The Pentagon announced Friday that the military is sending an aircraft carrier to South America. It's the latest in the escalating show of force against Venezuela, including strikes on ten boats that the Trump administration says were involved in drug smuggling, which killed 43 people. We talk about the legality of the actions and what the administration hopes to achieve. Then, we turn to the mighty California condor. Once nearly extinct — with only 23 birds remaining in 1982 — the largest bird in North America is making a remarkable comeback. Biologists have recently tracked 30 condors soaring over Alameda and Contra Costa counties, areas where they haven't been seen in a century. We'll explore what's driving their return and the threats they still face in the wild. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Calling all lovers of true tales about the sea! This week I'm talking with Eric J. Dolin, bestselling author of numerous books that explore some aspect of American history, generally as it relates to the sea. His latest book is "Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World." Eric has a really interesting through line that started with him studying to be a marine biologist, then morphed into studying environmental policy, and includes a big list of cool, interesting jobs, including curatorial assistant in the mollusk department at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology.We covered:- Eric's winding path to writing, which started with wanting to be Jacques Costeau as a kid, wended through getting three degrees in marine biology, and ended with him working in government jobs (managing a fishery, for example) while saving up to make the leap to writing full-time- How winning awards can keep you going, even when you're not selling as many books as you'd like- HOT TIP: Eric's new book, "Left for Dead," would make a great gift for anyone in your life who lives a good maritime yarn (like, say, my Dad)- How "people are overly impressed with writers", and that recognition can also keep you going- The skills he developed as a student that help him write books- How researching his current book generally leads to the idea for his next book- The secret cove in Marblehead, Mass. where Eric gets his reading done during the summer- How reading books from the 1800s and early 1900s (as part of his research) changes his languageFor full show notes with links to everything we discuss, plus bonus photos!, visit katehanley.substack.com.Thank you for listening!And thanks to this week's sponsor, Aqua Tru.

In this episode, host Zach Urness looks at the curious case of how a non-native fish, walleye, showed up at Lookout Point Reservoir and was then flushed into the Upper Willamette River Basin. Urness interviews two fish biologists about how walleye, a tasty but controversial fish, were discovered at the reservoir east of Eugene and spawned to become a fishery popular with anglers. In 2023 and 2024, the walleye were pushed downstream by deep reservoir drawdowns and have been getting caught in new places. Biologists are waiting to see if walleye will establish a new population — which could be bad for endangered salmon and steelhead.

