Podcasts about cane toads

South American cane toads were brought to Australia in 1935 to help eradicate native beetles that were destroying sugar cane crops. The toads didn't care much for the beetles, but they did spread across the coast of Queensland and beyond, with no natural predators to stop them. Their own deadly toxin devastated local reptiles along the way, and they now number over 200 million.Invasive biologists have long tried to curb Australia's cane toad population. The newest approach uses CRISPR gene-editing technology to create cannibalistic “Peter Pan” cane toad tadpoles: tadpoles that don't fully mature and instead feast on the tens of thousands of eggs that the toads produce.How was this approach developed, and how do these researchers think about making a potentially massive change to the ecosystem? Biologist Rick Shine, who has led the effort, joins Host Flora Lichtman to discuss it. Later, science journalist Elizabeth Kolbert talks about her experience reporting on similar monumental efforts to control nature—and what they say about us.Guests: Elizabeth Kolbert is a staff writer at The New Yorker and author of Under a White Sky: The Nature of the Future (Crown, 2021). She's based in Williamstown, Massachusetts.Dr. Rick Shine is a professor of biology at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.Transcript is available on sciencefriday.com.

A world-first sterile sheep blowfly facility opens for business on Kangaroo Island, a cane toad spotted in central Adelaide, and people asked to stay out of private paddocks as canola blooms.

Team Lead Zoo Teacher, Jamie Ling, and Ambassador Animal Keeper, Nathan Jordan, join us from the Central Florida Zoo and introduce us to "Gordito," a Cane Toad, also known as the giant neotropical toad or marine toad, another invasive species in Florida. Jamie shares how pet owners need to be on the lookout for these animals since the cane toad has poison glands, and the tadpoles are highly toxic to most animals if ingested. Its toxic skin can kill many animals, both wild and domesticated, and cane toads are particularly dangerous to dogs. You can learn more about the Cane Toad and other animals at www.centralfloridazoo.org or you can call (407) 323-4450.

Conservationists across Australia have been deploying some interesting strategies in the fight to save our native wildlife, and a new effort by Macquarie University in collaboration with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) in Western Australia and a group of First Nations rangers from Bunuba country continues that trend.Ben is joined by study lead author Dr. Georgia Ward-Fear from Macquarie University to discuss the impacts that cane toads have been having on the freshwater crocodile population in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and her team's efforts to reduce the amount of crocodiles killed by the toads. The study and experiment centres around conditioned taste aversion, and how it can be used to prevent animals from eating the poisonous cane toads.

After the win for the Maroons in the first State of Origin, it was only fitting we made the song this week about Buffy The Sarina Cane Toad who is dressed in her state's colours by Owen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Back in the 1930s, some folks in Australia's sugar industry imported the Cane Toad from South America to help control a destructive beetle population. It... did not go well. It continues to not go well. It will likely keep not going well.

The juggle is real for Kathleen, who during this episode had a work computer, a podcast computer, a work phone and a solo toddler all at once. She's solo parenting while Steve surprised us by going fishing (it's the run off don't you know). It's been a week for Molly, who can't even string a sentence together but somehow manages a thrilling conversation about toilet training. Enter this week's guest - Mary Chalmers, the 51st most powerful person in the Northern Territory. An absolute boss in the court room, she's one of the Territory's most high profile barristers, but you wouldn't even know she dropped out of high school to start training as a hairdresser. After a very close call with a cut throat razor and a client's ear, it was very clear it wasn't the career path for her. Having found her way into law, she's now a mum of two teenagers, calling on her own experiences as a headstrong teen and knowing when to pick your battles.

Beloved Australian comedian Aaron Gocs has appeared in the Netflix film The Merger, hosted videos for Vice and appeared in numerous Australian TV shows. But his roots are punk and ska. He discovered the music from Mighty Mighty Bosstones' hit single, "The Impression That I Get," but soon learned about local ska bands. His first-ever show was Melbourne-based punk (and sometimes ska) band The Living End and local Brisbane ska group Wiseacre. But soon, after diving into the music, he discovered Less Than Jake, who became his all-time favorite band. And he would follow them all over Australia when they'd visit, even if that meant he would get any sleep. Today we speak with Aaron Gocs about ska, Australia, and where these two worlds meet. We talk about Warped Tour's first venture to Australia in 1998, Aaron's favorite local ska program (Ska Trek, every Thursday at 8p!), why he's retired his skanking boots (And semi-retired from stage-diving), and his deep love for The Mountain Goats.We also discuss several Australian ska bands like The Resignators, The Porkers, Area-7, Allniters, and Strange Tenants. He explains what a "stitch-up" is to us. Plus we discuss some unique Australian food and animals.

A rather unloved Australian bird has taken on the most hated animal on the fifth continent: the cane toad. With a lot of finesse, the ibis has managed to put the poisonous amphibian on its menu - without putting itself in danger. Isn't that phenomenal? Trudi Latour talked about this with our regular correspondent and poisonous animal expert Barbara Barkhausen. - Ein eher ungeliebter australischer Vogel hat es mit dem meistgehassten Tier des fünften Kontinents aufgenommen: der Aga-Kröte. Dem Ibis ist es mit viel Raffinesse gelungen, die giftigen Amphibien auf den Speiseplan zu setzen – ohne sich selbst dabei in Gefahr zu bringen. Ist das nicht phänomenal? Darüber sprach Trudi Latour mit unserer regelmässigen Korrespondentin Gifttierexpertin Barbara Barkhausen.
