A new generation of scholars is reshaping China-Africa research. More geographically diverse and digitally fluent than the field's early pioneers of the 2000s, this cohort brings fresh perspectives and tools to the study of China's engagement on the continent. Yet deep structural barriers persist. African and Chinese researchers still face sizable obstacles in shaping research agendas, as U.S. and European institutions continue to dominate decisions about what gets studied, who receives funding, and which voices are amplified. Solange Guo Chatelard, a research associate at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the new executive director of the Chinese in Africa/Africans in China research network, joins Eric & Cobus to discuss the current state of China-Africa scholarship and where it's going.

My guests on the show today are Anthony Perala and James Hannack, research analysts at Punch & Associates. Anthony and James recently returned from a multi-city due diligence trip across Western Canada, and in this episode, they walk us through what they learned — not just about specific companies, but about the power of seeing businesses up close. We talk about why in-person research still matters, especially in microcaps where management access, company culture, and operational visibility aren't always obvious on paper or a Zoom screen. They share how walking factory floors, reading body language, and noticing office details can shape conviction and surface red flags in ways spreadsheets simply can't. Anthony and James also explain why Calgary and Vancouver are becoming regular stops on their research itinerary, how they prepare for and structure field visits, and how they filter insights once they're back at the desk. We also cover common pitfalls, lessons learned, and what separates candid management teams from those just giving the “IR version” of the story. If you've ever questioned whether boots-on-the-ground research still adds value in today's data-rich environment — this episode makes a compelling case that it does.

How does animal behavior shape conservation outcomes? In this thought-provoking episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, host Anish Banerjee speaks with Dr. Deyatima Ghosh, a postdoctoral researcher at ATREE, to explore the vital links between animal personality, cognition, and biodiversity conservation. With a particular focus on reptiles and amphibians in India's agricultural landscapes, the conversation dives deep into how understanding animal behavior can inform ecological sustainability and conservation strategies.Dr. Ghosh introduces the concept of animal personality—consistent and predictable behavioral differences within individuals—and explains how traits such as boldness, aggression, and exploratory behavior can shape species survival. These behavioral syndromes play a crucial role in shaping how animals adapt to environmental pressures and conservation interventions. She also discusses the cognitive processes that underlie behavior, including how animals perceive changes in their environment, process that information, and act upon it.A key focus of the discussion is Dr. Ghosh's groundbreaking research into the cognitive abilities of reptiles. Her studies show that reptiles can learn to identify and return to high-reward crop patches with greater pest infestations. This behavior significantly enhances biological pest regulation, making reptiles valuable allies in sustainable agriculture and reducing the need for harmful pesticides. Her findings challenge traditional views of reptiles as unintelligent and highlight their potential as ecosystem service providers.The episode explores how generalist species consume a broad range of crop pests and are highly tolerant to environmental disturbance. Dr. Ghosh's work demonstrates how predation modes—whether an animal actively forages or waits in ambush—can affect pest control efficiency. Active foragers, such as skinks and certain frogs, consume more pests and cover larger territories, while ambush predators like garden lizards and paddy frogs rely on prey mobility. Understanding these predation strategies can help tailor pest control efforts based on the life stages of agricultural pests.Dr. Ghosh also discusses the effects of agricultural intensification on amphibian and reptile populations. Fieldwork in Balasore, Odisha revealed that high-intensity farming reduced amphibian abundance by half compared to low-intensity areas. More importantly, her research uncovered that when amphibian densities fall below a certain threshold, these animals may stop providing ecosystem services and instead begin preying on beneficial insect predators, resulting in ecosystem disservices.This episode highlights the importance of maintaining healthy amphibian and reptile populations for effective pest management. Conservation strategies must ensure that these animals are supported through landscape-level planning, such as planting hedgerows, maintaining vegetation corridors, and conserving natural habitat patches. These features enable reptiles and amphibians to disperse, feed, and return to crop fields, enhancing their ecological role.The podcast also touches on the role of agricultural landscapes as reservoirs of biodiversity. Dr. Ghosh explains how land-use patterns at various spatial scales—from local (125–250 meters) to landscape levels (500–1,000 meters)—differentially affect amphibian and reptile abundance. For instance, pesticide input impacts amphibians at the local scale, while natural vegetation and habitat heterogeneity at larger scales significantly support species richness. These insights underscore the need for multi-scalar conservation approaches tailored to species-specific ecological needs.In a reflective closing, Dr. Ghosh shares her personal journey, including the challenges of conducting long-term fieldwork in rural Odisha and overcoming gender-based barriers. Her perseverance ultimately led to community transformation, as initially skeptical villagers became active participants in monitoring biodiversity. This human dimension adds depth to the scientific insights shared throughout the episode.Whether you're a conservation biologist, ecologist, policymaker, or simply passionate about wildlife, this episode offers valuable insights into how animal cognition and behavior can be integrated into conservation science and sustainable agricultural practices.Keywords: animal behavior and conservation, reptile cognition, amphibian ecology, biological pest regulation, herpetofauna in agriculture, biodiversity in agroecosystems, sustainable pest management, landscape-level conservation, animal personality research, ecosystem services of reptiles and amphibians, ecological intensification, behavioral ecology, biodiversity in IndiaDon't forget to subscribe for more expert conversations on ecology, conservation biology, and wildlife science.Listen to the full episode to understand how cognition and boldness affect species survival, why reptiles deserve a bigger role in agriculture, and what it takes to align local community support with conservation science.For more information, visit our website or follow us on social media:Website: https://thinkwildlifefoundation.com/Twitter: @ThinkWildlifeFnInstagram: @ThinkWildlifeFoundation#AnimalBehavior #ReptileCognition #ConservationBiology #Herpetofauna #BiodiversityConservation #Agroecology #SustainableFarming #WildlifePodcast #BehavioralEcology #PestManagement #AmphibianEcology #ReptileEcology #BiodiversityIndia #AgriculturalConservation #CommunityConservationLet me know if you'd like a version tailored for podcast platforms like Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

