Nel corso della sua attività come biologo marino alle Maldive, Charles Anderson ha notato un'improvvisa invasione di libellule in determinati periodi dell'anno. E in questo intervento spiega come ha attentamente ricostruito il percorso di una piccola, semplice libellula chiamata "globe skimmer", finendo per scoprirne le migrazioni, le più lunghe di qualsiasi insetto al mondo.

Charles Anderson studies marine life in the Maldives, a nation of coral atolls in the Indian ocean. Full bio »
