Podcasts about hybrid vigor

My guest is Dr. Melissa Ilardo, Ph.D., professor of biomedical informatics at the University of Utah. We discuss the interplay between genes and behaviors, including how certain behaviors can improve resilience by changing gene and organ function, as well as natural selection events happening in humans today. We also discuss the immune system–related reasons people find the smells of potential mates attractive—or not. We explore how physical and psychological traits are passed from one generation to the next, and the specific behaviors that can influence gene expression to improve health and performance. Melissa explains her lab's pioneering research on breath-hold training and how activation of the dive reflex through breath holding can significantly improve oxygen availability by changing spleen size and function. We also delve into the medical uses and ethics of gene editing to cure disease in both babies and adults. For those interested in genes and inheritance, human performance, immune system function, and natural selection, this episode illustrates the remarkable interplay between human nature and nurture.

Jeff Crosby, KDFWR Fisheries Biologist, joins us for this episode of the Kentucky Afield Podcast! We'll dive into some of the most aggressive biting and hard fighting fish that the state has to offer, and explore the hybrid species in-depth. Why do they make hybrids? What's the advantage? Do they truly fight harder? We'll answer those questions and many more on this episode of the podcast!

This week on the Head Shepherd podcast, we're joined by Dr Pedro Fontes from the University of Georgia to talk about beef cattle reproduction. Pedro's research focuses on optimising fertility through artificial insemination (AI), synchronisation protocols, and embryo transfer strategies.Mark and Pedro discuss the latest findings on GnRH compounds, how pre-synchronisation boosts conception rates, why improved ultrasound technology is enhancing embryo recipient selection and how excess bull condition affects fertility. If you're looking for new ways to improve reproductive efficiency in your herd, this episode is a must-listen. Send us a message Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited.

Travis and Robby host another Bearded Wonder, the one and only Ryan Avery. They get into the dedicated rangefinder versus the range-finding bino debate, mules vs. horses, and what it's like to do yoga with someone who hasn't showered in three weeks. Travis and Ryan do a deep-dive into the benefits and how-to of using mules in the backcountry. Travis touches on the interesting term "Hybrid Vigor" here that might explain the differences in mules vs. horses physical and cognitive abilities. They also mention Jordan Budd's latest mule deer film, Utah Archery Hunt: The Maxxis Buck here great little film so be sure and give it a watch. https://youtu.be/HepSGFcrDMk?si=bb50dQW6b1lg9iSZ Thanks for listening and supporting the Rokcast.  If you're getting value from the Rokcast, please leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

Ep200 – The Powers of Prepotency or the Allure of Hybrid Vigor One is temporary, the other is long lasting, but which is best? As a breeder, you have many tools that you can use to create and improve your strain. None are more important, or have the force to move your strain forward than that of Prepotency. The problem is, for many breeders, Hybrid Vigor gets all the credit. The truth of the matter, Prepotency and Hybrid Vigor are both incredible forces of nature, but are on opposite sides of the same coin. One is long lasting, and is passed down to future generations, while the other is short lived and can't be reproduced or repeated.  Listen in as we discuss the Powers of Prepotency, or the Allure of Hybrid Vigor, and how you can use these forces to improve the quality and performance of your strains. This is a show you do not want to miss! We specialize in breeding, and breeding related topics. This includes proper selection practices and the use of proven breeding programs. It is our mission to provide our followers and members a greater understanding of poultry breeding, poultry genetics, poultry health care and disease prevention, and how to improve the production and performance ability of your fowl.    If you are interested in creating a strain, or improving your established strain, you are in the right place.  We also want to encourage you to join us at the Breeders Academy, where we will not only help you increase your knowledge of breeding and advance your skills as a breeder, but improve the quality and performance of your fowl.

