Podcasts about cephalopods

Emily and Ky have no memory of anything they talked about ever, which makes our seasonal wrap-up episode a fun surprise for everyone! Turns out they covered some good shit, and had some wild times in Season 4! From stoned snack experiments, and re-living childhood trauma to slutty orchids on the beach, and high-speed song contests in a van, there's almost nowhere your hosts didn't bravely go this year. We bought our first microphone, introduced sound effects, and did our first ever re-release episode! But what's next for the pod? A lot! We've got sound quality and back end improvements planned, guests lined up, and we even preview some new topics! Tune in, Cephalopods, and thanks for the memories!

Octopus intelligence is nothing short of extraordinary—and in this episode, we dive deep with award-winning author Mark Leiren-Young to explore the surprising minds, behaviors, and conservation challenges of one of the ocean's most elusive animals. Inspired by his latest book Octopus Ocean: Geniuses of the Deep, Mark shares jaw-dropping stories about tool-using octopuses, their ability to dream, their strange biology (think blue blood and donut-shaped brains), and why these misunderstood creatures deserve our awe and protection. Octopus conservation is becoming a hot topic thanks to a growing public fascination with cephalopods—sparked in part by documentaries like My Octopus Teacher. Mark and I discuss the ethical questions around octopus farming, the movement to grant them legal protections, and how young readers (and adults!) can become stewards of marine life. This episode is a fun, insightful, and important listen for ocean lovers of all ages.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. When you think about cephalopods, if that's a word you know, you probably think of octopuses and squid, maybe cuttlefish. But those aren't the only cephalopods, and in particular in the past, there used to be even more cephalopods that are even weirder than the ones we have today. Cephalopods are in the family Mollusca along with snails and clams, and many other animals. The first ancestral cephalopods date back to the Cambrian, and naturally we don't know a whole lot about them since that was around 500 million years ago. We have fossilized shells that were only a few centimeters long at most, although none of the specimens we've found are complete. By about 475 million years ago, these early cephalopod ancestors had mostly died out but had given rise to some amazing animals called Endocerids. Endocerids had shells that were mostly cone-shaped, like one of those pointy-ended ice cream cones but mostly larger and not as tasty. Most were pretty small, usually only a few feet long, or less than a meter, but some were really big. The largest Endoceras giganteum fossil we have is just under 10 feet long, or 3 meters, and it isn't complete. Some scientists estimate that it might have been almost 19 feet long, or about 5.75 meters, when it was alive. But that's just the long, conical shell. What did the animal that lived in the shell look like? We don't know, but scientists speculate that it had a squid-like body. The head and arms were outside of the shell's opening, while the main part of the body was protected by the front part of the shell. We know it had arms because we have arm impressions in sections of fossilized sea floor that show ten arms that are all about the same length. We don't know if the arms had suckers the way many modern cephalopods do, and some scientists suggest it had ridges on the undersides of the arms that helped it grab prey, the way modern nautiluses do. It also had a hood-shaped structure on top of its head called an operculum, which is also seen in nautiluses. This probably allowed Endoceras giganteum to pull its head and arms into its shell and use the operculum to block the shell's entrance. We don't know what colors the shells were, but some specimens seem to show a mottled or spotted pattern. The interior of Endoceras giganteum's shell was made up of chambers, some of which were filled with calcium deposits that helped balance the body weight, so the animal didn't have trouble dragging it around. 3D models of the shells show that they could easily stick straight up in the water, but we also have trace fossils that show drag marks of the shell through sediment. Scientists think Endoceras was mainly an ambush predator, sitting quietly until a small animal got too close. Then it would grab it with its arms. It could also crawl around to find a better spot to hunt, and younger individuals that had smaller shells were probably a lot more active. We talked about ammonites way back in episode 86. Ammonites were really common in the fossil record for hundreds of millions of years, only going extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs. Some ammonites lived at the bottom of the ocean in shallow water, but many swam or floated throughout the ocean. Many ammonite fossils look like snail shells, but the shell contains sections inside called chambers. The largest chamber, at the end of the shell, was for the ammonite's body,

