Hello everyone and welcome to the show! Mike Pingleton here, and I am your host for these proceedings. And here we go with Episode One Hundred and Seven, and our guest for this episode is Dr. Skylar Hopkins, Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Ecology at North Carolina State University. Some sad news to talk about first. This show is dedicated to the memory of Hans Breuer, who passed away just a few weeks ago. You may remember my conversation with Hans for Episode 91, last December just a year ago. Hans and I traded quips and wordplay and herping stuff for close to twenty years, and many, many folks in the herping community have done the same, he was a lovely person to know. Hans is one of those friends that I've never managed to meet and of course now I deeply regret that. My heart goes out to his family, to his wife and his sons, and to all the many folks out there who also mourn his passing. We miss you old friend. And as always, I am grateful to all the show's patrons who help to keep the show moving forward. And if you're out there listening and you would like to kick in a few bucks, it's easy to do, you simply go to the So Much Pingle Patreon page. You can support the show for as little as three bucks a month – less than a fancy cup of coffee! You can also support the show via one-time contributions via PayPal or Venmo (please contact me via email to somuchpingle@gmail.com). This is another one of those times when a plan comes together in such a way that it almost seems pre-ordained. Skylar was going to be giving a presentation in early October at the University of Illinois here in my home town, and of course my first thought is how about coming on the show? And since Skylar was keen to visit Snake Road, what better recording venue than a campfire in the Shawnee National Forest? I've done a few of those as most of you know. And of course, we're trading studio sound quality for a crackling fire and some katydids but that's some good ambience right there. And the next day Skylar and I spent a little time walking on Snake Road, and that was a fun time to wrap up the whole experience. For those folks who want to salvage non-threatened DOR specimens in North Carolina to support the research efforts of Skylar and others , the point of contact is Jeff Beane at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. And thanks in advance! And for those folks interested in the book Emerging Zoonotic and Wildlife Pathogens, You can order our textbook here (paperback) or here (hardcover), or wherever you usually buy textbooks. The authors (Skylar, Dan Selkeld, and David Hayman) thank you in advance! Thanks for talking with me, Skylar! And thanks for listening everyone! And as always, please keep the comments and suggestions coming, and please take time to rate the show on your podcast platform! The show email is somuchpingle@gmail.com, and there's also a So Much Pingle group on Facebook, for discussion, comments, feedback, suggestions, herp confessions, tips for herping better, etc. -Mike
Dr. Colter Chitwood is back on to break down the unique population dynamics of the wild turkey. Join as we explore which vital rates are significant to turkey population trajectories, impacts of boom bust cycles on reproductive success, the interplay between reproductive parameters and hen survival, why high reproduction rates may not compensate for low hen survival, what this all means for wild turkey management.

In this Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR) Member Interview podcast Hanna Halmari speaks with Prof. Dr. Mortiz Wagner from the Department of Applied Ecology at Geisenheim University in Germany. They discuss the SWR's recently launched Sustainable Viticulture Protocol (SVP). The SVP is a shared framework for decision-making in relation to chemical use that aims to improve viticulture practices, with an emphasis on the reduction of chemical inputs and the adoption of regenerative techniques. The protocol was launched earlier this year, off the back of extensive research by an SWR inputs working group of which Moritz was part of. Moritz shares key learnings from the research, why the protocol is necessary, and what progress he hopes to see over the next year.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of sea turtles are accidentally caught in fishing nets—a phenomenon known as bycatch, which poses a grave threat to these already vulnerable species.“Even the death of one individual has implications for a population that's already threatened. But in the case of fisheries, it's also not good for the reputation of the fisheries” says Dr Joanna Alfaro, a Peruvian marine biologist with 25 years of experience in marine conservation.Dr Joanna is also the Director and co-founder of ProDelphinus, a non-profit organisation in Peru that works with fishing communities to protect sea turtles and marine fauna from bycatch.Winner of Whitley Award, Dr Joanna, in this sixth episode of sea turtle stories, underscores the importance of working with fishing communities towards ensuring sustainable fisheries. “Of course, we have a special place in our hearts for turtles, but we also care for the people that are related to this marine environment. The ocean is not ours, it's everybody's” she emphasises. So join our host Minnie and Dr Joanna, as they tackle the critical issue of sea turtle bycatch, its mitigation in small-scale fisheries in Peru and the vital role of community engagement in conservation efforts.Links for Additional Reading: Alfaro-Shigueto, J., Mangel, J.