In this company update, I'm joined by Mike Konnert, President and CEO of Vizsla Silver (NYSE:VZLA - TSX:VZLA), to discuss two major developments: the resumption of field work at the Panuco Project and the strategic acquisition of the Santa Fe claim package, which includes a currently producing silver-gold mine.   Key Topics Covered: – Santa Fe Acquisition: Mike explains how the deal was forged through long-standing relationships with a private Mexican mining family. The acquisition adds a producing mine, a mill, and significant exploration upside adjacent to the Panuco Project, strengthening Vizsla's district-scale production vision.   – Panuco Project Field Work Resumes: Following a temporary pause, test mining and exploration drilling are back underway. Mike outlines the rapid progress at the Copala test mine and the company's strategy to build out multiple centers of production across the district.   – Exploration Outlook for 2025: With six rigs active and a rolling 10,000-meter drill program, Vizsla is targeting growth both near the current resource and across new high-potential zones like Animas, Colorado, and Santa Enrique. The company is also integrating new EM and geophysical data to refine drill targets.   – Feasibility Study & Project Financing: The upcoming feasibility study is expected to align closely with the strong economics from the PEA. Vizsla currently holds US$100M in the treasury and has advanced project finance discussions. The company aims to be fully funded and permitted to begin construction, targeting production by late 2027.   – Industry Positioning and M&A Trends: Mike highlights recent silver sector M&A deals (like MAG Silver and Pan American), reinforcing that Mexico remains a highly desirable jurisdiction. He sees Vizsla as well-positioned for a major re-rating as the company continues to de-risk and build scale.   If you have any follow up questions for Mike please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.    Click here to visit the Vizsla website to learn more about the Company.

