Who Wins? Lacrymaria vs Halteria (Protists🔬) | Micro Match-up Round 1

🔬 Can YOU predict who wins?

Lacrymaria olor vs Halteria — two microscopic organisms with very
different superpowers. Watch the intro, pause on the stat screen, make
your prediction… then hit play.

This is Round 1 of our Micro Match-up series — real microscope footage
of protist predator-prey interactions, developed with Duke University
ecologist Dr. Jean Philippe Gibert, who studies microbial food webs and
evolution in a changing world. Learn more about his lab at https://jeanpgibert.weebly.com/
