Podcasts about Baleen

Baleen whales, like the humpback whale, are known for their songs. But their predators can also hear them.

With C & Jenn on holiday, your trusty T&B emergency host and lesser-known 'Georgia Wonder', Jared, is here to keep the word herd humming along. For a whale of a good time, join us for a look into all things animal-related in this week's Bees, a new slate of Civil Words, and a Sad Sack Sentence that may have you questioning your APIAN existence.Note: No, it's not your speakers, the audio quality is a bit wonky at times—apologies!

Scientists are learning more about how whales communicate, and the dangers all the other noises in the sea pose to their survival. We go inside the larynx of a baleen whale, and hear why scientists say it's time to rethink how we use the ocean in order to protect the gentle giants.

Baleinwalvissen - waar de grootste walvissen onder vallen die we kennen - blijken een uniek strottenhoofd te hebben ontwikkeld waarmee ze geluid produceren. Alleen kunnen ze daarmee één belangrijk probleem niet oplossen: zich verstaanbaar maken tussen onze luidruchtige scheepvaart. Onderzoeker Coen Elemans van de universiteit van Southern Denmark vertelt hoeveel geluk ze hadden bij dit onderzoek, hoe anders deze structuur bij de dieren werkt en waarom die er ook voor zorgt dat ze niet aan ons lawaai kunnen ontsnappen.  Lees hier meer over het onderzoek: Baleen whales evolved a unique larynx to communicate but cannot escape human noiseSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

MLOps podcast #194 with Omar Khattab, PhD Candidate at Stanford, DSPy: Compiling Declarative Language Model Calls into Self-Improving Pipelines. // Abstract The ML community is rapidly exploring techniques for prompting language models (LMs) and for stacking them into pipelines that solve complex tasks. Unfortunately, existing LM pipelines are typically implemented using hard-coded "prompt templates", i.e. lengthy strings discovered via trial and error. Toward a more systematic approach for developing and optimizing LM pipelines, we introduce DSPy, a programming model that abstracts LM pipelines as text transformation graphs, i.e. imperative computational graphs where LMs are invoked through declarative modules. DSPy modules are parameterized, meaning they can learn (by creating and collecting demonstrations) how to apply compositions of prompting, finetuning, augmentation, and reasoning techniques. We design a compiler that will optimize any DSPy pipeline to maximize a given metric. We conduct two case studies, showing that succinct DSPy programs can express and optimize sophisticated LM pipelines that reason about math word problems, tackle multi-hop retrieval, answer complex questions, and control agent loops. Within minutes of compiling, a few lines of DSPy allow GPT-3.5 and llama2-13b-chat to self-bootstrap pipelines that outperform standard few-shot prompting and pipelines with expert-created demonstrations. On top of that, DSPy programs compiled to open and relatively small LMs like 770M-parameter T5 and llama2-13b-chat are competitive with approaches that rely on expert-written prompt chains for proprietary GPT-3.5. DSPy is available as open source at https://github.com/stanfordnlp/dspy // Bio Omar Khattab is a PhD candidate at Stanford and an Apple PhD Scholar in AI/ML. He builds retrieval models as well as retrieval-based NLP systems, which can leverage large text collections to craft knowledgeable responses efficiently and transparently. Omar is the author of the ColBERT retrieval model, which has been central to the development of the field of neural retrieval, and author of several of its derivate NLP systems like ColBERT-QA and Baleen.

