Season 3 Episode 2: Immersed in Pikas
Episode 2
Tuesday, 4 November, 2025
Join us for the cutest episode we've ever done (and also potentially the most-cited). In this episode we discuss all things American Pika, including one of the most complex meal preps in the animal kingdom! Find us on all the things: http://linktr.ee/bearsandbrewspodcastSources Cited:ArborAssays. “Climate Stress and the American Pika – Arbor Assays.” Arbor Assays, 21 July 2017, www.arborassays.com/climate-stress-american-pika/.Bolen, Anne. “Have Pikas Peaked?” National Wildlife Federation, 2015, www.nwf.org/Magazines/National-Wildlife/2016/DecJan/Conservation/Pikas.Buchholz, Lauren. “Pikas & Climate Change, Colorado Pika Project.” Colorado Pika Project, 14 Nov. 2020, pikapartners.org/pikas-and-climate-change/.Dearing, M.
