When it comes to the title of the strongest insect, we've got some real contenders flexing their exoskeletons. First up, we've got the Hercules Beetle, lifting stuff that makes your gym weights look like marshmallows. But hold onto your antennae, because the Dung Beetle is here to roll with the big dung balls – they can move objects 1,141 times their own weight. Don't count out the Rhino Beetle, either – it's got the brute strength to rival its horned namesake. But the true heavyweight champ? The Dung Beetle takes the crown, proving that even in the insect world, strength comes in all shapes and sizes.

These might be the only creatures on earth that willingly embrace the job of cleaning up poo.

Can farming and conservation coexist harmoniously? How can farmers produce high-quality food while protecting biodiversity? Elise Sutton, a passionate conservationist and livestock manager at Cherry Lodge Farm, shares her experience in balancing food production with nature conservation. Elise talks about conservation grazing using English Longhorn cattle on a 650-acre farm that includes a Site of Special Scientific Interest. She explains how this method maintains biodiversity and produces top-quality, grass-fed beef.We talk about the intricacies of managing a nature-friendly farm, focusing on the importance of soil health, dung beetles, and adaptive grazing techniques. Elise describes how the farm has transitioned from intensive practices to a more holistic approach, integrating livestock with conservation objectives. I also asked about the challenges faced by farmers attempting to adopt more sustainable methods.Further, our conversation extends to broader topics such as the future of farming, the potential of rewilding, and the importance of connecting habitats across landscapes. Elise offers insights into making nature-friendly farming economically viable through diversification and direct-to-consumer sales. She expresses optimism about the next generation of farmers embracing more environmentally conscious practices while acknowledging the hurdles that still need to be overcome in balancing food production with conservation efforts.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Facebook

In 2013, researchers discovered that the humble dung beetle was using the Milky Way as a navigational guide to roll its signature balls of dung. Now, engineers in Australia have been taking notes.

With their feathered antennae and shiny black armour, dung beetles move through pasture, recycling dung, building soils, cleansing parasites and providing prey for birds, bats, foxes and badgers. There are more than 40 species in Ireland. And their value as "eco systems engineers" is now being explored by farmers

In this episode of Naked Genetics: The risk factors between schizophrenia and substance use disorder have had a fresh genetic examination; I put Illumina to the test and ask, 'what difference does washing our hands really make?' And, the the extraordinary way in which dung beetles use the night sky to orientate themselves... Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

With the rain continuing and below average temperatures, the outlook isn't so sunny for UK salad growers.We look at some of the detail in the main parties' manifestos to see what they're promising on issues like the agriculture budget, food security and England's badger cull. Sometimes described as a farmer's best friend, dung beetles consume, bury and break up dung, improving soils as they go. Earlier this month vets and farmers met at a conference in Somerset devoted to the dung beetle. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

It's easy to advocate for saving pandas and elephants, but bugs are a harder sell. Look closer, though, and you'll find tiny superheroes propping up entire ecosystems as pollinators, decomposers, predators and prey. We'll wander the prairie with bison ranchers, in search of the dung beetles that work quiet miracles in huge piles of poop. And we'll meet people overcoming their insect fears to help scientists catch and release bees, before they disappear.

Have you ever been on a walk and observed a dung beetle or two rolling a bit of dung down the path? Have you wondered what conditions make a good steady rain? While many things are out of our control, we can control some things if we are willing to learn and work together as a community.Dr. Elizabeth Heilman, Professor of Education at Wichita State University, elaborates on the power of observation in ecology and farming with Mary Sketch Bryant, Jeff Ishee, and Eric Bendfeldt, specifically as the power of observation relates to weather patterns, peer-to-peer learning, and creating more stable farming systems. Dr. Heilman shares how a "community of practice" can be a safe place to share experiences and build relationships that can help farmers "balance out the weather cycle" and "reduce drought and flooding."   For a description of Dr. Heilman's teaching, research, and recent publications, please visit https://www.wichita.edu/profiles/academics/applied_studies/School_of_Education/Heilman-Elizabeth.php For the free soil health resource guides that Dr. Heilman referenced, please visit Green Cover Seeds at https://greencover.com/freeguides/  The tenth edition is currently accessible.

Bruce Thompson is an intensive dairy farmer from Laois. He has a particular interest in reducing animal remedies through prevention, and is a strong advocate for the urgent need to protect our dung beetle populations.

This week, Jeff and Jonathan are celebrating the longer spring days in Alaska. However, the warming sun has them thinking about the impacts of global warming.They kick off this week's episode by discussing recent scientific studies, which warn that global warming could threaten the survival of dung beetles.Next, they explore various natural indicators that signal when it's safe to plant outdoors (and indoors). In Alaska, the size of birch tree leaves serves as a reliable clue! Jeff also emphasizes that now is an ideal time to complete springtime tasks, such as cleaning up after your dog, shoveling snow around greenhouse entrances, and more.Finally, they answer a listener's question on composting.Find all this and more on Teaming With Microbes!**********************************************Have a question?

A catchment restoration project in the Marlborough Sounds is bringing a farming community together to tackle water quality issues and achieve wider conservation goals

Our guest this week is Claire Whittle, the Regenerative Vet. As you'll hear, Claire went into veterinary medicine intending to work with small animals - which is to say dogs, cats, and other household pets... but working on a dairy farm as part of the requirements for her degree led her to fall in love with cattle and when she qualified, she became a farm vet. In the conversation you're about to hear, she talks movingly and with deep authenticity about her journey from traditional large animal practitioner to the place now where she's a passionate advocate for the human capacity to engage with the natural world, for our ability to become a positive keystone species and for farming to become a lower stressed, lower input, far more wholistic experience than it generally is. And she's a completely compelling source of endlessly fascinating information, particularly about dung beetles. We've never had a podcast where we discussed dung in quite so much depth or detail - and it's all good. Whether you're farming acres of land or have a single trough on a balcony, and wherever you are in the world, learning to step into our birthright of deep rooted connection to the land - to the soil - is one step on our journey towards being what the world needs of us. This was such a fun, sparkling conversation, with so much to learn.

Could dung beetles be the solution for farmers managing freshwater on their property? Dr Shaun Forgie is driving a push for change. 

Todays guest, who has the best Instagram name there is Claire Whittle…or Dr_Dowhittle is a perfect inditement of what is wrong with the acceptance system of vet schools. Claire has managed to break the mould and proved that being that 7 A and advanced higher student at school isn't the only type of person to make a good vet. Claire's story starts in retail and now finds her self in her own words trying to get her self out of a job and I genuinely believe she means it! Claire mentions at one point ‘you know those moments that live to define your life and change the way you see the world'…and honestly this podcast was that for me. She's a Nuffield scholar, a vet, someone recovering from cancer (which we never even got to on camera) and this podcast is SOLELY about regeneration with a 90% focus on dung beetles! You will love this, I promise! Enjoy!