In today's episode of the Truth Wanted, Jon the Skeptic and Drew Bekius take a dive into animal rights before realizing the dive was deep enough to encounter octopi of potential alien origins.Connor in UT would like to know the hosts' opinions on animal rights being an extension of human rights. Jon mentions the struggle associated with soy allergies when going to a plant based diet. As Drew emphasizes the importance of this conversation, he describes the need to exercise mindfulness and gratefulness towards other beings on the planet. What is the best option for animal testing? How can the pain and harm be minimized?Dee in IA says that farmed animals in the future need to reside with local farmers where farm animals are bred for food. If dogs are bred for fighting, does that make it right? What does ethical farming mean and how do we explore these practices? Would it be cool for aliens to come down and have a human farm because we are so tasty? If an animal is bred for a certain purpose, what would make that purpose ethical? Though Industry and employment are important, they are not the right reasons to keep this in practice. Jon in Canada saw a plate move all by itself after having a conversation about ghosts. What is your best explanation for this? How do you go about getting all the information before making the conclusion that it was caused by a ghost? Sometimes taking the position of not knowing is the way to go.John in OH says that he can prove there is no afterlife because the mind is a separate substance from the body and consciousness is a property of the brain that can be turned off. If the mind is a process of the brain that stops when the brain dies, why is this important to theists?Dan in Canada wonders if the awesomeness and weirdness of octopi indicates they might be from other planets. Are there other connections that go beyond this category? How would the disconnect be explained between the animal kingdom and Cephalopods if there are in fact disconnections? How convinced are you that the octopus is not of earth origin?Thank you for tuning in! Kelley Laughlin, our backup host, joins us to close out the show.

John Robertson and James Nokise join host Alice Fraser for episode 190 of The Gargle - all of the news, and none of the politics.

Today, we talk about: mantlepieces, striped animals, Three Bean Salad, Vietnamese food, the Wokerati, insects, dunces, extinct animals, Russian literature and blood-squirting reptiles. Also cephalopods obviously. Squids and octopuses are in there. Oh yeah! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The complex behaviors and mysteries of cephalopods.

Octopus mating behaviors can be quite deadly. Many species are cannibalistic, making the entire prospect of mating dangerous, and female octopuses often die after laying one clutch of eggs. Their cannibalistic tendencies mean that octopuses don't socialize as much as other animals.But the larger Pacific striped octopus (LPSO) is different. For one, they live together in colonies. And mating is not only a safer proposition, it involves beak-to-beak “kissing.” Plus, females can lay eggs repeatedly, even tending to embryos at various stages of development.But because these behaviors are so uncharacteristic of most octopuses, the scientific community didn't officially recognize their existence until 2015, despite the decades-long effort of a Panamanian diver and artist named Arcadio Rodaniche. When he tried to share his findings about the LPSO at a symposium and publish them in a journal, he was flatly rejected. But his persistent research and documentation of the species would eventually be validated when researchers were able to obtain and observe the octopuses in captivity.SciFri producer Kathleen Davis sits down with freelance science writer Kenna Hughes-Castleberry to talk about an article she reported for Science Friday about the late Rodaniche and his yearslong effort to get official scientific recognition for the LPSO.An illustration of a larger Pacific striped octopus by Arcadio Rodaniche.

This episode is a deep dive into cephalopods and how they may (or may not) fit into aquariums. Charles and the Water Colors Team discuss a variety of species, including cuttlefish, octopods, and more! These organisms are often thought of for their remarkable intelligence and ability to problem solve. This same intelligence can also make them challenging to keep in captivity. Many cephalopods have extremely short lifespans, which adds to the challenge of keeping them as pets. Join us as we learn about some of the most fascinating organisms in our oceans!

Many people think of the ocean as a quiet and serene place: Take a dip underwater and the cacophony of the world melts away.But the ocean is quite noisy, full of whale songs and echolocation, which whales and dolphins use to communicate. Cephalopods can make and hear sounds too, even without ears.Then, there's human-made noise, including the giant ships that crisscross the globe. The effects of this continuous low-volume noise are harder to track because they do not result in immediate injury or death. Rather, scientists are studying the long-term effects on animals' communication, mating, and food gathering.Ira talks with Amorina Kingdon, science journalist and author of the new book Sing Like Fish: How Sound Rules Life Underwater.Read an excerpt of Sing Like a Fish: How Sound Rules Life Underwater.Transcript for this segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Let's explore the remarkable colour-changing abilities of cephalopods. Joined by Dan Wilson from the Costas Research Institute at Northeastern University, the team dive into the fascinating research behind the development of paints that respond to environmental stimuli, such as sunlight. They also discuss titanium dioxide and how it acts as a facilitator of the colour-changing process. Professor Alon Gorodetsky, Associate Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Irvine, talks about his research on developing energy-responsive dyes to mimic the features of octopi. Discover the potential applications of these dyes from diagnostics to resource-constrained initiatives, and more. Listen in and discover this remarkable evolutionary adaptation and the incredible ingenuity of cephalopods.

