The Goldenrod and the Gallfly: The Evolution of an Interaction

The Goldenrod and the Gallfly: The Evolution of an Interaction is a 37-minute educational video produced by Paul Heinrich (Hemlock Scientific Films) and narrated by Warren Abrahamson. It is copyrighted (2001) by Bucknell University and is available here for educational use. The video illustrates the natural history of the multi-trophic-level system and discusses the ecology and evolution of the interacting organisms. It demonstrates how with careful, thorough observation and relatively simple tools, researchers have discovered details of the organisms’ evolutionary ecology.