(Piano music stops)   Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. So far we have talked about some extraordinary ant behaviors and we have so much more to explore, but I thought we should look at an individual ant before we move forward. The fifth thing I like about ants is their anatomy. Ants are classified as insects, so they have three body parts: head, thorax and abdomen. They have an exoskeleton made of chitin. Chitin is the second most abundant amino polysaccharide polymer found in nature. It is hard and protects the internal organs of insects and gives their body structure.  The head of an ant typically hosts two compound eyes, two antennae, two mandibles and a mouth on the outside while internally it houses the brain. Many species also have ocelli in the middle of the head, as well. The compound eyes contain hundreds of lenses that combine to form a single image. Species that use vision to hunt for prey will have larger compound eyes, while those that rely on other senses will have smaller compound eyes. All species of known ants have antennae, typically two. The antennae will be constantly moving as the ant tastes, touches, and smells everything it comes in contact with. The antennae will bend in the middle like a human elbow allowing maximum flexibility. Mandibles are super important to ants and they will vary by species. Some of them are extremely specialized and we will go through a few of those species in a moment. In general, mandibles are used to grasp anything ants need to pick up or carry. They are also used to bite, crush, cut, dig, fight, and hunt. Just behind the mandibles is the mouth which is used to eat, clean themselves, and groom nestmates. The last item on the head is the ocelli. Ocelli are simple eyes that detect light. Ant head shape will vary greatly between species and that is dependent on what they eat and how they build nests. The second segment is the mesosoma. Now, I just said ants have three segments and the second segment was the thorax, right? I did and this is technically correct, but the last two segments aren't clearly visible. The mesosoma actually contains the thorax and the front of the abdomen. The mesosoma segment is full of muscles and is where the legs attach to the ant's body. Ants have six legs. Their legs are made for movement and most ants can run fast when needed. Each leg has four segments and a hooked claw at the end of each leg helps the ant climb and hang onto surfaces. The third segment is the abdomen which is made up of the petiole and the gaster. This is the segment that contains all the important internal organs that keep the ant alive, besides the brain which is located in the head. The heart, the digestive tract, and the chemical weaponry is all found in the gaster. The chemical defense system will vary by species. Ants can have a stinger with which to inject venom into prey or predator or they may have a small opening through which they can spray acid to stun prey or defend themselves. In between the mesosoma and the gaster is the petiole. This structure attaches the mesosoma and the gaster together giving the ant enough flexibility to sting or spray acid in different directions. Some species of ants will have a second attachment segment called the post-petiole.  Ant can have separate classes of workers, major and minor workers. They perform different activities. Minors typically take care of the young, clean and build the nest, and gather food. Majors are often soldiers, guarding and defending the colony. Some species will have size differences between these castes and can have modified anatomy to fit their specific jobs. Queen anatomy is slightly different as they are the only ant in the colony making babies. The body will still have three segments, like an other ant as well as all other anatomical parts we have discussed thus far. They will have wings at birth so they can make the nuptial flight but they will lose them soon after reproduction and establishing her new colony.   The queen is typically larger than the other worker ants in the colony. Her gaster will be large because it contains all of her important life-giving organs and her reproductive system. Her mesosoma is also large because she needs more muscles to power flight. As I have stated before, all workers in a colony are female, so male ant anatomy is slightly different. They have wings like the queen so their mesosomas are large and muscular. They may be bigger than some workers but are often not as big as a queen. Their eyes are typically smaller and their antennae are straighter. Their reproductive organs will be large. They don't live very long and are made for only one thing, mating.   Now ant anatomy can be specialized for certain species and I thought we'd talk a little about some of these unique features. Certain canopy ants that spend most of their lives in trees have an internal sac to store liquid called a crop. They can transport tree sap to their sisters in this sac and regurgitate it to feed to them when needed. Kinda like birds. There is also an oral pocket that most ants have in which they store detritus that they clean off each other or strain off a meal before consuming it. Once a day, ant workers will spit out a pellet in the midden pile that is full of this detritus, like an owl pellet! Weaver ants have a sternal gland specific to their family that releases a short-range pheromone during war or hunting to call her sisters to her aide. One on the most diverse parts on an ant is the mandibles. Each species' will shapes will be dictated by what they eat. Some are so specialized that they are modified to eat only one type of prey.  One of the most abundant ants in the world, the dacetines, are small ants with long mandibles that snap together like spring traps. Why would such a small ant need such vicious, fast snapping mandibles? Because they eat springtails. Springtails are small invertebrates that jump fast and high, so these ants have developed mandibles that help them catch this specific prey. Thaumatomyrmex, or miracle ants, have mandibles that look like wicked pitchforks. Their mandibles consist of a flat base that ends in a row of long spikes. Yikes! Why do they need such scary looking mandibles? They eat polyxenid millipedes. These millipedes are covered with dense bristles that ward off most predators. The thaumatomyrmex mandibles allow them to impale the millipedes without worrying about the dense bristles. These ants also have an additional adaptation that allows them to eat these scary millipedes; pads on their forelegs that help them scrub the bristles off the millipede exposing the soft bodies.  There are so many more amazing anatomical adaptations in the ant world, but I only have so much time. Thank you for joining me for the fifth episode of ants because my fifth favorite thing about ants is their anatomy. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.  Join me next week for another exciting episode about ants.        (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

A report out today from CanAge finds the Maritimes provinces rate the best in the country for seniors who need access to vaccines.