BPH Energy (ASX: BPH) managing director David Breeze joins Small Caps to discuss the recent news that a special committee has blocked a proposed ban on oil and gas exploration off the New South Wales coast. BPH has an interest in the large PEP-11 licence through its 35.8% investee company, Advent Energy. Advent, via its wholly-owned subsidiary Asset Energy, is currently in the process of furthering a PEP-11 joint venture applications to lift a suspension of its work program conditions and related extension of the licence. These applications have been filed with Australia's offshore watchdog, the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (NOPTA) and the blocking of the anti-drill bill now means Asset can continue to progress its discussions with NOPTA. The authority's most recent notice stating that the applications' status is now ‘Under Assessment', which paves the way for the authority to finally make its decision on Asset's applications. At the same time, Asset continues to investigate the availability of a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) to drill the proposed Seablue-1 well on the large Baleen prospect in PEP-11. Asset is also continuing discussions with drilling contractors and other operators who have recently contracted rigs for work in the Australian offshore beginning in the first half of 2024. PEP-11 is considered to have the potential to contain the largest gas resources off the NSW coast.

Nature doesn't always work in ways that seem to make sense -- at least at first glance. You might expect, for example, that as giant whales disappeared from the Southern Ocean during the 20th century, their prey -- tiny organisms known as krill -- would flourish. But that didn't happen. Instead, the krill began disappearing as well.Baleen whales use a comb-like structure known as baleen to filter krill and other small organisms from the water. And each whale can gulp tons of food every day. A recent study, in fact, found that the average whale consumes three times as much food as previously estimated.Based on that number, the study calculated that baleen whales consumed about 200 million tons of krill from the Southern Ocean in 1900 alone. But industrial-scale whaling killed most of the giants -- especially blue whales. So in 2000, the whales took only one million tons of krill.Despite the disappearance of the big predators, though, the number of krill in the Southern Ocean is only a fraction of what it once was. In fact, the total amount of krill in the ocean today is less than the giant predators ate every year before big-time whaling.One possible reason for the decline: a lack of whales. Researchers noted that big whales recycle a lot of nutrients into the ocean. The amount of recycled iron alone has dropped by 99.9 percent -- making the Southern Ocean a lot less productive for both krill and the giant whales they sustain.

Baleen whales were almost hunted to extinction. Now they face a new threat – global shipping. But despite humans blighting their lives, can they now recover and help revive ocean life? Justin Rowlatt speaks to two researchers who observe these intelligent, sociable giants up close. Matt Savoca at Stanford University explains the scale of the slaughter inflicted by whalers in the twentieth century, while Ryan Reisinger of Southampton University describes how modern ships continue to harm whales. By virtue of their sheer enormity, these animals also underpinned entire ocean ecosystems that have since collapsed, as veteran oceanic researcher Victor Smetacek explains. So with their numbers finally recovering, what can we humans do to help? Justin asks Guy Platten, secretary general of the International Chamber of Shipping.

by: Jules Verne (1828-1905) An early science fiction novel written by the second most translated author, French writer Jules Verne, the classic tale depicts an incredible sea expedition on board a state-of-the-art submarine. First published in 1870 and a part of the Voyages Extraordinaires series, the novel is regarded as one of the most thrilling adventure stories and one of Verne's greatest pieces of work. Immersed in themes of exploration, avant-garde technology, and man's insatiable desire for knowledge and scientific progression, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea has been an influence for many writers as well as an inspiration for numerous film adaptations. The novel kicks off when rumors spread about sightings of a mysterious sea monster, initially thought to be a giant narwhal. This instigates the United States government to organize an expedition in hopes of hunting down and destroying the ravaging creature. Consequently, French marine biologist Pierre Aronnax is invited to join the expedition, who takes with him his trusted servant Conseil, along with expert harpooner Ned Land, and accordingly the trio set about the search. Following a lengthy pursuit, the ship finally finds and attacks the monster but to no avail, as the impact hurls the three men into the water. In an attempt to grasp the hide of the monster, the men come to a startling discovery as they realize the supposed monster is in fact a submarine. The men are then captured and brought inside the futuristic vessel, which they later find out is named Nautilus, and meet its enigmatic commander and creator, Captain Nemo. So begins the journey on board the Nautilus, as its three coerced guests travel across all the world's seas visiting different underwater locations while witnessing the most bizarre, yet gripping marvels of the oceanic depths. Shipwrecks, giant squids, sharks, lost cities, coral reefs, whirlpools and an eccentric captain are just some of the obstacles separating the trio from their freedom. An exhilarating subaqueous adventure through unseen wonders, Verne's detailed and prophetic imagination propels the novel and secures its position as a literary classic and a pristine model for science fiction enthusiasts.

