Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Gabriel Blouin-Demers, a professor at the University of Ottawa's Department of Biology, to explore the fascinating world of the Black Ratsnake (Pantherophis obsoletus), one of the most commonly encountered snake species in eastern North America. Drawing from Gabriel's extensive research at the northern edge of the species' range in Ontario, they begin by discussing the unique landscape where these snakes thrive. The conversation then delves into the Black Ratsnake's natural history before focusing on Gabriel's research, which highlights the critical role edge habitats play in various aspects of the species' ecology.Connect with Gabriel at the University of Ottawa.

New Zealand's tuatara are the last remaining species of an order of reptile that was alive alongside the dinosaurs 240 million years ago. The rest died out about 65 million years ago, but in Aotearoa the tuatara live on, found on 32 offshore islands and in a small number of ecosanctuaries and zoos on the mainland. Now one researcher is investigating the microbial community that lives inside their gut. Are there also bacterial ‘living fossils' to be found? And has their gut microbiome changed as a result of living in captivity on the mainland? Guests:Cam Hoffbeck, PhD candidate, Taylor lab, University of AucklandChye-Mei Huang, Ectotherm ranger, Auckland ZooLearn more:Hear from another researcher who has been exploring the viruses found in tuatara.Cam has also spoken to Emile Donovan on Nights about her research.In 2014 Alison Ballance visited Orokonui Ecosanctuary to learn about the tuatara who had recently made the move to the cold climes of Dunedin.Our own microbiome may affect our brain, moods and behaviour, and changes across our lives.Sign up to the Our Changing World monthly newsletter for episode backstories, science analysis and more.Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Happy St. Patrick's Day! And in honor of this day of drinking, we will learn about the animal that the dick Saint Patrick chased out of Ireland: SNAKES! Snakes are truly amazing and yes, I have talked about a few snake species as well as their tongue but there's plenty of snake facts for everyone. In this episode we learn about why the world is such a dick to snakes. And -spoiler alert- it has to do with certain cultures (looking at you Christianity and Norse mythology). But don't worry there are plenty of other cultures who get it. They get why snakes are important and they too, like me, LOVE snakes!Also, for you horney devils out there who want to learn all about the sex and love life of snakes...well then, this is the episode for you. And let me just warn you...its very, very, very weird. So don't be too creeped out or astonished when you learn the truth.Scientific NamesKing Cobra: Ophiophagus hannahEastern Garter Snake: Thammophis sirtalisEastern Diamond-backed rattle snake: Crotalus adamanteusFollow the Podcast on Social Media!Instagram @wafpodcasttiktok @wafpodcastEmail: wafpodcastexplicit@gmail.comFacebook: "Weird Animal Facts: Explicit" Support the show (https://www.ko-fi.com/wafpodcast)

Whether you are thrilled or terrified by them, people of all ages seem drawn to ectotherms like rattlesnakes. The Rattlesnake Conservancy works to change the public narrative about the value of these animals by educating communities, professionals, and first responders on how to safely handle and live alongside them. The conservancy also conducts and supports conservation research into various environmental and human caused threats to rattlesnake species survival.

Courtesy is one of techno’s newest breakthrough stars. The Greenland born, Danish raised DJ, Ectotherm label boss and journalist first turned heads with some key online mixes in 2016 which showed she will reach for whatever works be that rave, electro or breaks. Since then she’s further established herself with her own regular NTS show and sets at key places like De School and Berghain, and in three weeks time she will play our festival in Sao Paolo. To get in you on the mood for that she’s first turned out a new mix which, as usual from Courtesy, is characterised by fascinating contrasts. It’s high in energy from the off, and races through a number of styles of house and techno that ranges from twisted to dubbed out to ghetto. Getting ever-quicker as it goes, there’s a subtle sense that you’re building towards something throughout the set. It makes it an absorbing, high octane ride that never settles in once place but at the same time feels like one complete story.

Spaced out hypnotic techno from one of LA's best. Interview with @coopersaver: melbournedeepcast.net/portfolio/cooper-saver/ "I don't want to spoil anything but I will say I was happy to include the latest from Skee Mask on Ilian Tape. Also the new one from Aussie heroes Sleep D & Albrecht La'Brooy is fantastic. Ibon's record on Ectotherm pitched down -10% or so. Avalon Emerson's dreamy remix of Slowdive."

In this unit, we study one aspect of the fluctuating nature of an organism's environment. We consider how organisms living in a temperate climate, such as that in Britain, are adapted to cope with winter. You will see that there is much diversity of adaptations among organisms, with different species coping with the demands of a fluctuating environment in quite different ways. As cyclic variations are a widespread feature of environments, the range of adaptations to them is an important source of biological diversity.

The extreme challenges of life in the polar regions require the animals who make their habitat there to make many adaptations. This unit explores the polar climate and how animals like reindeer, polar bears, penguins, sea life and even humans manage to survive there. It looks at the adaptations to physiological proceses, the environmental effects on diet, activity and fecundity, and contrasts the strategies of aquatic and land-based animals in surviving in this extreme habitat. This unit builds on and develops ideas from two other 'Animals at the extreme' units: The desert environment (S324_1) and Hibernation and torpor (S324_2).
