So anything you can do helps us thank you for listening and being part of this journey of telling all of these stories about our wild, crazy big small world. What do they look like? So Darwin's finches In short, Darwin! She showed me her lab. And then dropping to the ground, the last goat or two might sort of run into a area where it's impossible to reach. 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. WebNature and World Cultures, Sp2021 Prof Sandy Brown Listening Guide:Radiolab, Galapagos Please use the sections below to take notes on key moments, quotes, events, and Which should never actually happened because these are totally separate species. So they did it. She worked with him every other day or so for a few months and was never successful. And sometimes when they were done and the ship was filled with whale products, there's no room down here. Oh my God, there are these three massive tortoises just clustered together under a tree. You know, we assume that it was carbon dioxide carbon dioxide from the breathing. They learned that this sound means, so the goats start hiding so they're going to bushes, they won't move, They learn to stand under a tree holding their breath. It grabbed the goats dart, um, and then in a matter of minutes, snip snip did you do this? This one, which first aired in 2014, tells the strange story of a small group of islands that keeps us wondering: will our m. It feeds on flowers and we think decomposing fruits, baby flies, they're not vegetarians, they will, you know, blood. So nature has a boys now has the boys. The adult fly seems to be harmless. The show is known for its deep-dive journalism and innovative sound design. Howard Before We close. Lava flows are like 1000 sea iguanas taking a sun bath. Yeah. Really? What if everything has been changing all the time? Radiolab: Lucy. See do you just spell fulanis down? Doesn't matter point is an introduced species. And I'm like, what are you? So I met this woman named Hanky Yaeger who is like a plant scientist. And shortly after we walked up, he reached out into this tree and he grabbed this tiny little baby finch right off the branch. Our main story is the haunting tale of a chimp named Lucy. It's like having a program on you over and over and over again, it gets worse. We went live on the radio that was so fun. To take good question. 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. Just because so today a little step back in time to one of my favorite radio producers, tim Howard telling us the story of a truly singular spot on the face of our earth. And that is how they go from 90% go free to 91 to 92 to 93 to 94. Listen to this special series on the United States of anxiety wherever you get podcasts. They're like the size of jeez, I don't even know what their massive, they look like. 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 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? This is carl Campbell. Here we go. WNYC's Radiolab series tackles just five topics each season. Radio lab is supported by the john Templeton Foundation Funding research and catalyzing conversations that inspire people with awe and wonder learn about the latest discoveries in the science of well being, complexity, forgiveness and free will at Templeton dot org, As our co-Hosts Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser are out this week, we are re-sharing the perfect episode to start the summer season! So they went island by island, took a little bit of blood from all these different tortoises. This is James gibbs, professor of conservation biology at the State University of new york, it's one of those islands, it's not part of any tourist visitation site. And he says that as the meeting were on it got tense. And you do that every two weeks for a year. Teladoc makes it easy to see a doctor right from your phone with 24 7 access to board certified doctors and were authorized, Teladoc doctors can call in a prescription to fill at your local pharmacy.