Grain markets, lacking much of a fresh story, drifted their way lower to start the week on Monday. Could talk of a bigger South American crop, early positioning ahead of the May WASDE, fund action and weather be a downward driver on these markets this week? John Heinberg from Total Farm Marketing joins us to discuss the grain and livestock trade to start the week. More at https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com. Also, we continue to see a lot of strength in the cattle market, mainly with cash driving the bus as we get into the month of May. Meantime, the grain trade started the week lower amid no fresh news and a wide open planting window ahead for many areas. Scott Varilek with Kooima Kooima Varilek joins us to discuss. Find more at https://www.kkvtrading.com. Fieldwork has definitely picked up the last few weeks, the question is will it be even more wide open this week? Also, what does the impact of potential cuts have when it comes to forecasting tools that folks like Eric Snodgrass use to forecast our weather? We discuss all that and more with him on our Weekly Weather Update. Find more at https://www.ag-wx.com.

CheloniaCast sits down with renowned turtle ecologist Dr. Justin Congdon, Professor Emeritus at University of Georgia. From a comparison of life history between the shortest lived and long-lived turtles, to analysis of the ‘bigger is better' hypothesis in reference to snapping turtles, Dr. Congdon has done intimate, long-term work with fascinating aspects of chelonian ecology. It is difficult to study long-term shifts in turtle ecology due to long lifespans of individuals, however Dr. Congdon boasts vast data sets spanning multiple decades. The conversation sheds light on some of the deeper findings in prolonged study of the life history of turtles, as well as interesting discussion about turtle lifespans, reproductive strategy, and many other topics.   To see some of Dr. Congdon's research, visit https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Justin-Congdon-2   To learn more about Dr. Congdon's long-term, ongoing, turtle ecology project at the E.S.

Fieldwork undertaken by the Center for Immigration Studies reveals a border now under control, offering clear evidence that the border crisis was never an unstoppable force but rather the result of policy decisions.Last week the Center sent analysts to the Border Patrol's San Diego Sector and across the border to Tijuana, and to the El Paso Sector and across the border to Juarez. These two border sectors had some of the heaviest migrant traffic over the last few years, but now the numbers have plummeted.Center researchers Andrew Arthur and Todd Bensman join Parsing Immigration Policy to discuss what they saw and what policies are making the difference, and three tools in particular:Infrastructure – Expanded fencing and additional concertina wire have been added.Manpower – Border Patrol agents are forward-deployed, no longer being pulled off the line for processing migrants.Criminal Prosecutions – Not only are apprehended migrants no longer being released, but illegal entry is increasingly being handled as a criminal offense, with first-time illegal-crossers facing up to six months in a federal penitentiary.In his closing commentary, host Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director, explains the Alien Enemies Act, enacted in 1798, which is now in the headlines due to the Trump administration using it as the basis for the swift deportation of a group of Venezuelan gang members. The law can only be triggered by a declared war, an invasion, or a predatory incursion by a foreign nation or government. Its application faces legal challenges and will likely reach the Supreme Court.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration StudiesGuestsAndrew Arthur is a Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies.Todd Bensman is a Senior National Security Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedA Border 'Peace Dividend'Eye-Popping February CBP Numbers Show How the Border Has Changed under TrumpThe 225-year-old 'Alien Enemies Act' Needs to Come Out of RetirementTrump Prepares to Use of the Alien Enemies ActIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Interview with Bruce Lane, Executive Director, GTI EnergyOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/gti-energy-asxgtr-boosts-wyoming-uranium-resource-by-50-advances-development-plans-6420Recording date: 3rd of March, 2025GTI Energy is making significant progress on its uranium in-situ recovery (ISR) projects in Wyoming, with a focus on the Lo Herma project that recently reached 8.57 million pounds of uranium resources, 30% in the indicated category. This resource size strategically positions the company alongside similar economic projects in the region being developed by established players like UR Energy and enCore.Executive Director Bruce Lane reports that the company has completed all fieldwork for their feasibility study, including successful metallurgical testing showing good uranium recoveries using alkaline leach processes and permeability testing confirming the project's suitability for ISR methods. The study, conducted by BRS Engineering from Riverton, Wyoming, is expected to be delivered within the next 1-2 months.The economics appear promising, with anticipated capital expenditure of approximately $50-55 million and potential production of around 1 million pounds of uranium annually over an 8-10 year mine life. At uranium prices around $80 per pound, Lane suggests the project could generate $30-40 per pound in free cash flow, offering relatively quick payback and manageable risk.GTI is exploring multiple strategic pathways forward, including growing their resource base and pushing toward permitting, developing satellite deposits, pursuing joint ventures, or potential partnerships with industry players. Lane emphasized their focus on proving the economic case by confirming the geology, metallurgy, and permeability to demonstrate the project's viability as a standalone operation.The current uranium market presents challenges, with spot prices having declined significantly since early last year. However, Lane expressed confidence in eventual improvement, citing fundamental supply-demand dynamics, particularly as the United States aims to achieve self-sufficiency in uranium production, targeting 50 million pounds annually.Given current market conditions, GTI is considering alternative financing approaches beyond traditional equity-debt structures, potentially involving strategic investment from industry participants. Lane also noted the possibility of industry consolidation in the exploration and pre-development space over the next 3-12 months.While they won't be filing development permits this year, Lane indicated it would be feasible to reach that stage within the next 18-24 months if properly funded. As the U.S. works to secure domestic uranium supply, GTI Energy's Wyoming projects represent one piece of what Lane describes as a "game of inches" approach to rebuilding American uranium production capacity.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/gti-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode we are speaking with Sarah Mathew about cooperation – especially how cooperation is achieved in the absence of institutions. Sarah gives some theoretical background, shares the concept of free rider problems and the relationship to punishment. She then illustrates the background based on her fieldwork: She has studied how the Turkana people achieve cooperation when going on raids with possibly even deadly consequences for individual warriors.   Sarah Mathew is Associate Professor at the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University. Her research is focused on studying why humans cooperate and how the evolution of this unique form of cooperation is tied to the origins of moral sentiments, cultural norms, and warfare. To address these issues, she combines formal modelling of the evolution of cooperation with fieldwork.