In our ongoing exploration of who gardeners are, where gardeners are, what they are growing in this world, and why that matters to all of us, I am pleased to be joined this week by three members of the team at The Institute for Applied Ecology – literally ecology in action. Their mission is to conserve native species and their habitats through restoration, research, and education. They envision a world where all people and wildlands are healthy and interact positively, biological diversity flourishes, and environmental challenges are met with a social commitment to solving problems with scientific principles. And in many ways, this all comes back to an abundant and healthy seed supply. This brings us to the Institute's Native Seed Network and their coordination of their upcoming National Native Seed Conference, being held virtually Feb 7th and 8th. The conference connects research, industry, land management, and restoration professionals, providing the premier opportunity to develop relationships and share information about the collection, research and development, production, and use of native plant materials. Given that gardeners are land managers in their own right, this is the kind of information that informs good garden decision-making for all of us. And I am excited to serve as the keynote speaker for the event. Alexis Larsen, Program Director for the Institute's Plant Materials Program, Morgan Franke, the Program Coordinator for the Plant Materials Program, and Tom Kaye, the Institute's co-founder, Executive Director, and Senior Ecologist, join Cultivating Place this week to share so much more about the past, present, and future of this important work. Listen in! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years, and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud, iTunes, Google Podcast, and Stitcher. To read more and for many more photos please visit www.cultivatingplace.com.

An Applied Ecologist, and a Biogeochemist, Kris works to integrate his research into solutions for managing human dominated landscapes for multiple values. After designing the global study that provided the first robust estimate of number of trees on earth (3.04 trillion), Kris turned his focus to large-scale soil carbon mapping using a novel combination of existing technologies. Prior to joining the faculty at Skidmore College, Dr. Covey was the Lead Scientist at the Ucross High Plains Stewardship Initiative and a Lecturer in Forest Dynamics at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. There, he co-founded the Western Research Fellowship at the Ucross Highplains Stewardship Initiative and the Quick Carbon research program, served as a member of the School's Diversity and Inclusion Strategy Committee, and as a member of Yale University's Carbon Offset Task Force. As a contributor to the Global Carbon Project's Methane Working Group, Kris authored the vegetation section of the Global Methane Budget. He serves as a member of the Board of Trusties for The Adirondack Nature Conservancy and the New York State Wood Products Development Council. In 2020 Kris Co-Founded The Soil Inventory Project (TSIP.org) along with Bruno Basso. Together with private, industry, academic, and foundation partners they are building a distributed national-scale soil inventory system to inform soil management and markets. Through a novel combination of app-based automated sampling design, and distributed soil sampling tools allowing anyone to collect near surface soil samples, TSIP is building regional scale models capable of linking individual producer practices to measurable outcomes.Music CreditsIntro: Givin Me Eyes by Grace MesaOutro: Never Ending Soul Groove by Mattijs MullerSupport the showThanks for listening!

CONTENT WARNING. A note from Clare: "While in this Episode, we talk about creativity and hope, baking and Strictly Ballroom, and address a wide range of things from the politics of climate action to biodiversity, we also discuss the details of going on a hunger strike. Personally, I would say that bit is not suitable for children, although I suspect Gregory would disagree. I'd also like to let you know there's mention of eating disorders in this interview. It's a compelling listen - there's much to think about and learn from here, and I admire Gregory's stand and his ethics. But do exercise your own judgement with little or vulnerable/ anxious ears around.Thank you,Clare xxx"How far would you go for climate action? Changing your lifestyle? Sounds doable (to an extent!). Divesting from businesses that support the fossil fuel industry, perhaps? Would you consider getting into politics? Or more controversial actions, like risking arrest at a banned street protest, or harbour blockade, for example? Our guest this week embarked on a much more unusual - and indeed dangerous - strategy to spur the government into stronger action on climate issues.Gregory Andrews is a former diplomat, and was Australia's first ever Threatened Species Commissioner. He worked as a public servant for more than 30 years, including for 15 years in the Departments of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Environment, Climate Change, and Indigenous Affairs. Today he's an adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Canberra's Institute for Applied Ecology.In November 2023, in the run up to COP28, he stationed himself outside Australia's federal parliament, and staged a hunger strike for climate action. His demands included that the government stop permitting the logging of native forests, and end subsidies to fossil fuels companies. He lasted 16 days before ending up in hospital. This is his story.Check the shownotes on wardrobecrisis.com for links & further reading. Can you help us spread the word about Series 9? Wardrobe Crisis is an independent production.

