One I particularly love is Radiolab, the NPR mix of nerdy science and audio bombast. Earlier this summer, its gregarious hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich produced an episode entirely on the Galapagos Islands. We all know the Galapagoss role as a laboratory of evolution. WebRADIOLAB Galapagos Aired in 2014, this episode describes some of the challenges faced by the Galapagos islands to protect their local species. It's customized for your needs, provides tools to manage your day to day needs and drive sales and helps make your idea real. I hope you enjoyed the producer tim. The water then drips down from the top of the trees down to the ground, creating what we call drip pools, which provides tortoises with water during the dry season and they like to rest in water. It does. And as he went island to island, he started noticing that there were all these creatures that were really similar to each other but also a little bit different. But speaking of beaks that finch that Arnaud was holding his beak, did you see the, especially this side is extremely huge. I sold car, who's your candidate? Yeah, she's opening a box with some of the birds, that little benson is the finches. Radiolab is supported in part by the Alfred P. Fund Foundation, enhancing public understanding of science and technology in the modern world. Well, now my last night there, I went to meet up with that guy Leonidas who was running for mayor. Listen. So then they thought we've got to take matters into our own hands basically. Mhm. You can just take the best pinta tortoises you find and put those on Penta and you know over the next 200,000 years they will evolve into a pinto tortoise and it could be a bit different than the past pinta tortoise because evolution and mutation and all that doesn't occur the same. It's hot, it's bright. Not on Penta that had a lot of Penta D. N. A. I remember very clearly the moment was very very exciting. This is Mathias espinosa and naturalist guide in the Galapagos and like linda. So they're all kind of converting over into the tourism economy. more about how IBM is using AI to help organizations create more resilient and sustainable infrastructure and operations by visiting IBM dot com slash sustainability this week on the new yorker radio hour, we're joined by Alan Alda Alda talks about growing up around burlesque shows his life as an actor, science feminism and how he took up podcasting in his eighties. And this is the place of course where Darwin landed in 1835. You know, they basically feed on the blood of the baby birds. She's a researcher at the Charles Darwin foundation. They introduced goats to Galapagos, but on islands like Isabella, which is this massive island size of Rhode island, The goats were actually penned into just little part of it Because there was this black lava rock that ran across the island, extremely rough lava that's extremely difficult to walk across 12 miles of it. Um and eventually you start um you know fondling their their legs and tails and hoping to get them to ejaculate and had a volunteer working with me, her name was favorite bridge oni. We then went to a wolf volcano island next door and collected two females. This is radio lab and we are dedicating the entire hour to this little set of islands and to that question as the world is filling up with more and more and more people, Is it inevitable that even the most sacred pristine places on the planet will eventually get swallowed up? So his name is, he is a naturalist guide. So how big a problem is this? This is Augustine Lopez's longtime fisherman. Oh my God, he looks a little bit furry, Almost really tiny, vulnerable fledgling of a warbler finch. Radiolab: Lucy. So she would end up relying on their songs. Humans. Yeah. We are dedicating a whole hour to the Galapagos archipelago, the place that inspired Darwins theory of evolution and natural selection. We are ascending and we have our dreams. It includes short essays, recommendations, and details about special events. Scientists had to find clever ways to help the turtles on the island! She says if we keep doing that, taking the babies with the most painted DNA, breeding them together slowly. In fact says that it's actually in the same family as the regular house fly, but it's actually a boat fly called the Lorna's down. Image credits: Rene via Adobe Stock. We're God, we might as well get good at it and we're going to have to create these ecosystems based on our best science. WebThe Galapagos Islands are famous for inspiring Charles Darwin to form his Theory of Evolution based on the biodiversity he'd observed there. On the other hand, you had all of these goats that didn't choose to be on the island. So nature has a boys now has the boys. I am a senior research scientist at Yale University and has come up with kind of a radical idea. So they lash out, they marched down Charles Darwin avenue, they would come down the street throwing rocks and sticks and everything. Galpagos - Radiolab And if you think of 100,000 goats eating everything in their path, every sort of plant that even the bark off of trees, they destroy the forest. And if you think about it, we all have this, we all have this this picture of what we want to bring it all back to. That's our working hypothesis which brings us to her idea. When he visited Galapagos, he collected a lot of specimens of finches, took them back to England and eventually he realized that the beaks had all adapted. Normally a female goat would be in heat for maybe a couple of days. Our fact checkers are diane kelly, Emily Krieger and Adam Sibyl Hi, I'm Erica in Yonkers leadership. Well, I talked to one scientist sonia klein door for I'm professor in animal behavior at flinders University, south Australia. silly. Shopify powers millions of entrepreneurs from first sale to full scale every 28 seconds. Can you imagine Schools of Hammerhead sharks like 500 800 passing in front of you like tuna. They would crush you to death. We thought about the worst years ever and all through that listener support was one of the things that kept us going. But to give an example of the nature of this business that's josh Donlan, he runs an NGO that was involved in project Isabella.