For both pods: the NWHL and CWHL just announced their All-Star Games in Nashville (NWHL) and Toronto (CWHL). What do you think? I kinda love the NWHL's model of taking the game to places the league isn't yet to help expand. The CWHL Game is also going to be on Sportsnet - so I might have to actually get the SN subscription thing. 39:00 - Ms Underestimated After Dark Episode 43:22 - Social media handles & sign-off

The gang gets together to discuss two papers that are sort of… kind of… very loosely held together by… size? First, they discuss a paper looking at size biases in our current biodiversity crisis and comparing it to our past extinction events. Is the present the same as the past? Second, they discuss a paper that looks at the evolution of whales and asks whether there were long term evolutionary trade-offs associated with growing massive in size. Meanwhile, James slowly freezes to death, Amanda becomes “Memento”, and Curt basically messes everything up. So, a typical podcast I suppose. HAPPY SESQUICENTENNIAL!!!   Up-Goer Five (Curt Edition): Our friends look at two papers that try to see how being a big animal can maybe make it better or worse. The first paper asks whether or not being big is a bad thing for animals that live in the big blue wet thing. To do this, they looked at how many big animals who lived in the big blue wet thing died in the past during really really bad times, and then saw if that number was the same of different to the number of animals who live in the big blue wet thing today. It turns out that all the past really really bad times had about the same number of big things dying. However, today there are so many big animals dying in our big blue wet thing. This is probably because people like to eat these animals, and so they eat all the big things for food. So maybe what is happening today is maybe not quite the same as the really really bad times in the past. The second paper looks at some really big animals with warm blood that breath through a spot near the tops of their heads, and live in the big blue wet thing. These really big animals didn't always start out so big. A long long long time ago, the older mothers and fathers of these really big animals were not always so big. This paper shows how the mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers of these animals changed over time. It turns out that these animals started getting really big very late in time, and that it might have been because of some changes in the big blue wet thing where they live. Also, when some of these animals got really really big, the rest of their sisters and brothers died out. The paper says that maybe these things that get really really big might also now be very slow at making new types of these animals.   References:  Payne, Jonathan L., et al.

Baleen whales are the gentle giants of the sea. Despite their colossal size, they feed on tiny creatures such as krill and zooplankton. That's because these whales, instead of teeth, have bristle-like structures in their mouth—baleen—which filters out small critters from big gulps of water. But the ancestors of baleen whales had a very different diet.  “So, the oldest whales that we know—these are the ancestors not just of the great whales like the blue whale and the humpback whale, but also of all of the dolphins in the sea today—they had fairly big teeth.”Felix Marx, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences.“And the most common idea is that they ate relatively large fish, and for some of the biggest ones… there are some studies that looked specifically of the wear of those teeth at the microscopic level, and they seem to suggest that they ate almost anything that they came across. The point is that they had big teeth that were really sharp, and that were even, relative to the size of their jaws, were relatively large, so they were really predators.”So where did baleen come from? Marx and his colleague Ewan Fordyce set out to answer this question. They analyzed the mouth of a 34-million-year-old fossil of one of the earliest baleen whales, called Llanocetus denticrenatus, found in Antarctica. And they concluded that Llanocetushad sharp teeth and large gums—but no baleen.Their findings argue against one of the ideas about how baleen evolved—that at some point whales had both teeth and baleen. “Llanocetus is the first and it's the only specimen, the only species, the only archaic whale, that makes a very clear case that, no, this coexistence of baleen and teeth, as it was just imagined basically…based on what modern whales looked like, didn't work. It didn't exist in that sense.” The finding is in the journal Current Biology. [R. Ewan Fordyce and Felix G. Marx, Gigantism Precedes Filter Feeding in Baleen Whale Evolution]So how did some whales go from chomping predators to filter feeders? “Baleen is effectively an outgrowth of the gums, and that probably only happened once the teeth had already been lost or maybe had been severely reduced. So we suggest this intermediate phase where you start with teeth and biting, then you start sucking your food, then because you suck in small things, you start to develop a filter and eventually you become a proper filter feeder.”—Annie Sneed[The above text is a transcript of this podcast.]

