How can we ensure that tree species maintain resilience and adaptability in rapidly changing, human-dominated environments, and how do naturally occurring hybridization and genetic exchange among interfertile species contribute to this process?
2. Can new technologies provide novel insights into tree biology, and how can the application of innovative tools and techniques overcome the challenges of studying trees?

In addition to diving into these questions, we explore:

How Dr. Cannon’s work shifted from primate research to the biology of trees.
How a forest is defined, and how this environment is created.
The ways that trees can indicate environmental quality.
What we can learn from trees.
The biggest threats that trees face.