Over the years, our collective philosophy and approach to coffee has taken many forms as we learn more about what the industry needs to thrive. We as individuals evolve our thoughts and views of coffee often starting with hubris and a strict puritanical view, then opening up to a wider, simpler, generous, and maybe even humble stance on the various ways coffee can be enjoyed and communicated.  Today we are talking about one such journey with the Founder of Fieldwork Coffee and Director of the World Aeropress Championships, Tim Williams! Tim Williams is the director of the World AeroPress Championship, and founder of Melbourne's Fieldwork Coffee. Since the early 2000's, Tim's worked across a range of roles, including Workshop Coffee and Square Mile Coffee Roasters in London, and Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea in Los Angeles. On the sidelines, Tim's collaborated on a number of coffee initiatives including helping to develop Maison Kitsuné's 'Cafe Kitsuné, launching the Gitesi Project, and as a founding member of Coffee Common. Today, Tim lives in Melbourne and divides his time between Fieldwork Coffee, the World AeroPress Championship, running a small charity in rural Rwanda, and raising three kids with his partner, Leah. We talk about: Tim's journey into coffee  The exploding London coffee scene  The shaping forces of competitions and camaraderie  Absolutism in coffee culture and its pitfalls. Understanding coffee requires recognizing its agricultural nuances. Tim emphasizes the importance of hands-on experience in coffee roasting. Cupping coffee critically is essential for quality control. Tim's philosophical shift from conquering coffee to celebrating its complexities.  Why specialization allows for deeper expertise in coffee. Innovative approaches can streamline coffee release processes. Customer expectations are shaped by consistent quality. Why critical feedback is s necessary for growth in the coffee industry. How the World Areopress Championships champion fundamentals.  The argument for taste as the most important aspect of coffee. Understanding brewing variables enhances coffee quality. How nuance in coffee brewing leads to better results.

The top of Mount Everest is a cold, unforgiving place to conduct scientific research. So are the mangrove jungles deep in the Amazon, accessible only by boat. But for scientists, those regions can be some of the most important sources of data when it comes to the climate crisis. Nevada State Climatologist and geography professor Baker Perry and his colleague, fellow geography professor Julie Loisel, share some of their insights into extreme fieldwork locations and why the science there is too important to ignore. This episode is hosted by Hitchcock Project for Visualizing Science student Ali Dickson.