Whale ancestors probably never had teeth and baleen at the same time, and only developed baleen after trying toothlessness and sucking in prey.

A lesson in Alutiiq language and culture about baleen.

Baleen whales are some of the largest creatures on Earth, but they feed on some of the smallest – tiny ocean-dwelling crustaceans called krill and copepods. Smaller still are the microscopic organisms that help the whales to digest this vast quantity of prey. The diversity and function of the gut microbes living inside baleen whales has never been studied before. But new research has begun to shed light on these bacterial communities, and their role in shaping the natural history of their leviathan hosts. We spoke to Annabel Beichman (UCLA) and Jon Sanders (Harvard University) about the surprising discovery they made when they looked inside the whale.

The whole gang got together once again to talk to a mic in a shot glass, and the usual amount of humor, alienation, crushing insults, and less enthusiasm than usual for saying "with a W." I don't have a whole lot else to say about this episode, really. The topics change as quickly as the temperature drops this time of year (5 degrees F as I post this) so you'll want to be alert to catch' em all! In the background, you may hear Marcus and Courtney's new puppy, Banjo, who spent most of the show sniffing around my house and attempting (unsuccessfully) to play with Ozzie, my corgi. We also have a new voice--Kelsey, who didn't realize we were recording a show until we were halfway done with it! She was a treat, though, and we hope to have her back. Oh, there's also that awesome intro music (you're all watching the show, right?). Once you're done listening to the show and immediately deleting it from your listening device, why not rate us on iTunes? It helps new people find the show and we love reading reviews (wink wink).

Grade 6

by: Jules Verne (1828-1905) An early science fiction novel written by the second most translated author, French writer Jules Verne, the classic tale depicts an incredible sea expedition on board a state-of-the-art submarine. First published in 1870 and a part of the Voyages Extraordinaires series, the novel is regarded as one of the most thrilling adventure stories and one of Verne's greatest pieces of work. Immersed in themes of exploration, avant-garde technology, and man's insatiable desire for knowledge and scientific progression, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea has been an influence for many writers as well as an inspiration for numerous film adaptations. The novel kicks off when rumors spread about sightings of a mysterious sea monster, initially thought to be a giant narwhal. This instigates the United States government to organize an expedition in hopes of hunting down and destroying the ravaging creature. Consequently, French marine biologist Pierre Aronnax is invited to join the expedition, who takes with him his trusted servant Conseil, along with expert harpooner Ned Land, and accordingly the trio set about the search. Following a lengthy pursuit, the ship finally finds and attacks the monster but to no avail, as the impact hurls the three men into the water. In an attempt to grasp the hide of the monster, the men come to a startling discovery as they realize the supposed monster is in fact a submarine. The men are then captured and brought inside the futuristic vessel, which they later find out is named Nautilus, and meet its enigmatic commander and creator, Captain Nemo. So begins the journey on board the Nautilus, as its three coerced guests travel across all the world's seas visiting different underwater locations while witnessing the most bizarre, yet gripping marvels of the oceanic depths. Shipwrecks, giant squids, sharks, lost cities, coral reefs, whirlpools and an eccentric captain are just some of the obstacles separating the trio from their freedom. An exhilarating subaqueous adventure through unseen wonders, Verne's detailed and prophetic imagination propels the novel and secures its position as a literary classic and a pristine model for science fiction enthusiasts.