Ducks don't sit still and neither should you, do you need to chase them to the ends of the Earth?, goodness no, but when the time in right, strike and do it with strategy, do it with precision, do it the FowlWeather Podcast way. Hunt the ducks, hot from the north. But also sit some days out because fighting every day makes no sense, fight when the fight is right. That, your migration forecast, comment on hunting success/or not, public lands biologist apathy for duck hunting, the northeast drought continues, the corn comment continues, all that and more, today on the FowlWeather Podcast.

Originally released July 23, 2024. New Kindred episodes will drop starting in October 2025.In this week's episode, we travel to Denmark and speak with author and long time marine biologist Hanne Strager about the incredible and dynamic predator the killer whale, or orca if you prefer.Hanne specializes in marine wildlife, specifically killer whales, and has recently published her new book titled, The Killer Whale Journals: Our Love and Fear of Orcas. We wanted to speak with Hanne because we are keenly interested in the relationship humans have with predators and why killer whales have long been persecuted, misunderstood, and even demonised by humans, like MANY predators whether that be on land or sea. We think they are dynamic, highly intelligent, gorgeous, and captivating animals and Hanne tells us why!What an absolute honor to speak with Hanne. We steeped in her knowledge and experience and mostly her poignant insights on not only killer whales but also her view of the relationship we have with animals like killer whales and other powerful and intelligent predators. Also, take a listen to this week's introduction to the episode and weigh in on whether my “joke” about killer whales is actually a joke, a riddle, or just a question! Jenn is most definitely unsure!

Dalton SizemoreBiology with Heart, Humor, and a DrawlI'm Dalton — a molecular biologist, science communicator, and caregiver. I hold a BS and MS in Cell and Molecular Biology from Appalachian State University, where I focused on cancer biology, virology, and immunology. My research explored how viruses like VSV might be used to disrupt the immune processes that help cancer metastasize. I also hold a graduate certificate in clinical psychology, which helps me bridge the gap between the science of the body and the realities of the human experience.But the truth is, everything I've done in science is rooted in something far more personal.I'm a survivor of childhood abuse. My father left when I was young, and my mother — who raised me on her own — endured two severely abusive relationships: one during my childhood, and another while I was in high school and starting college. Those years shaped me deeply. They taught me what it means to live in chaos and still push forward, to carry pain and still protect others, and to learn, even when nothing in your life feels safe.While I was earning my degrees, I was also a full-time caregiver. My mom nearly died from a MRSA infection that turned into a kidney crisis. My grandmother is disabled and was one of the first people in the U.S. to receive an implantable defibrillator. My sister has a seizure disorder that renders her disabled. At 22, I was managing emergency care, making medical decisions, studying biochemistry and organic chemistry, and trying not to fall apart.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Mary welcomes back Berean Call president Rob Yardley to talk about the importance of continuing to learn, pursue curiosity, and add to our knowledge of how the universe works, and how the God of the Bible, the creator of the universe, can cause us to be objective, rational, thinking creatures who can then boldly bring truth into our own sphere of influence. The Berean Call, begun by TA McMahon and Dave Hunt, has an impressive body of apologetics work built up over decades to come alongside believers who want to understand all the variances and downright lies embedded in so much of the Christian culture today. If you want to know the basics of apologetics, there is no better place to start than TBC. We also take a look at some pretty smart men who research Creation Science in the areas of DNA, the flood, and entropy. While some of it is far deeper than many of us might hope to go, we understand from their work that the God we serve is powerful, omniscient, and still has us each in the palm of His hand, worthy of our praise. A fun hour with Rob and the things that he studies and communicates via the gifts God has given him.