Steffi Basnet - 84 Galapagos Podcast Pt 2 - 7426314 I'm actually walking down Charles Darwin Avenue just kinda getting the lay of the land when all of a sudden this line of cars comes around the corner honking, endless honking and waving flags, blue flags. This foundation is this idea of pristine wilderness from the very beginning, I think all of us well I can't speak for other people, but but you always have this idea of wanting to get it back to some kind of pre human condition, pre human being, the operative word. journey, but that's the beauty of entrepreneurship. They hear your footsteps, they raised their heads, they come out to see what's going on and then they get whacked. These tortoises are only found here. I began my work in Galapagos in 1981. Oh for sure. Going back. I'm surrounded by shelves and on the shelves are these tiny little plastic cups that are filled with flies. Report for Radio Lab. Very special. Um, me and Brooke, they make announcements and at a certain point, the flight attendants, they open up all of the overhead bins and they walk up and down spraying some sort of insecticide for what for like invasive species. See? Some alligators, but you've got a crap load of fish, you've got a crap load of fungus, fun, fun, fun, fun guy, fungi, fungi or fungi, whatever, you know, Ravelli, whatever you take seriously. And that's where I thought oh something's changed in the system. Yeah, I mean powerful colors. Their mating calls. Galpagos - Podcast Yeah, I carried your oxygen and you walked beside me through the lobby commenting on the decor. Radio lab is supported by Teladoc. This hour is about the Galpagos archipelago, which inspired Darwins theory of evolution and natural selection. This is Radio Lab, and today elements. You know, they eat goats in africa, you know, why don't you get lions on there? And so the technique that we would use was you would fire up your helicopter, you fly around, you'd find some goats, capture goats, capture them live and then come back back to base camp, offload them and you put a radio collar on them and you throw them back on the island. But then she sees something amazing in that genetic data. Those arguments came up frequently to which carl would respond, Are we going to let tortoises go extinct. I mean like like sergeants.

Web9 1 Radiolab Podcasts and Streamers 1 comment Best BewareTheSphere 6 yr. ago A lot of WNYC podcasts do transcripts-- I know On the Media does. Do you remember the song types? People sent in dozens of tortoises but linda took one look at them and was like no, no no, no they weren't pinto's. Thanks for listening. You know, like nature in its purest form. And that is how they go from 90% go free to 91 to 92 to 93 to 94. Radiolab: Galpagos on Apple Podcasts I like to think of it as a kind of Darwin finch. And so there under the trees, you have these ponds with dozens of tortoise domes just rising out of the water. He's adorable. They showed me where the traps are trapped hanging from a tree here and you see them actually all over santa cruz. I can see the sea cargo ships going by and we have drones flying that are taking thousands of pictures of every angle of that bridge that no human could actually quickly process without artificial intelligence. So I took the plane from Kyoto. There's no place, no matter how remote we get, you can go to the North Pole, it's been affected by human activity. So I'm just going to step in to play an episode that well, if I'm honest, it's just one that I felt like hearing and running again at this moment. That is the sound of a tortoise breathing. Even if they could for who knows maybe a million years. They've got, they sterilized 39 of them. So that had acted as a barrier basically with goats on one side tortoises on the other. I'm Robert Krulwich. We found this on 13 islands. They'll actually go into caves. And how far are we willing to go to return a place to what it was before we got there. But then one evening in March of 1972. They don't know the exact date. Favorite Podcasts They would need like millions of traps every few feet to do that. If they're going to release sterilized male flies into the wild, they have to be able to raise millions of these flies in the lab and they're trying like crazy showing me all of the larvae that hatch today and four baby flies that had just hatched and these little cups. We have at least five species that are known to be facing extinction and another six in serious decline. Hey, this is radio lab. A given episode Nearly 200 years later, the Galpagos are undergoing rapid changes that continue to pose and perhaps answer critical questions about the fragility and resilience of life on Earth. They got all the goats, not all the goats mean those judas, goats. But then at the same time the tourism economy has been taking off and so all of these fishermen, they find that it's easier for them to actually survive by using their boats to take tourists around island island. They take 39 tortoises raised in captivity and they use them as placeholders. So linda when she