Gregory Andrews and Bec Horridge replay, yarns with Leila and Poli-Pearl Green, Freedom of Species excerpt and Roukaya on their project 'Harakat'. 3CR would like to acknowledge the Kulin Nations – true owners, caretakers and custodians of the land from which we broadcast. 3CR pays respect to Elders, past and present of the Kulin Nation. We recognise their unceded sovereignty.// News headlines// Last week, Former Threatened Species Commissioner, Adjunct Associate Professor with the University of Canberra's Institute for Applied Ecology, and Dharawal man Gregory Andrews joined Earth Matters' Bec Horridge to speak about the hunger strike for climate that he began outside Parliament House on the 2nd of November. Gregory decided to strike to protest the inaction of the Albanese Government on the climate crisis. You can sign Gregory's Climate Action Petition here.// Next up, you're going to hear a chat between Thursday Breakfast host Leila and Poli-Pearl Green. Poli-Pearl's mob is linked to the Barron/Issacs mob from Noongar boodja (whadjuk/wadandi). They are a jazz musician and a beat maker DJ, who is passionate about care for land, First Nations justice and their furry life-companion Yusuf Katmaal. Poli collaborates with Naomi Robinson under the name Special Feelings to create dreamy, experimental jazz fusion sounds. You can pre order their new album or pick up a limited edition vinyl via their bandcamp: wearerhythmsection.bandcamp.com/album/special-feelings. You can hear the presentation by Tristen Harwood, an Indigenous writer, cultural critic and independent researcher, addressing settler-colonial foundations of conservation and environmentalism here.// In this next excerpt of Freedom of Species, hosts Caroline and Trevor spoke about total liberation and why it's very important to stand against colonalism and genocide whenever and wherever it appears. They discuss the connections between forms of oppression such as racism and speciesism. This is an excerpt of a longer discussion, listen to the entire conversation via 3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies.// For our final segment today, we heard from Roukaya, an organiser of the project Harakat. Harakat حركات, founded by friends Roukaya and Zainab, hosts free monthly screenings of Arabic-language Cinema on Bunurong and Wurundjeri Country. This initiative, created by and for the community, showcases Arabic-language storytelling through film, with a desire to include other languages from the SWANA region. Harakat حركات responds to the lack of nuanced perspectives from SWANA communities in the Australian media and arts landscape and offers essential representations of Arabic-speaking cultures, while challenging common assumptions about our cultures. Recently in response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the silence of many artistic and cultural institutions in the country, Harakat حركات is dedicating its programming solely to Palestinian stories and resistance, amplifying Palestinian voices and narratives. Please donate to the Dalia Association via Center for Arab American Philanthropy here.// Songs// Animal Instinct - Special Feelings//

Edge effect refers to the changes in species composition, habitat structure, and ecosystem processes that occur at the boundary between two different habitats. The concept of edge effect has been widely studied in ecology, as it can have both positive and negative impacts on wildlife, biodiversity, and ecosystem function. Understanding the effects of edge can inform conservation and management strategies for fragmented landscapes.

Scientists continue to debate over the best use of ecological resilience theory. Some scientists think the theory is most useful as a framework or way of thinking about how the concepts we have discussed on this show work within social-ecological systems. Other scientists propose that ecological resilience should be described as a measurable property that can be quantified, compared, and used to make predictions about a system's resilience in the future. In this episode, we talk about the second proposition. We describe the challenges to quantifying ecological resilience and discuss a case study that highlights the potential benefits of using ecological resilience as a property.

The lecture that he's been giving for a number of years is not so subtly called “Kill our Lawn.” Ecological horticulturist Dan Wilder knows that starting over and creating an entire native habitat instead of a lawn isn't for everyone. But Dan just wants to grab our attention and get us to start to make some changes at least in the way we care for the turfgrass we do want in our landscapes. And maybe give up a little square footage of it to some other kind of more diverse planting, too. Alternative, more eco-focused styles of lawn care, along with some lawn alternatives is our topic today. Dan Jaffe Wilder is Director of Applied Ecology at Norcross Wildlife Foundation in Wales, Massachusetts, and its 8,000-acre sanctuary. He's also co-author with Mark Richardson of the book “Native Plants for New England Gardens
The interconnectivity between humans and nature is inherent, yet often overlooked.

Řada živočišných druhů z mořského pobřeží musí lovit potravu v noci. Badatelé z univerzity v britském Plymouthu zjistili, že kvůli moderním typům umělého osvětlení lidských sídel plž z pobřeží Atlantiku zvaný plážovka ztrácí schopnost používat mimikry. Nepřítel ho tak snadněji zahlédne a uloví. Píše o tom časopis Journal of Applied Ecology.

