Minibeasts
A nonfiction list dedicated to learning about the most numerous animals on our planet - the tiny and mighty minibeasts!
"Minibeasts" is an informal term used to describe small invertebrates - this includes, but is absolutely not limited to, insects, arachnids, snails, slugs, and worms! Would you call it a creepy crawly or a bug? Then it's probably a minibeast!
List name has been altered to differentiate it from the quest. I'll likely remove the list soon, as a heads up 💚
Ologies Podcast Suggestions
Ologies is a weekly science podcast hosted by Alie Ward. Each episode, Ward interviews an expert from a distinct scientific field.
This unofficial list contains book suggestions made by the host or by her guests. I avoided extremely technical books or papers. Currently from episode 1 to 525 More details on these books and their associated episodes in my ever evolving spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet there are also books not found on Goodreads and general book recommendations (like the entire bibliography of a specific author or group of people)
So you want to study ecology and evolution 🐒
Read these books first! Take a deep dive into the wonderful ecosystems that have evolved over millions of years and realise that humans are not as unique as we like to think.
It’s much cheaper than a degree (coming from a conservation and ecology major) 🤪