Every once in a while life and art intertwine. This week we bring you James Reams, who is a musician and artist who started life off in Kentucky, traveled to Wisconsin and had a long  career in New York. He has been named the Kentucky Songbird and the Ambassador of Bluegrass, but he started life off on a farm. We caught up with James in Arizona this week, where we sat down with him to talk about his background and how farming and music have some similarities. Both are an art form.Links:http://www.jamesreams.comhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Reamshttps://www.facebook.com/jamesreams.barnstormers/https://bluegrasstoday.com/rough-around-the-edges-from-james-reams/https://www.bluegrassunlimited.com/article/like-a-flowing-river-soundtrack-album/https://www.amazon.com/music/player/albums/B09LZ7Z7FF?ref=sr_1_1&keywords=James+Reams+like+a+flowing+river&crid=3ADURMU6V091K&sprefix=james+reams+like+a+flowing+river%2Caps%2C259&qid=1649871513&sr=8-1https://www.amazon.com/James-Reams-Flowing-Bluegrass-Passage/dp/B08DCVLTQX/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3ADURMU6V091K&keywords=James+Reams+like+a+flowing+river&qid=1649871513&sprefix=james+reams+like+a+flowing+river%2Caps%2C259&sr=8-2Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/agriCulturePodcast)

TeZa Lord has been living a creative, dynamic, passionate and spiritual life. That doesn't even sum it up! Spreading love is her thing.In this episode, TeZa tells us her journey in finding Hybrid Vigor, her second illustrated non fiction book, and most certainly not her last. She also shares her knowledge on animal spirits/guides and how we too are animals with the same archetypes."My childhood dream was to fly above life's dangers. By indiscriminately sowing positive thought seeds, I am now truly flying. Not with a winged body, but by Being comfortably aligned with Spirit. I call myself a lieutenant in the Army of Love"For Further Info on TeZa;Website: https://tezalord.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/tezalord/Instagram: http://instagram.com/tezalordYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvG2AgcdA1jJUNFMCFlYAagPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/zlord-podcast/id1471748559

Love is very difficult to define because it can be a verb but it can also be a noun. We can have love for others, pets, places, ourselves, etc, and all this can mean different things. Love can be beautiful but the constant search for love (specially outside ourselves) can become a very overwhelming. Sometimes, some people become enraptured with the idea of finding love in another person, mainly because this is where society told us happiness lies in, but also because being completely focused on someone else distracts us from our own personal issues and growth. In this episode we discuss very controversial aspects of love, love addiction and self-love with Teza Lord, the author of the book Hybrid Vigor. In this book Teza portrays different lessons on love that are given to us by different animals. I personally enjoyed this book very much and I was very happy that Teza wanted to be part of the podcast! She is an excellent spiritual activist with and incredible story. We hope you enjoy this episode! If you want to know more about Teza Lord you can find her on Instagram at @tezalord!

This episode, #58, begins something new here on ZLORD podcast. In between our usual conversations, either with cohosts teZa and Carter Lord, or with a special guest, teZa will be reading and "interpreting" visual images of books she has published. This is something that has been asked for by many of our listeners. It's very soothing to be read to, and we hope you enjoy this special way of receiving an audio-book. Look for each book's title with the next consecutive number, to hear the next installment. This first book is an 83-page artbook. "We Are One" is a handsome, 10-inch square, linen-bound volume, with exuberantly colorful images and silver-text printed on entirely black, heavy paper. Start off listening to "We Are One"'s introduction, .. Pause ... Take a Breath. The information you hear is pertinent to understanding Oneness. teZa offers an intimate glimpse of Oneness she experienced first-hand. The next segment of this audio-book on ZLORD podcast will offer teZa's describing with words, the images that she herself created. Each vivid image (that you will "see" in your mind's eye) has a short text, a poetic insight as a means of better "diving into" each unique vision. Many fans of "We Are One" use each page-spread, with its unique visionary image and short poem, as a daily focus on meditation. The images are very inspiring and calming. Be sure to check back for our next episode! After "We Are One" is completed, will be the audio-book of teZa's nonfiction narrative "Zen Love." This is a multi-generational saga illustrating how our world is truly one blended family, each of our separate groups. True to her writer/artist nature, teZa illustrates all her nonfiction works, and she will describe each of the black-and-white illustrations interspersed throughout her books. For those who are interested, "In the I," the first nonfiction narrative published by teZa, is offered as an audible book on Amazon, as well as paperback. For this reason, it will be the last of her audio-books offered here on ZLOR podcast. The book after "Zen Love" read for you will be "Hybrid Vigor," an interconnected series of essays about the evolutionary trajectory of humankind that we're all on. All teZa's books are available on Amazon. Carter will return for another exciting conversation with teZa very soon! He's involved with video and writing projects presently and can't commit to ZLORD podcast except at spontaneous times. We hope to catch him real soon! He sends his love to every one of the podcast's listeners. Be well and stay safe during this dangerous Covid pandemic.