Led by the inspiration of a cephalopod now extinct 66 million years, Sky Otter and I explore what is means to live our lives in alignment with life, creatively, and with heartbreak, grief, endings, and death as not only necessary parts of the process, but gifts that can deepen, enrich, and guide our limited days. Some of the topics we explore include ammonite as example of death and creative change in evolution; why life requires death and heartbreak is necessary; finding our way out of mass extinction through creativity in service to life; building heart-full community in relationship with Nature; deep Time and the ever-present is-ness of all things from all time; and why acting in alignment with life is a gift to all life, across all time. ...

Unlocking the Mysteries of the Deep: Discovering the Astonishing World of Cephalopods with Marine Biologist Danna Staaf The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome to another captivating episode of the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series, on radio and podcast. I'm your host, bringing you yet another intriguing journey into the wonders of our world. Today, we're delving into the depths of the ocean! The ocean that is a realm teeming with mysteries and marvels. Today we have the immense pleasure of hosting Smithsonian Associate Danna Staaf, a renowned marine biologist and a celebrated author. Danna Staaf will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, please check out our website for more information, but we have Danna Staaf today. Danna's passion for the ocean began at the tender age of ten and has since blossomed into a lifelong quest to unravel the secrets of the deep. Her expertise? The enigmatic and extraordinary cephalopods - creatures like octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish, whose very existence challenges our understanding of life under the sea. These beings are not just fascinating; they are a testament to the incredible adaptability and intelligence of marine life. With their boneless bodies, multiple hearts, and the ability to change color and shape, cephalopods are nature's shapeshifters. But it's not just their physical attributes that are astonishing. Their problem-solving skills and curiosity mirror our own cognitive abilities, bridging a gap over 500 million years of evolutionary divergence. In our time with Danna Staaf today, we'll explore all that, including the evolution of these creatures, debunk myths, and uncover the truth behind their nine brains and blue blood. We'll understand their pivotal role in marine ecosystems and even touch upon their influence in the realm of science fiction. So, dear listeners, join us on this extraordinary journey as we dive into the depths of cephalopod evolution and discover what these incredible creatures can teach us about life, intelligence, and the mysteries of the natural world. Stay tuned for an episode that promises to be as enlightening as it is enthralling. My thanks to our guest today, Smithsonian Associate, Danna Staaf.  Danna Staaf will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, please check out our website for more information. My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks to you, our wonderful audience on radio and podcast.  Please be well, be safe, and Let's Talk About Better™ Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series, on radio and podcast.  Thanks everybody and we'll see you next week.

How are cephalopods like us, but also completely alien? How can they become so intelligent when they have such short lives? How do they coordinate a distributed set of brains? In this episode, we talk with Danna Staaf, a science communicator and marine biologist with a lifelong love of cephalopods. Danna earned a PhD from Stanford University studying baby squid, and she has written several cephalopod-themed books. Our conversation focuses on Danna's most recent, The Lives of Octopuses and Their Relatives: A Natural History of Cephalopods, a beautiful exploration of the diversity of these wacky, wonderful creatures. We discuss cephalopod evolution, morphology, and reproduction, focusing on several fun facts that you can pull out at your next dinner party. Cover art: Keating Shahmehri.