I read from fielding percentage to fieldwork.     Typically "field of view" is used for "external apparatus" but if you're talking about the eyeballs (retinas), then the average human has about a 210 degree field of view. I'm sure that lessens for many humans as they get older. I think mine is a bit less.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view     The word of the episode is "field trip".     Use my special link https://zen.ai/thedictionary to save 30% off your first month of any Zencastr paid plan.    Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr     Theme music from Jonah Kraut https://jonahkraut.bandcamp.com/     Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar     "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter E" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter F" on YouTube     Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/     Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq     https://linktr.ee/spejampar dictionarypod@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://www.threads.net/@dictionarypod https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757

Bruce's research is focused on the birds of the boreal conifer forests of the U.S. and Canada. He is interested in understanding how the permanent resident birds survive in these forests year round. Bruce spends much of his free time outside and immersed in nature. He enjoys playing tennis, going for hikes, and kayaking, as well as watching wildlife at the feeders outside his home. He completed his undergraduate studies in American Civilization at Williams College and received his Masters and PhD degrees in Biology from Princeton University where he studied behavioral ecology of the birds of paradise. Afterwards, Bruce worked for ten years at the Smithsonian's Natural Museum of Natural history. Before returning to the Museum in 2014, Bruce worked for Conservation International, the Wildlife Conservation Society, the U.S. Department of State, Counterpart International, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Bruce is a Fellow of the American Ornithologists Union, and he is the author of eleven books including a field guide and a taxonomic checklist of Birds of New Guinea and the recently released book North on the Wing. In our interview, Bruce shared some of his fantastic stories about life and science.

China's push to revise the international security order entered a new phase with the launch of the Global Security Initiative (GSI) in April 2022. A few months after Xi Jinping proposed GSI, host Bonnie Glaser did a podcast episode with Manoj Kewalramani to discuss the drivers behind GSI and analyze the initial statements outlining its content. More than 2 ½ years have elapsed since then, and scholars have begun to investigate how China is implementing GSI in various regions around the world. A new report from the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) examines how GSI is being operationalized and received in two priority regions of Chinese foreign policy: mainland Southeast Asia and Central Asia. The study draws on field research in both regions. The report is titled “China's Global Security Initiative Takes Shape in Southeast and Central Asia.” The report has three authors: Bates Gill, Carla Freeman and Alison McFarland. Bonnie Glaser is joined by Bates Gill for this episode to discuss the report's findings. Bates is a senior fellow with the National Bureau of Asian Research, a Senior Associate Fellow with the Royal United Services Institute, and associated with USIP.Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:53] Objectives of China's Global Security Initiative [04:22] GSI as an Additive or a Replacement[07:21] Fieldwork in Southeast and Central Asia[12:06] Concerns about China's Intentions and Influence[15:24] GSI Initiatives and Sources of Funding[19:58] GSI and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation[23:55] Moscow's View of GSI [29:27] Implications of GSI for the United States

