silly. But then my power supply didn't work and my nook died. Exactly. Someone chopped it in half. 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. 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. They were having a meeting about this that's conservationist, josh Donlan. You just put your hands around. But we will be different when we come back. WebTranscripts and recorded audio may be available for many of the programs you hear on WNYC. And the question is, what's our responsibility? Green and white leaves. No, we're talking about island by island over the course of about seven years. Scientists first began to see this in 1997 when they started to find nests full of dead baby finches. I wonder how many years these guys have been here for. Even if they could for who knows maybe a million years. You know, they basically feed on the blood of the baby birds. These females would go for more than 100 and 80 days. Wow, that is freaking amazing, describe them. Ornithologists have started to notice some new behaviors. The medium tree finch has patrol that boundary. And he tells me, well, I'm nervous. 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.

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. Is there any time scale we should worry about. They get back over the island with this little device. For instance, add up as picking the lafayette of the nostrils of the baby birds and what we're starting to see is that they're beginning to consume them. This is Mathias espinosa and naturalist guide in the Galapagos and like linda. 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. It's keeping score. 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. Outside of WNYC, I think This American Life does as well, and I know enthusiastic fans transcribed Serial. Penta is was a very special place. There was no shade, tortoises were sitting out in the sun or crowded around a couple of stalks that were still there.

And I'm like, what are you? Test the outer edges of what you think you know, Radiolab is supported by listeners like you. But eventually nature is going to take over and they will evolve into into tortoises. We then went to a wolf volcano island next door and collected two females. Yeah, I carried your oxygen and you walked beside me through the lobby commenting on the decor. It is about enabling the key actors, the bridge engineer to do their work more effectively more efficiently. 25400 U.S. Highway 19 North, Suite 158. So that was my first experience. The new york public school system has been called the most racially segregated in the country. Test the outer edges of what you think you know. I thought you were gonna say people, it was kind of a collaboration. Yeah. Well, now my last night there, I went to meet up with that guy Leonidas who was running for mayor. Here's the backstory. Oh my God. So his name is, he is a naturalist guide. We ask deep questions and use investigative journalism to get the answers. He like points at the cars in front and behind as if like dude, seriously, you see how many of us there are. 179 years later, the Galapagos are undergoing rapid changes that continue to pose -- and possibly answer -- critical questions about the fragility and resilience of life on Earth. They would need like millions of traps every few feet to do that. We had just finished the honeymoon that morning. But I mean in the bigger picture, you can make the argument that humans now affect every square meter of the earth. And he says he would go on these dives. They literally drove the rangers out of the National Park headquarters and took it over on Isabella. It feeds on flowers and we think decomposing fruits, baby flies, they're not vegetarians, they will, you know, blood. The adult fly is actually vegetarian. That's exactly how he sees it. the new york public school system has been called the most racially segregated in the country. See do you just spell fulanis down? 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. Again, a whole bunch of herpetologists were out there and some island conservationists and they're talking about what to do pente and they can't get lonesome George to reproduce which they were hoping to do because then they could build a pin to population and put it on Penta. 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. But according to Linda sometime in the late 1970s, the goats got brave. Oh yes. So carl kept mulling this problem, what would it take to basically make you know, the perfect judas goat. 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? He's adorable. I'm just I'm robert Krulwich, this is radio lab in this hour. WebThe audio for this video comes from NPRs RadioLab - I do not own the rights to this. But I go up to him and I yell at him, who's your candidate and he said, I am a candidate? They're not sure where it came from or quite how it got here. 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. That's very similar to what I was picturing, But we land, we take the 40 minute bus drive, which turns out to be kind of a big town, tons of people live there like a fishing village, tons, no, it's way bigger than a fishing village and just let me say that my first hours in Galapagos were totally different than I was expecting. C studios. I'm a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University said that at this meeting there was one guy who just couldn't take it all I remember is him just fuming. Normally a female goat would be in heat for maybe a couple of days. Contact us, indicating the AAPB ID (cpb-aacip/80-80vq8sgb).