Listen in to this week's message as we celebrate the opening of our new building! We hope this message leaves you challenged, encouraged, and inspired.

 Well, it's that time again - the 60's and 70's are back.  Yes, bell bottoms have been in and out again six times now, but that's not what we mean.  We're referring to the fact that people in this generation are becoming active and vocal participants in their future.  Some of us might get up and cheer, some of us might roll our eyes, but you have to admire that they're doing something.     The National Western Stock Show is coming up in January, so we're highlighting a quick interview from our adventure there last year.  The annual American Highland Cattle Association members were there for their annual show and auction (bagpipes included, thank you), and we spoke with a young lady who is not only going places in business, but who made a big impression at the show and sale with her prize heifer.     We hear from her as to how her experiences growing up at Seawind Meadows Farm on Cape Cod have shaped her view of conservation and resource management.  She also talks about how Scottish Highland Cattle have been a part of that learning curve, and her thoughts on how heritage breeds can be a part of a more efficient future for all of us.     We think that's better than pervasive apathy and “yeah, sure, whatever” any day of the week.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/agriCulturePodcast)

A mammoth week for the Lords as the awesomeness continues to amaze them! They left car-camping in the bosom of Nature to head straight into the heart of Los Angeles, for a special visit to a film studio. Now teZa and Carter are on their way back to their tent but first, a quick stop in Las Vegas. That's where teZa had to do some serious pre-book-launch promo work on Wifi. Gaining Bestseller status in 7 Kindle categories! this book of teZa's (whose title, Hybrid Vigor, is curiously never mentioned on the podcast) is the satisfying result of lots of work. The ZLORD talking heads then aim for Love, in all its glory. Because everything, after all, is the result of someone, somewhere following their passion, their bliss--their love.

You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening. Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Jacob Kenner emailed a photo: "Marc, I was listening to #427 while cleaning up the donkey pen when you asked us to share what we do while listening. I realized I almost always save the podcast for when I have a farm chore or a building project. I think it helps me relax and keep going. This is Violet (left) and Franklin (right), rescued donkeys we have in north central Washington State in the Okanogan highlands. Thanks for letting me share Celtic music with my donkey friends." Bryan MacAvoy emailed: "I was teleworking, recovering from ACL surgery, and listening to the pod (from 9/12), and practically dropped my laptop on the floor and re-injured myself jumping to see what that sound was: BassPipes, Orchestral Pipestep, that’s what. LOVE IT. I quickly went over to Amazon music to find what they had there (a few more), and am listening. I would not have thought myself a fan of Celtic Trad/ Dubstep Fusion, but here we are! Would love an episode dedicated to Gaelic Trad sounds in modern dance/ hip hop/ pop. I know that’s a tight niche, but if anyone is up to it, it’s you!" Beth Hlabse emailed photos: “Hi, Marc,I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for another wonderful podcast (412). Thanks to you, I discovered Heather Dale and I was very happy to hear her once again on you ‘cast. I’ve attached some photos of what I do while listening to the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. I’ve been cross-stitching since I was 12 (more years ago than I want to say) and I’ve found that listening to your podcast has kept me going on my more difficult projects. Keep up the good work and much joy, peace and happiness in your new home!"    Aaron Adair emailed: "Hi, Marc--I've been a LONG time listener and recent supporter through Patreon and have loved the music you've played over the years. It has made me yearn for my home country although until now I've never been. Thanks to you and your terrific podcast, I'm currently waiting to take off for Dublin, Adare, Galway, and points in between for my very first trip home. Listening to the Ramblin' Irishman episode is the perfect episode to prepare me for my adventure. Thanks for all you do to encourage, educate, and support artists and listeners about the greatness of Celtic music. Blessings to you and your family. " Robyn emailed: "Hi Marc, I, of course, love your podcast. Recently the love of my life, my husband, died. And I wanted to share with you how we listened to your podcast. I would come home from work and my dogs (3) and my husband would jump in the car and we'd go for a ride. It was a time with no phone, no distractions, just connecting with each other and see how each other's day went. Often we'd be listening to your podcast, singing along or just enjoying the music. Okay so not so unusual - one of our favorites is Loch Lomand. And now that he's gone ughhh brings me to tears each time I hear it but I can't stop playing it. I had missed some podcasts due to his illness, but when I listened to #407 oh my. Sobbing in my car, and remembering loving, great times. Thank-you for adding to the connection to life and love you have brought me. And now I have become a patron in honor of my husband, John. Slainte."   #celticwomen #irishmusic #celticmusic

