Aquaculture outreach at Iowa State evolves with industry

Sure, bats are creepy. They hang upside down, and turn up in movies as blood-sucking fiends. But did you know -- tequila is produced from agave plants whose seed production drops to 1/3,000th of normal without bat pollinators.

Balancing the need for natural resources with the necessity of ecological stewardship is the great challenge of our generation.