They kidnapped some people, including some of my crew and they even killed dozens of tortoises, slitting their throats. This is radio lab. And how far are we willing to go to return a place to what it was before we got there. You had the small tree finches and the medium tree finch is. They tagged, we collected genetic samples, got some D. N.

It rolls over this forest and it catches in the branches of the trees. No, but it just seems so unrealistic, right? We talk about going from weeks to hours, two minutes, two seconds at its core artificial intelligence for me has always been about decision support. 1. Right? Our newsletter comes out every Wednesday. Set up a little expat community and started breeding with the locals. What if in fact life is purely changed. These five species, does that mean that they may go extinct in the next five years in the next 50 years? Yeah. They eliminate over 250,000 goats. 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. WebThe 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. And this is the place of course where Darwin landed in 1835. Hosted by Latif Nasser and It would possibly be one of the first vertebrate examples of speciation in real time that we can observe. 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. 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. He never really liked other tortoises much. Thanks to Trish Dolman and screen siren pictures, Alex gala font Mathias espinosa. She says there's actually very little known about the fly. Surely in four generations you could have 90% of the pinto genome restored. And so in 1994 we had what we called the tortoise summit in England and that was where we started the discussions about what are we going to do, experts came from all over the world linda says we want to get rid of the goats and many of them thought we were nuts and that it was impossible. 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. She thought, God why can't I tell these finches apart? It's introduced found in europe north africa shouldn't be here. Here we are, we're going to look at these incredible creators called los malos and as we're walking along the path, she's like, oh wait, look at this, She points just to the right of the path. I started studying Darwin's finches in particular. WebRadiolab Galapagos Podcast RESURRECTION (18:01) 10. Why? For the medium is a check for the large Chee Chee wow. So they thought maybe he needs a pinto lady. They would crush you to death. The drip pools were just dry dust, bowls. But then along come the flies and all of a sudden like over maybe 20 years, these medium tree finch is they start to break their own biggest rule and they start to make outside of their own kind. Now the Galapagos government spends millions of dollars checking all of the goods that come in and out trying to quarantine the ones that might have things that are a problem. 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. 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. How far are we willing to go to stop that from happening? Yeah. They're like the size of jeez, I don't even know what their massive, they look like. 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. She says if we keep doing that, taking the babies with the most painted DNA, breeding them together slowly. We said goodbye to Jad abu Murad. This is just to grab a few flies, take them back to the lab and study them so they can learn how to fight them charlotte and paid ads. But whatever the scene is that just doesn't have any people but is carrying that idea, those pictures in your head even like useful anymore. I'm talking tie dyed caps and hot pink sweatbands. My version was, is my dream of what it would be like as you land on and it's sort of like low grassy knoll and an enormous turtle comes by the one that you could sit on the top of it. We've done so much on the show since last summer. We only have a few days left to meet our financial goal. So they lash out, they marched down Charles Darwin avenue, they would come down the street throwing rocks and sticks and everything. Let's go back to a better time. He just kind of points. They were going to do this big population studies. But then I spoke with this woman. But it's an average. WebRadiolabGalapagos Rebroadcast 2017. You know, there's green mangroves, black lava flows and pink flamingos. Well the honeymoon's over Galapagos. They kept them around. The each legs, two clutches were ultimately laid in his corral and the scientists are like George got our hopes up dramatically. WebRadiolab is a radio program broadcast on public radio stations in the United States, and a podcast available internationally, both produced by WNYC. And James says in a way it was a paradox because on the one hand, awesome, we have an actual living pinta island tortoise. They showed me where the traps are trapped hanging from a tree here and you see them actually all over santa cruz. It wasn't their fault. Yeah. 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. And I remember asking one guy, they're driving so slow, I can just walk up to them. R. i. More often, I'm Kareem Yousef and at IBM we use artificial intelligence to solve real world. 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. That's our working hypothesis which brings us to her idea. Follow our show on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook @radiolab, and share your thoughts with us by emailing radiolab@wnyc.org. It's hot, it's bright. Really? Did a genetic analysis and found something they never expected a group of tortoises. But on the other hand, he might have actually been like the worst possible candidate for last of his kind. Let's just take some tortoises from a nearby island and put them back on Penta. The nostrils have have big holes, something had gotten inside this little finches, nostrils drilled these holes And it was now eating the flesh on the inside of the bird's nostrils. So we we go outside. This is the place where Darwin began to develop his theory of evolution and it's the place 100 70 year or maybe 280 years later where our producer tim howard landed wearing fishnets and a bad brains t shirt too fine to find a very different landscape than what Darwin saw. I felt violent. I hope you enjoyed the producer tim. You should actually get better with experience. One male tortoise, maybe 50 years old. Okay, so quick context, Galapagos Islands, cluster of islands way off the coast of Ecuador in the Pacific 19 bigger islands, bunch of smaller ones. These are such alien looking creatures. Sometimes you have a year this is justa flop. I didn't say it was silly. Episode Credits:Reported and produced byTim Howard. I'm Robert Krulwich. Could you whistle them for me? All lower case for a free 14 day. Our budget year ends with the school year. And what happens is that as soon as birds start laying eggs, mother flies swoop in and lay their eggs on the base of the nest underneath the finch eggs. The wrench of the white man. It is the end of our budget year. The adult fly seems to be harmless. On the other hand, you had all of these goats that didn't choose to be on the island. Which 15 years ago, they would never do back in the year 2000, Sonia and some colleagues tried feeding the finches, some fly larva and if ever there were a look of disgust on a finch face, that was it. In the meantime the vegetation on Pinta is growing out of control from an ecological point of view pinter can't wait. 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. Darwin's five weeks on Galapagos pushed him to develop his theory of evolution. It was a magical, magical area. Well these are very purist sort of visions. Our main story is the haunting tale of a chimp named Lucy. Howard Before We close. They don't know the exact date. And you could argue we're gonna have to get a whole lot better at making some very, very difficult decisions. And shortly after we walked up, he reached out into this tree and he grabbed this tiny little baby finch right off the branch.