In this episode, I sit down with fisheries biologist Garrett Stamport from Prestine Pond Management, a graduate of Texas A&M University, to tackle one of the most controversial topics in the bass fishing community—aquatic vegetation spraying.Do bass really need grass to survive? Does killing vegetation affect their behavior, the bite, and overall fish health? And does spraying actually kill bass—or is the truth more complicated? Garrett brings the science, the experience, and the facts to clear the water on this heated debate.If you've ever wondered how lake management practices impact your fishing, this is the conversation you don't want to miss

What's a rooster do all day? If you know, you'll be a better hunter. So I asked Pheasants Forever's resident guru Sabin Adams to take us to school on the subject and boy did I learn a lot. From feeding to roosting to loafing, he clocks the bird's movements so you can be in the right place at the right times.  Sabin talks food sources, the importance of physical relationships between food, cover, and water (!). What to do in snowy conditions, rain, what birds eat and where are all part of our wide-ranging discussion.  "Fix It" covers strategic feeding of .... us. And listeners share the adrenaline rush - and more, of a pheasant flush.

SEGMENT: Koala Reproduction and Marsupial Birthing Process GUEST NAME: Professor Danielle Clode SUMMARY: Biologist Professor Danielle Clode describes koala mating bellows and the distinct marsupial birthing process where the tiny, jelly bean-sized fetus crawls into the mother's pouch, an external womb. 1956

About three-quarters of all the antibiotics in use today were developed from a type of bacteria that lives in the soil. But nasty bacteria are becoming more resistant to those treatments. So scientists are scouring the world for sources of new antibiotics—including the ocean floor. And they recently found a couple of good candidates at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, off the coast of Norway. Biologists gathered many organisms during a research cruise in 2020. And they collected bacteria from four of those organisms, including a type of sponge and a scallop. The bacteria are similar to the soil-based varieties that have yielded all the antibiotics. But under the extreme pressure, cold, and darkness in the deep sea, they've developed many chemical compounds that aren't seen in their land-based cousins. The researchers isolated some of those compounds. And they tested them against a strain of E. coli bacteria—a form that causes severe diarrhea in young children, especially in the developing world. Two of the compounds did a good job of stopping the E. coli. And one of them did it without killing the dangerous bacteria. That's important because the E. coli isn't as likely to become resistant to the compounds that don't kill it. There's still a lot of work to be done to develop the helpful compound into a treatment for people. But the research demonstrates that we might find many new treatments for human diseases in the world's oceans. The post Deep Antibiotics appeared first on Marine Science Institute.

First: a warning from history Politics moving increasingly from the corridors of power into the streets, economic insecurity exacerbating tensions and the centre of politics failing to hold; these are just some of the echoes from Weimar Germany that the Spectator's editor Michael Gove sees when looking at present-day Britain.

Introducing a special Radio Concrete episode by Snezhana Reizen. Antenna. The madness of the day.. “Antenna” is a series of works on transduction with the sole sound source taking place - radio waves. Here I was devoured by discontinuity and discharge inherent to the "miracle of the wireless. the omnipresence.. the overleaping of frontiers” - the radio, like it was marked by R. Arnheim. This piece emerged in two phases: the first one can be called a transduction - a process of conveying potential energy from discharge into a signal. It was a spontaneous live radio-noise set recorded close to the closed shelter. This summer I found myself stuck in between absence and presence in amplified senses, confronting the avalanche of the noises erupting on us by this world, facing the chaos, “embracing alienation”, holding a degree of disbelief.. that this "disparity can be modulated”.. Yet, seeking the perceptual transmutation. Biologists say there are two phases for the perception, so that after transduction of the signal, a transformation should take its place. Following this logic, the second phase of this work appeared as an improvised procession with effects and filters - a real-time mix-ture, with slight subsequent recombinations. If there's something one can call a ground for this piece, besides its sound source, it dwells upon a chance. It is a conversation with a present moment beyond the borders by a flying carpet of propagating radio waves. "Antenna" was created drawing on ambisonic spatialisation with a mixed approach, so that some sounds move through in a chaotic manner, while the trajectories of others were meticulously calibrated. In doing so, I did not seek to determine the exact location or direction for each sound particle, but rather to underline the traces - their nomadic movements within the whole sphere of the revealed ensemble.