FYLD has raised $48M to transform how infrastructure field workers execute their daily tasks safely and efficiently. In a recent episode of Category Visionaries, I spoke with Shelley Copsey, CEO and Co-Founder of FYLD, about creating a new category in field work execution and building during a pandemic. The company has achieved 3x ARR growth last year and is on track to double bookings revenue this year, with near-zero churn rates. Topics Discussed: The daily challenges of infrastructure field workers in utilities, roads, and railways Creating and capturing demand in a new software category Enterprise sales strategy in the infrastructure sector Scaling during COVID with remote customer discovery The reality of labor shortages in field operations Building customer trust in critical infrastructure GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Rethink conventional wisdom on market problems: While many discuss a labor shortage in field operations, FYLD's data shows 30-35% standing time across companies. Shelley explains, "I'm not convinced that there is a labor crisis... when you begin to look at that level of standing time, I think you've got to question if we've got a labor shortage or we've just got a problem of understanding what the people in the field are doing." Sometimes the most discussed market problem isn't actually the root cause. Design pricing models that encourage full adoption: FYLD shifted from per-seat licensing to enterprise-wide deals after realizing usage limitations undermined platform value. Shelley notes, "If what your premise is by collecting large volumes of data, you can help people do their jobs better and more efficiently, your go-to-market model can actually undermine delivering the benefit from the platform." Pricing should align with your product's value creation mechanism. Leverage industry-specific collaboration dynamics: In infrastructure, safety improvements aren't viewed as competitive advantages but as shared responsibilities. As one CEO told Shelley, "If you can help me keep workers safer, more mums and dads are going to think that this is a good career for their kid... if we can all keep people safer, we're all going to be able to grow as an industry." Understanding these dynamics can accelerate market penetration through referrals. Navigate complex stakeholder alignment: Enterprise sales in infrastructure require buy-in from COOs, heads of safety, CIOs, and CFOs. Shelley shares, "Enterprise sales cycles are well known to take 9, 12, 15 months. In the infrastructure industry, we're moving a bit quicker than that." Success requires systematically addressing each stakeholder's priorities while maintaining momentum. Build for end-users first: FYLD maintains an 8/10 customer satisfaction score among field workers, unprecedented in their industry. Shelley emphasizes, "There's no point going out and selling a product related to fieldwork if the field workers hate using the platform and won't adopt it." In B2B, while buyers sign the checks, end-user adoption drives long-term success.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

My interest in science is quite poetic. The things that I find the most interesting about science are when it can be woven into a story that makes sense and I think that's kind of artistic in a way: you take the scientific knowledge and make it into a more abstract kind of poetic thing.Note: I'll be back during the winter of 2025 with season 6 on the theme of 'art and culture in times of crisis and collapse'. Also, this episode was published on October 23, 2024 : our daughter Clara Schryer's 23rd birthday. Bonne fête chère Clara!*(arctic soundscapes: Clara and Noa Caspi talking about drones + daily check in with Resolute + candle ice breaking + plane arriving)This is the final episode of the fifth season of the conscient podcast.(arctic soundscapes: Clara trying to imitate Claude's style of simplesoundscapes recording while searching for candle ice)This season began on February 21, 2024 with e154 featuring my son Riel's research on ethics in science:I don't think there's going to be any serious response to the climate crisis until real catastrophes start happening. That tends to be how it works. And once you start seeing that, then you'll start seeing very serious action being put in place. Although, we'll see at that point, if it's too late or not.(arctic soundscapes: Clara and Noa talking about recording technology)This last episode features field recordings that Noa Caspi and Clara recorded during a 2-month field research project at the Cape Bounty Arctic Watershed Observatory on Melville Island in Nunavut during the summer of 2024. You'll hear Clara talk about some of her favorite sounds, including the unique vibrations of ‘candle ice': I get to the field in early June, and on the lake, there's two to 3 meters of ice and that only melts. Like, the lake is ice free for like, maybe a couple weeks max, sometimes not even at all, depending on the year and how much ice there was and the temperature and stuff. But this really thick ice as it melts, and I don't know exactly how, but it forms into these kinds of candles.(arctic soundscapes : Clara and Noa talking about candle ice + Clara walking around in moss)In between soundscapes from the arctic, you'll hear Clara talk about the rapid changes in the Arctic and some of the challenges of envisioning a new future and how art might help us imagine possibilities amidst uncertainty.(arctic soundscapes : bird song, wind)Northerners are facing a new world a lot faster than the rest of us are and I'm not sure what to say other than figuring out how to... What's the wording: creating the conditions for the new world… (for other… other possible worlds to emerge – Claude) Imagining what that new possible world could look like is tricky. (And that's what art does - Claude). That's what art does.(arctic soundscapes : Clara and Noa talking about recording in the field)My conversation with Clara reminded me that scientific knowledge can be transformed into poetic narratives and that we benefit from both scientific and artistic creative work. One might even speculate that they are more or less the same thing. (arctic soundscapes : walking on the tundra)And at any rate.All of this requires a lot of listening.*Sections of the episode (generated by AI and reviewed by Claude Schryer)WelcomeIn this introductory chapter, Clara joins Claude marking the season finale.