Support Radiolab by becoming a member of. It does. There is music under the breaks. You've got. Um, so it's like you have you have a couple of shrew like creatures walking around. It's this on ending struggle. This one, which first aired 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! But here's the problem. There is where evolution is very strong. Yes. I'm surrounded by shelves and on the shelves are these tiny little plastic cups that are filled with flies. 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%. You know because like we talked about in the 17 18 hundreds, these whalers would come along grab a bunch of tortoises, put them on the ship and then they would hunt for whales. And they're like, I don't know who the guy was, but it turns out he was the incumbent. Coincidentally, these are the topics that Radiolab also loves. So they're all kind of converting over into the tourism economy. And this guy, he doesn't even say anything. Yes. He and some national park rangers race out to pin to and there it was this beautiful tortoise. And this brings us to our second school of thought, which in its most extreme version goes something like this. And based on that genetic data the small tree finch is not doing great. I like to think of it as a kind of Darwin finch. 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. They've got to limit their catch. It's it's a very simple song. 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's like so cynical. Hey, radio lab listeners, Here's a message from our partner, IBM. Can you imagine Schools of Hammerhead sharks like 500 800 passing in front of you like tuna. That's. And this became one of the, one of the most important pieces of evidence that, you know, when animals would move from one place to another, they would begin to differentiate based on very, very important. The tortoises had different shells depending on the kind of island they lived on. And you have this one here. Or maybe it's 10,000 hammerhead sharks. I wanted to borrow someone's gun. 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. What was that? He's also a well known musician in Galapagos turns out thanks to the Galapagos national park Charles Darwin Foundation Island conservation and the Galapagos Conservancy. Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:48:02 +0000. When Lucy was only two days old she was adopted by a psychologist and his wife who wondered: if given the right environment, how human could Humans. See? 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. You see that they're only there for this border of about 5 to 10 inches along the edge of that path because he said what happens is that tourists, they'll be back in their home country, they'll be walking around in the garden or a park and it'll be filled with tiny seeds, the seeds stick to shoes and socks and trousers. 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. 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.