first went to Galapagos to study these tortoises about 30 years ago I did a trip where we backpacked around the caldera. That was definitely not what I thought you were gonna say. Yes. But that's the only possible the first day. She points right next to it. Two females that sort of looked like George but weren't quite the same species and we put them with George to see if we could get him to breed, he never did wasn't interested. And so what they decided to do is leave the judas, goats on various islands where they can live out their sterilized days chomping on grass, sharing war stories until such time as it might be needed again, is the, is the war between the greens and the and the fishermen and such, is that still hot and difficult And are they still no killing tortoises and they're not the fishermen. No. You mean eat the fly larva? Episode Credits:Reported and produced byTim Howard. The other three of money behind them and you see their flags all over santa cruz. They blockaded roads. I started studying Darwin's finches in particular. So Darwin's finches In short, Darwin! These bright yellow traps hanging from trees. Three tree finch species, the small, the medium and the large, and we went out and we set up our miss nets and we caught the birds and we measured them. Whereas the numbers were very small for the medium tree finch and smaller for the small tree finch, wow, I dare say that sounds kind of hopeful. It is about enabling the key actors, the bridge engineer to do their work more effectively more efficiently. And Arnaud told me that this year small tree finches so far we had only two nests with fledglings and all the others were dead. And the goats that were out there were gorgeous, You know, they had curled horns, different coloured fur, just beautiful animals and they've been there for 500 years, some people were concerned with goats have their own if you will right to be there. You know, on average 50% of your genome comes from your mom and 50% from your dad. So here's the story, Goats were originally brought to the Galapagos probably by pirates and whalers back in the 1500s. Radiolab - Galapagos | The Best Podcasts, As Chosen By You earbud.fm by NPR Radiolab Galapagos "I love the Galapagos episode. 24 June 2012. And James says in a way it was a paradox because on the one hand, awesome, we have an actual living pinta island tortoise. Well, there's there's a couple of clues that say maybe, Yeah, for example, when you look in the nests, they seem to have fewer parasites and they seem to have more babies that survive 15%. Test the outer edges of what you think you know, Radiolab is supported by listeners like you. I met him at this pizza place the election had happened the night before and did he win? They burned down a building. 179 years later, the Galapagos are But here's the problem. I mean we're probably talking just a few goats, but by the 1990s those few goats, the population had exploded to about 100,000 goats. It's relatively easy to remove 90% of a goat population from an island. There's thousands of islands around the world that have goats on them. Surely in four generations you could have 90% of the pinto genome restored. Week two weeks go by, you fire up the helicopter. I don't know I'm not sure many other people think about that. We only have a few days left to meet our financial goal. It was very confusing. My name is, he's an ornithologist from the University of Vienna. Okay, um it's sort of the first thing that really just like, where the hell am I I? And more importantly, can we? Or maybe it's 10,000 hammerhead sharks. So Gisella thought just by chance some of these tortoises are going to have a little bit more Penta D. N. A. Is this the way that everybody who works on the tortoises thinks about it this kind of deep time. Galapagos Super limited electricity. I would just I would have shot them first. Do you hear me? No, but it just seems so unrealistic, right? And that's also why when we think of evolution, we think of the Galapagos and in particular we think of two iconic creatures, the tortoise and the finch. And I remember asking one guy, they're driving so slow, I can just walk up to them. It's called Penta. Today, the strange story of a small group of islands that raise a big question: is it inevitable that even our most sacred natural landscapes will eventually get swallowed up by humans? Radiolab is supported by Simon and Schuster, publishers of The Codebreaker, the new book from Walter Isaacson, an exploration of Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and modern sciences efforts to cure disease, combat viruses and raise healthy children available wherever books are sold. And this brings us to our second school of thought, which in its most extreme version goes something like this. So Carl Campbell figured out a technique where we could sterilize them in the field. So it's a lot. But as far as I know, there are none for Radiolab. To what cause was the demise of the Pinta tortoises attributed? Radiolab - Wikipedia Support Radiolab by becoming a member of.

