022 - Effect of Homeostatic Disruptions

Paul Andersen explains how disruptions in homeostasis can affect biological systems at all levels. He uses the example of dehydration in animals to explain how disruptions at the cellular level can affect an organism. He also uses the example of the invasive brown tree snake in Guam to explain how disruptions can affect entire ecosystems.
