  You've heard it before: Think Globally, act locally. Sometimes that means buying local food, or carpooling. But when you get down to it, what's more local than your child's school?

The War Between Bats and Moths

SciWorks Radio is a production of 88.5 WFDD and SciWorks, the Science Center and Environmental Park of Forsyth County, located in Winston-Salem.

  Today we're talking about an arms race that's been escalating in our skies - for about 65 million years. The war between Bats and moths is driven by natural selection, which is the engine of evolution. This is how it 

  works: An individual organism is born with a mutation that gives it an advantage for survival. Maybe its better at finding food or avoiding predators, but it lives longer and produces more offspring.