In a podcast episode, researchers in Australia discussed their successful use of camera tags on endangered sea lions to map benthic habitats in Southern Australia. By equipping the sea lions with small, lightweight cameras, researchers were able to track their movements and visually document the diverse benthic habitats they encountered. The data obtained from the animal-borne video and movement data provided critical information for mapping previously unmapped benthic habitats on the continental shelf. This method allowed researchers to cover over 5,000 square kilometers of seabed, offering valuable insights into the habitats used by the sea lions. The resulting videos from the camera tags enabled researchers to identify various benthic habitats, including macroalgae reef, macroalgae meadow, bare sand, sponge and sand habitats, invertebrate reefs, and invertebrate boulders. By leveraging the natural movements of these sea lions, researchers were able to gather data on a large scale without the need for expensive equipment like remotely operated vehicles or drones. This approach not only helped in mapping critical habitats for the endangered Australian sea lions but also had broader implications for surveying other marine species of interest. The cost-effectiveness and efficiency of using animals for mapping benthic habitats highlight the potential for this method to be a valuable tool in conservation and exploration efforts. The successful use of sea lions to map benthic habitats demonstrates an innovative and sustainable approach to gathering crucial data for conservation purposes. This method not only benefits the protection of endangered species but also contributes to a better understanding of marine ecosystems and habitats, paving the way for more effective conservation strategies in the future. Camera tags on animals, such as sea lions, have proven to be invaluable tools in gathering data on habitat use and movement patterns. In the podcast episode, researchers in Australia utilized camera tags on endangered sea lions to map benthic habitats in Southern Australia. By equipping the sea lions with small, lightweight cameras, researchers were able to track their movements and visually observe the different habitats they encountered. This innovative approach allowed for the mapping of over 5,000 square kilometers of seabed, providing critical information for the protection of the endangered Australian sea lions. The use of camera tags on animals not only aids in the conservation of specific species but also contributes to broader marine conservation efforts. By studying the habitat use and movement patterns of marine mammals like sea lions, researchers can gain insights into the diversity and distribution of benthic habitats. This information is essential for effective marine conservation planning, as it helps identify critical habitats for protection and informs management strategies for endangered species. The success of using camera tags on sea lions highlights the potential of this technology in advancing marine conservation efforts. By leveraging the natural movements of animals to gather data on underwater habitats, researchers can overcome the challenges associated with traditional mapping methods, such as the high cost of remotely operated vehicles and limited coverage of survey areas. The ability to visually observe and document habitat use through animal-borne cameras opens up new possibilities for studying and protecting marine ecosystems. Overall, the use of camera tags on animals like sea lions represents a promising approach to conservation biology. By harnessing the power of animal movements to collect data on benthic habitats, researchers can enhance their understanding of marine environments and contribute to the preservation of endangered species and marine biodiversity. Proper protocols and care must be followed when using camera tags on animals to ensure their safety and well-being during the research process. In the podcast episode, researchers equipped eight endangered Australian sea lions with small, lightweight cameras to track their movements and map benthic habitats. The cameras and tracking instruments were carefully attached to the sea lions using small pieces of neoprene glued onto their fur, weighing less than one percent of the sea lion's body weight to prevent any negative effects on their swimming abilities. Furthermore, the researchers took precautions to ensure the camera tags did not hinder the sea lions' movements or cause any harm. They monitored the animals closely and recorded over 89 hours of footage over two to three days. Additionally, the researchers sedated the sea lions when retrieving the cameras to prevent any stress or harm to the animals during the process. This approach demonstrates the importance of following proper protocols and care when using camera tags on animals for research purposes. By prioritizing the safety and well-being of the animals, researchers can gather valuable data while minimizing any potential negative impacts on the study subjects. This ethical and responsible approach is essential in wildlife research to ensure the welfare of the animals involved and maintain the integrity of the research findings.