The each legs, two clutches were ultimately laid in his corral and the scientists are like George got our hopes up dramatically. Galapagos RadioLab - YouTube What's that? Description Description He was on santa cruz Island having dinner with some friends and we got into chatting about tortoises and one of the people he's eating with says, hey, I was recently on pinata Island collecting snails and I saw this tortoise and I thought, do you know what you have done? They sterilize them and put them on pinter. WNYC's Radiolab series tackles just five topics each season. It wouldn't notice that you were there. This next part, it's about how far we're willing to go to get something back that we've already lost to restore a place in a creature to its wild state. You actually end up meeting a lot of people employed that way in Galapagos and he tells me politically speaking, he's an outsider and of course I'm wondering why he's standing there by himself waving a flag at this entire parade of people who don't support him at all. Now the jury is still very much out on what will happen. There is music under the breaks. And wherever they went, they would lure those male goats out of their caves so that, you know, all in all over the course of this two year program, we had hundreds of judas goats out and using those goats, they were able to go from 94% goat free to 96 to 97 to 98. The tortoises had different shells depending on the kind of island they lived on. Radiolab ' s first nine seasons (February 2002April 2011) comprised five episodes each.

Well these are very purist sort of visions. So many kids want to make a change, but a high school girls volleyball team is redefining what it means to play together. But if the hybrids do have a fitness advantage and if they survive, we may be witnessing in hyperspeed the creation of an entirely new species. Listening to These Podcasts Can Make You Better Really? And those are really interesting ideas, but at some point they're gonna get hungry and they're going to start eating all the other things that you know, you treasure, like the occasional tourists in any case after endless planning and meetings took eight years, I think they commence project Isabella. Miller and Latif Nasser are co hosts. That sally dream is she's an environmental Law professor at the Berkeley School of Law in California? It would possibly be one of the first vertebrate examples of speciation in real time that we can observe. You can go, I don't know the depths of the Impenetrable jungle, It's been affected by human activity. The interview originally from a podcast called The Relentless Picnic, but presented by one of Lulus current podcast faves, The 11th is part of an episode of mini pep talks designed to help us all get through this cold, dark, second-pandemic-winter-in-a-row. You just put your hands around. And then fishermen started making a killing fishing sea cucumber because there was this huge demand. You know, they, they plow down vegetation disperse seeds, but for centuries they've been hunted by those whalers and in about 1906 The Penta Tortoise went extinct 1906, a little over 100 years ago. Yeah. Here at Radiolab we wanted to flip that flop, so we dredged up the most mortifying, most audio story. I'm robert Krulwich. So they poked around in the areas where we got the one and I found a shell of a female, how had this female toward has died? The show is nationally syndicated In the mid nineties we started in 94 Gisella and some folks from the Galapagos national park, they began taking a census of all the tortoises in the Galapagos. She took a trip to this island called Isabella, hiked up the side of a volcano and looked at all the tortoise country and it was an Impenetrable forest, basically tortoise heaven. It feeds on flowers and we think decomposing fruits, baby flies, they're not vegetarians, they will, you know, blood. So they began to frantically study it. WNYC Studios | Podcasts And you could argue we're gonna have to get a whole lot better at making some very, very difficult decisions. That's really the classical definition of a species. Galpagos - Transcripts They basically got their home back. And sometimes when they were done and the ship was filled with whale products, there's no room down here. But compared to the medium tree finch is they are because the medium tree finch is were on the brink of extinction. Seriously? WebRadiolab is a radio program broadcast on public radio stations in the United States, and a podcast available internationally, both produced by WNYC. Yeah, well I stood next to carl and watched him do it and carl took it one step further and he actually gave these females hormone implants, basically put them in the heat for an extended duration. Can I get you to introduce yourself? The new york public school system has been called the most racially segregated in the country. So now they had a dilemma. This is possibility powered by Shopify. But at the time the immediate question was, are there any more because if they could find a female for George, then they could, you know, maybe de extinct the species. And of course the shock was there was a wave went around the room when he said that I recall seeing a second wave of the spanish translation passed around the room.