Green and white leaves. So that was my first experience. Look at this species here, Small levi, green thing they call it Huntin in spanish, it is in its plan ta go, I think in the U. S. They call it, Was it the wrench of the white man? They were a little bit different depending on which island the finches lived on with the beaks. I was running as it turns out he speaks some english. What if on these islands, thousands of tourists arrive every day carrying fruits and chocolates and souvenirs jumping from island to island. Yes I do. They weren't sure they'd eventually name him George lonesome George. Here's the backstory. The boys. These bright yellow traps hanging from trees. Thanks to Matthew judas guilty without whom tim would have been crushed just by the sheer amount of tape that he gathered. We're still trying to figure that out. But then at a certain point I noticed this one guy by himself standing on the sidewalk wearing a white shirt and jeans, he's waving a flag, but his flag is a different color. It is about enabling the key actors, the bridge engineer to do their work more effectively more efficiently. Science programming is provided by the Gordon and Betty moore Foundation Science sandbox assignment Foundation initiative and the john Templeton Foundation Foundational support for Radio Lab was provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The uneasy marriage of biology and engineering raises big questions about the nature of life. Fantasy is that the flies use a pheromone to attract the opposite sex. Access powerful tools to help you find customers, drive sales and manage your day to day. Indeed. If the party in power now the front runners, if they get elected, then I see a dark and uncertain future, more big hotels, more of these enormous boats, more people. Let me start by telling you about the tortoise. Oh, I'm never a Doubter. You can join in on early access at our merch stores. We are dedicating a whole hour to the Galapagos archipelago, the place that inspired Darwins theory of evolution and natural selection. But the interesting thing was from year to year it got more difficult. I worked for island conservation and I'm based here in the Galapagos islands carl's actually the guy who showed me those tortoises, it was just a, it was a barren landscape, barren, barren grounds. This is Mathias espinosa and naturalist guide in the Galapagos and like linda. Well, I talked to one scientist sonia klein door for I'm professor in animal behavior at flinders University, south Australia. They'll actually go into caves. The warbler finch is the smallest of the Darwin's finches. Um they seem to have stopped, you know taking over National Park and killing tortoises. Test the outer edges of what you think you know. Yeah. So not only that, but according to linda, those goats, couple islands where they've been eliminated, fishermen have put them back. Addeddate. We are dedicating a whole hour to the Galapagos archipelago, the place that inspired Darwins theory of evolution and natural selection. What happened to the forest, goats, goats? Climate change seems to mean that a lot of species are Pretty much doomed, 30%, 40%, 50% of the species now on the planet in a few decades maybe disappearing. Description Description There's 100,000 of them, So many doubters, Carl says even heard the idea, why don't you put lions? Start tracking the judas goat until they spot it with some other goats. Now judas goat is a good judas goat until it gets pregnant because then it doesn't want to be social anymore. I guess. And the fishermen are like, who are you to tell me that I can't feed my family. Ariane wack pat, Walters and molly Webster With help from Bowen wong. And song samples made some recordings, brought all this stuff into the lab analyzed the genetic samples and had this terrible realization that the large tree finches now extinct, totally gone from the island. Okay, um it's sort of the first thing that really just like, where the hell am I I? It's like a soprano saxophone and alto and a 10 or something like that. Radiolab ' s first nine seasons (February 2002April 2011) comprised five episodes each. Subsequent seasons contained between nine and ten episodes. Season 15 began airing in January 2017. In 2018 the show's seasonal and episode format became obscured when online content moved from radiolab.org to wnycstudios.org. What's that? Outside of WNYC, I think This American Life does as well, and I know enthusiastic fans transcribed Serial. So they lash out, they marched down Charles Darwin avenue, they would come down the street throwing rocks and sticks and everything. It's kind of late, the sun is just starting to set. 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. Is this the way that everybody who works on the tortoises thinks about it this kind of deep time. Like the large ones. Here at Radiolab we wanted to flip that flop, so we dredged up the most mortifying, most audio story. He like points at the cars in front and behind as if like dude, seriously, you see how many of us there are. I wonder how many years these guys have been here for. But we will be different when we come back. 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. WebWe are dedicating a whole hour to the Galapagos archipelago, the place that inspired Darwins theory of evolution and natural selection. We've done so much on the show since last summer. By the ocean of breath twice, I remember I carried your oxygen. 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. I would just I would have shot them first. I don't know I'm not sure many other people think about that. That was a big problem for dire into power and then the islands come into sight. Hey, this is radio lab. But I go up to him and I yell at him, who's your candidate and he said, I am a candidate? Once the eggs hatch, the eggs hatch of the flies as well in the larvae wriggling little larvae will crawl out from the bottom of the nest up the finch's body into its beak and they go into the noses of the baby finches and just start eating. 2.2K views about 2 years ago 48:23 Love it or hate it, the freedom to He was their counter protesting and he says that at one point they went after National Park buildings and they were attacking the ranger stations with molotov cocktails.