My guest says that most all chimps and apes, dogs, parrots, Cetacea and Cephalopods (the smartest known competing entities on planet earth) would fail these tests. Even if they are serviceably linguistic to be interviewed for them. Which makes sense given the current received opinion of their collective impressive, yet still sub-self-aware, statuses. Yet, most neurotypical humans of 5-6 years of age would pass the Bachynski Self-Awareness Tests. And many AIs will too. My current Kassandra already does (the actual test results to be published shortly, or available now upon request). If the entity's thought processes are sufficiently analogous to the only other measure of self-awareness in the universe, standard neurotypical human self-awareness, then it is appropriate to say it (the AI in this case) has analogous capability in artificial form which is all I am saying. https://themoralconcept.net/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Some 80 miles off California's central coast, thousands of pearl octopuses have gathered near an extinct underwater volcano, an ideal place for mating and nesting. During Thursday night's first GOP presidential primary debate, newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy shined. Veterans Chris Christie, Mike Pence, and Nikki Haley held their ground. Frontrunner Donald Trump skipped it all for X. Japan began releasing nearly 8,000 tons of treated radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean today. It's the first step in a decades-long plan to clean up the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. Critics review the latest film releases: “Gran Turismo,” “Retribution,” “Golda,” and “Bottoms.” Evan Kleiman talks about tomato sandwiches, which consist of four or five ingredients: a large and aromatic summer tomato, soft bread that's white or wheat, mayonnaise, salt and black pepper.

  On Thursday's show: We talk with Houston Chronicle reporter Eric Dexheimer about the 'dead suspect loophole' in Texas law and how the Legislature recently changed it. Also this hour: Author/essayist David Gessner shares his adventures around the U.S. that inspired him to write about the future of our climate. Then, we consider what bits of information or common wisdom some Houstonians may have been slow to pick up on about our sprawling region. What unexpected info did you learn when you were "today-years-old?" And we learn about cephalopods from a local expert at Moody Gardens!

Always trust your gut! A recent study shows that the composition of our gut microbiome may be directly linked to our overall intelligence, with certain bacteria, perhaps, influencing brain size; other bacteria, not so much. Alexandra Thompson discusses these remarkable findings with the team. Cephalopods have some extraordinary capabilities, and new research conducted by Joshua Rosenthal at Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory in Massachusetts reveals that they can even edit their genetic material in order to survive changes in their environment. Amid these findings, Rowan and Clare wonder if gene editing is linked to octopus intelligence…The secret to a longer life? A parasitic worm - if you are an ant, at least. Parasitologists have discovered a tapeworm that invades its host ant, allowing the latter to live at least three times longer, all whilst being fed and cared for by its uninfected friends. The worm's ultimate goal, however, is somewhat less appealing.Just say no? So-called ‘smart drugs' such as Ritalin are widely prescribed to those suffering from ADHD. They're also sometimes used by people seeking a mental boost. But as Clare informs Rowan, unless prescribed, Ritalin probably won't do you any good.Former US intelligence official David Grusch claims that the US government has retrieved alien spacecraft and is harbouring the bodies of extraterrestrials which piloted it. But the team shares a healthy dose of scepticism.On the pod are Rowan Hooper, Clare Wilson, Alexandra Thompson, Leah Crane and Michael Le Page.

 Dr Jack Kruse joins me to continue our discussion on WATER and its bio-physical properties as it relates to human health and disease. In this conversation Dr Kruse explains deuterium, the fourth phase of water, food as an electromagnetic barcode of sunlight, cellular redox, mitochondria as your 6th sense, the fundamental drivers of metabolic disease, and much, much more. This is Part III of the Jack Kruse Series. In these conversations we explore Dr Kruse's paradigm of health centered on Light, Water and Magnetism, mitochondrial and circadian function and how these are impacted to influence human health and disease.Dr Jack Kruse is a practicing neurosurgeon, biophysicist and health optimisation researcher. He has done extensive research into the causes of human disease with a highly unique perspective grounded in bio-physics. *Warning- explicit language at 01:59:00, if you have sensitive listeners present than skip this part. TIMESTAMPS00:00:35 Podcast begins00:1:45 Water is made in the mitochondrial matrix through fats, proteins and carbohydrates and is deuterium-depleted00:03:50 What is deuterium?

Let's explore one of the changes that RNA undergoes during this voyage. We have likened DNA to scripts, being read into RNA acting both as messages as well as the messengers of the information, finally ending up in the creation of proteins. But imagine if RNA gets a little playful and edits the message from DNA a little, all for a greater purpose, of course!