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Maryland fisheries biologist Ryan Gary to dive deep into one of the most debated topics in bass fishing: forward-facing sonar. Ryan compiled and analyzed data from the entire 2025 Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour season, comparing tournament outcomes, trends, and outliers between anglers who relied on sonar and those who didn't. We break down what the numbers reveal, discuss how technology is shaping the sport, and uncover insights every angler can learn from.If you've ever wondered just how much FFS is impacting bass fishing—or whether the controversy is backed by real data—this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Pierce Young has been around deer his whole life. Early on in his career he was instrumental in the success of the deer tagging program that was conducted in NE MS across 27,000 acres of private land. He has worked along side many of the best deer researchers in the world, including Drs Steve Demarais and Bronson Strickland. Now Pierce is a biologist and assistant coordinator of the MDWFP Private Lands program. They work as consultants for private landowners across the state of Mississippi. On this episode we discuss the theory of management bucks. You'll hear a few things that might surprise you, but depending on what your goals are and a few other factors, you might need to be shooting a few young bucks each year.

Dr. Grant Woods, one of the nation's leading deer biologists, explains the secret language of scrapes and rubs — and reveals what most hunters get wrong about deer scent, communication, and rut behavior. In this episode, we cover: • How bucks actually use scrapes and rubs to communicate • The truth about deer scent and why you can't fool a buck's nose • Pre-rut, rut, and post-rut hunting strategies that really work • Stand placement, access, and how to avoid alerting deer • What hunters should know about small property management Whether you're a bowhunter chasing your first buck or a veteran trying to pattern mature whitetails, this deep dive into deer biology will change how you hunt.

As any long time listener knows, I've been looking for a Marine Biologist to talk to. Well, the sea was angry that day, my friends, because I found my white whale. Alan Moore is a marine biologist and the President and Director of two accredited Marine Biology programs in Western Florida. They specialize is sharks and rays. So, of course we talked about sharks and rays. We also talk about - queue heroic music - octopusses!. Also, whales, porpoises, dolphins, seals, and lots of other animals great and small. So, don't be an old man trying to return soup at a deli. Pull out that Teistelist. It's to time to enjoy a deep dive.Epilogue: This guest revealed to me some days after the recording that he was not a Marine BIologist. He assured me he had the other requisite certifications and did run the school. He asked me not to air the show as he felt he didn't do well. I listened back and thought he was fine. But I agreed not to air the show contingent upon us re-recording limited primarily to sharks, rays and the school AND he'd send over some actual marine biologists. Neither contingency happened. I thought nothing of it until I saw him seeking guest spots on podcasts again. Judge for yourself. 

Abbey and Liam are joined by evolutionary biologist Dr. Rob Brooks to explore the rise of AI companions, sex robots, and whether love with machines can ever be “real.” They discuss jealousy over chatbots, the naturalist fallacy, and the deep question of whether humans are naturally monogamous or non-monogamous.Drawing from Rob's book Artificial Intimacy, the conversation dives into the future of intimacy, the regulation of AI, and what it means for relationships when machines can replicate (and even challenge) human connection.Rob Brooks LinksWebsite | SubstackWatch this episode on YoutubeEvolving Love Links:Website | Instagram | Substack | RetreatLive Podcast Tickets LinkFriday 10th October, NFSA, Canberra This is a public episode.

Far from the old picture of life as a mindless, mechanical process, new research is showing that even the simplest organisms—like bacteria—exhibit signs of purpose, agency, and decision-making. Biologist and author Sy Garte returns to Language of God to talk about how this might be a pointer to God. Following from his new book, Beyond Evolution: How New Discoveries in the Science of Life Point to God, Sy invites us into a fascinating and accessible look at how recent developments in biology are shifting our understanding of evolution. Without overstating or oversimplifying, he explores how the science of life opens space for wonder, meaning, and even theological reflection. Theme song and credits music by Breakmaster Cylinder.
