Animation, Design In this QUEST episode local bay area researchers are featured as they un-cover a new species of beetle in California's Trinity Alps and its possible relatives located miles away in Washington State. Over the course of the episode Darwin's theories of evolution are shown to be still relevant today as when first published 150 years ago.
Using highly detailed USGS maps and the path of the beetles, this series of animations traces the course of the beetle's evolutionary cousins across two states and millions of years.