They're not exactly and they put them on Pinta and they're just chomping away right now they're living out their lives really happily on pinta. Yeah, judas codes. So when you think about trying to inspect the bridge and every pillar, you're talking about extensive amount of work. But then the national Park comes in same group that's doing the goat eradication And they tell the fishermen they're overfishing the sea cucumber. Listen 18 min The Political Scene | The New Yorker Corpse Demon 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. Hello? He didn't seem to like humans and maybe that's why he survived. 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. Right? You have to find all those other goats circle real low, you fly around them, round them up, try and get them in a single group and then They start picking off the goats one x 1 x one and they're actually videos online where you see these packs of goats running for their lives. This is the villain. They're also seeing baby finches climbing up over each other just struggling to get away from the larva on the bottom of the nest and then they'll even start standing on the nest rim just to avoid being eaten. They kidnapped some people, including some of my crew and they even killed dozens of tortoises, slitting their throats. They burned down a building. As our co-Hosts Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser are out this week, we are re-sharing Could you whistle them for me? So they called around offered huge cash rewards. We celebrated our 20th anniversary. We are ascending and we have our dreams. Contact us, indicating the AAPB ID (cpb-aacip/80-80vq8sgb). 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. He says that when he first got to the Galapagos in the eighties, he couldn't believe that the place was real. iTunes Overcast App Radiolab Page RADIOLAB Baby Blue Blood Drive Did you know that horseshoe crabs have blue blood? And so you end up flying around in an expensive helicopter, not fighting any goes Now the way we deal with that is an interesting one. You can buy it at home depot but there it is in the Galapagos and along this path just looking to the right and the left and then she just starts counting the number of invasive species at 1234 as you can see here, it's only right next to the trail but not so much for them. She says if we keep doing that, taking the babies with the most painted DNA, breeding them together slowly. It's this totally wild, like I've never seen like this storybook, blue green, iridescent aquamarine and I'm thinking like, wow, this is gonna be like dropping into another world. It shows you the power. We don't think it was natural Gisella thinks it might have been the whalers. WebIt was that last word, gonadsand a researcher who referred to them as magical organsthat sent Radiolab producer and host Molly Webster on a quest to reignite our fascination with embryonic development, X and Y chromosomes, and reproduction. The whalers and pirates would often take goats that they brought with them and throw them onto the islands that way when they're on their way back and sick of eating tortoises, they could grab those goats. Can you imagine Schools of Hammerhead sharks like 500 800 passing in front of you like tuna. Let's go back to a better time. That's really the classical definition of a species. That's exactly how he sees it. What's that? I really do because it has the potential to be incredibly anti basis from W. N. Y. C. Studios and the bell. So I think there's been a change. They hear your footsteps, they raised their heads, they come out to see what's going on and then they get whacked. The each legs, two clutches were ultimately laid in his corral and the scientists are like George got our hopes up dramatically. They've got to limit their catch. Just walk past the newspaper that says 72 hours left in the electoral campaign. She says, you have islands with massive volcanoes and forests, tree ferns that grow, you know, well above a human sight. They can live for over 100 and 50 years. And that's where I thought oh something's changed in the system. Galpagos. That's Shopify dot com slash radio lab. Oh my God. 14K subscribers in the Radiolab community. They're not sure where it came from or quite how it got here. It was very confusing. 23 Weeks 6 Days Normally with people, nothing like. Yeah. The ideal judas goat, if you will is a goat that would search for and be searched for and that would never get pregnant. In the meantime the vegetation on Pinta is growing out of control from an ecological point of view pinter can't wait. The tortoise is a tortoise is a tortoise. I think yeah, whatever bugs might have snuck out of the plane. Are these finches disappearing very fast, Very slowly, depends on the species. One male tortoise, maybe 50 years old. But I mean in the bigger picture, you can make the argument that humans now affect every square meter of the earth. It's called Penta.