Over the course of human existence, we have accumulated extraordinary knowledge of the natural world. The problem is that rather than utilize that knowledge to further understand and improve our relationship with the natural world, we've taken what we know thus far and used it to try to bend nature to our will.In his new book “A Natural History of the Future: What the Laws of Biology Tell Us about the Destiny of the Human Species”, Dr. Rob Dunn argues that such endeavors will ultimately be fruitless. We are at nature's mercy, not the other way around. Environmental efforts to mitigate climate change are not because we want to save Earth, but to save our species.Today, I'm speaking with Dr. Rob Dunn, a Professor of Applied Ecology at North Carolina State University. Rob heads the Public Science Lab at NC State, where he and his colleagues study the ecology, evolution, and biodiversity of humans and food. He is the author of 7 books and countless scientific publications on issues relating to the world around us. Rob's research looks at the seemingly ordinary yet underexplored – things like alcoholic fruit flies, microbes in the home, parasites and nanobacteria, threats to our food supply, the evolution of flavor, and much more!In this episode, we discuss: The Emerging Field of HologenomicsHow Anthropocentrism Affects Our Perception of NatureThe Truth About Our Understanding of Life on EarthThe Impact of Climate Change on HumansHow Global Warming is Changing the BiosphereThe Future of ConservationRob's Books:A Natural History of the World, Delicious, Never Home Alone, The Man Who Touched His Own Heart, The Wild Life of Our Bodies, Never Out of Season, Every Living ThingConnect with Ahmed:Website: https://ahmednayel.com/ Facebook: Ahmed NayelInstagram: @the.ahmed.nayelTwitter: @theahmednayelYouTubeReferences:Available on episode webpageReminder: Listening is great, but don't forget to apply what you learned in your life.Thank you for tuning in!

Email Leif: Mycoscapes@gmail.com In this creative exploration of applied ecology, fungi, and mycoremediation, Environmental scientist & educator (and good friend!) Leif Olson takes us on a journey of understanding fungi, how they function in the environment, mycoremediation and the importance of diversity and holism in approaching challenges of environmental degradation. He also gives us simple, actionable steps for how we can all bolster the health of the environment where we live! The first part of the episode builds out our knowledge and framework for understanding why the actionable steps at the end will work, and at 48:00 is where he gives us specific steps to bolster our local environments, so if you're just looking for that, skip there!

They're a crucial part of cycling organic material and helping plants acquire nutrients Fungi & Mycorrhizae as the multiple internets of the soil (not a single internet!). They're sometimes collaborating, sometimes competing - what they're working towards overall is nutrients to be acquired out of the soil, as well as soil to be built. The fungi we have inside us: Yeasts! Endophytes: fungi that live inside plants and assist them with various processes, examples and explanation of endophytes doing their thing Mycoremediation: facilitating a compled chain of reactions, and a diversity of fungi & bacteria help tackle challenging & complex contaminants. Doing this work in the “real world” is very site specific, and differs greatly from reality of laboratory testing The importance of holism/a holistic approach in bioremediation: not constraining out thinking a a single methodology or kingdom of life. These are complex systems with many variables, and the phyto-, myco-, and bacterial parts are all important for approaching environmental degradation. 48:00 Practical things everyone can do to boost their ecology where they live Covering the soil! Barren soil dries out a lot faster, and microorganisms can't perform their functions when dry. Naked soil gets oxidized, meaning the nutrients get burned up and released as gas (!). Then, when bare soil is rained on, the water compacts the soil and basically crushes the passageways/cavities microorganisms would live in and/or plant roots would grow in. Mulch to create a hospitable environment for soil microorganisms! 2. Dialing in the type of mulch: woody plant material or leaves that's aged naturally colonizes with the fungi that's around the environment or in it. Keeping tabs on the organic matter on your site is important! Seeing organic matter as future soil and treating it like the resource it is. 3. is remineralizing soil but I ran out of space to put the steps!
One way to look at the structures and processes of a social-ecological system is through “discontinuities,” which are gaps between clusters of system components. Discontinuity theory identifies patterns at different spatial and temporal scales in a system, which can be used to match system components to the resources and the scale(s) those components are operating at, with research and management implications. We take a look at discontinuity theory through a study of animal sizes in ecosystems, which is how many of the ideas about discontinuities first arose in the scientific literature. We also examine proposed management applications for discontinuity theory.

“And when I say ecosystem function, I mean, functions that are important for human survival. This is not just because I think ecology is cool and native plants are neat, but I think I want a world where my children and my grandchildren will survive.” - Tom Kaye We are talking about how wild plant populations are responding to climate change and what humans, both ecologists, and home gardeners, might do to encourage healthy and diverse ecosystems. Tom Kaye is the executive director at the Institute for Applied Ecology in Corvallis, Oregon where his team is working to conserve native species of plants and animals, and doing ecosystem restorations.
The term “resilience” is very popular nowadays, but people do not always mean the same thing when they use it. This is true not just in popular media but also in scientific literature! So what does resilience really mean? Where does it come from? In this first episode, we explore different definitions of resilience, especially ecological versus engineering resilience. We also explore the origins of ecological resilience and introduce concepts important for understanding what ecological resilience means.