Where we learned that Pennsylvania is not only the home of Penn State, but it has green pastures, wonderfully gracious and generous people, and steak to die for (sigh).  Dirt that made you want to take your shoes off and run wild.And Elara got to ride in the grain truck -- Rick the combine.Oh.  Any by the way, there were big, beautiful, fluffy, majestic Scottish Highland Cattle in various colors everywhere -- one of our absolute favorite animals so far.  As far as breeds go, there can be only one (and thank you, to all you sci-fi fans who actually got that reference). And the steak was really, really, really good. (sigh)Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/agriCulturePodcast)

If something is broken, fix it. That's what my dad told me when I was a kid. The simple fact is things break all the time. We don't fix always fix them. We get stuck in a rut.  But it's the way things have always been. The way things are. It's a tradition. So we choose not to change. 2018 was a good year for me. I rebelled. I broke down traditional music business barriers. Now I'm forging a new path for a new year for my music...and for this podcast. The Pub Songs Podcast is reborn this year. It's a little bit more like a pub. I’m not gonna plan every detail of what I say. Instead, I’m gonna kick back. We’re gonna chat about music... and stuff.  Pub Songs Podcast is music and community.

But I found some great Celtic music from The Gothard Sisters, FIMM, Bonnie Rideout, Dublin Harpers, Eilis Crean, Good Foot, Dearest Home, Sarah Copus, Burning Bridget Cleary, Solasta, Fromseier Rose, Beth Patterson, Searson, Emish, Plaidgrass. http://celticmusicpodcast.com/ Listen and share this podcast.

Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Henry Meger emailed: "Dia dhuit, Marc, I discovered your podcast last spring and have been entranced and charmed with it ever since as I catch up to date. Just wanted to send some personal thanks. My father has been playing Celtic guitar for most of his life and all of mine, so it's been in the house since day one. I thought I had heard it all, each corner and subgenre to be found, but my library has been greatly and duly humbled by your extensive and seasoned pallet. I've shared the podcast and many of its contents with my dad, and it has enriched our Celtic cosmos remarkably. I took the podcast with me last summer while studying abroad in Russia and it was a wonderful way to keep in touch with my roots during my commute. Having also spent time in non-Celtic Spain, the Galicia episode opened another door in my musical conception of Iberia. In short, Thank you!! An amateur flute player myself, I would love to hear a flute-heavy episode, and I'm sure all musicians who listen to the podcast would love their own instrument-themed episodes. Just a thought that has crossed my mind (not that you don't have plenty already!) Keep up the fantastic work---it's very much appreciated!" Thank you Henry. I haven't done a flute or whistle episode. Let me see what I can put together. I wish I had an easy way to search my archive for flute music. Sadly, I don't. But perhaps I can reach out to you and all my listeners. If you have heard some bands with flute or whistle, please email me the band names so I can make a possible list of the podcast. Jennifer Lohman emailed a picture: "While I am listening to your podcast from Terra Alta, WV (USA) 31 degrees here today-so the dogs & I are staying in." Stephen Reimann emailed: "Dear Celt Father, I am a big fan of your show and what you are doing to add breadth and depth to those who listen to Celtic music. I am an Account Manager for a major Pharmaceutical company which requires an extensive amount of driving.  By extensive I mean on average 60K miles each year.  Your podcast enables me to not only pass the time driving between accounts, but also increase my knowledge and love of all things musically Irish and Celtic.  The theme diversity of your shows is stellar.  Just like Christopher Walken’s SNL character, The Bruce Dickinson, needed “More Cowbell,” I need more bagpipes.  Any chance of another Bagpipe theme’d show in the near future? Thank you for all you do to sharpen our proverbial musical sgian-dubhs." Stephen “Bow Tie Steve” Reimann (Rye-man) Thanks Bow Tie Steve. Yeah. You can never have enough bagpipes. It will have to be a few months, but I'll add that to the list as well. Maybe I should add both this and the flute show as milestones... Would you be interested in another bagpipe show as well. Drop me a line.

Gordon emailed: "Hi Marc, Thanks for the magnificent podcast. I listen to it on long car rides and the music is terrific. I especially love the Celtic Star Wars tunes. I hope to catch you at a forthcoming Ren Faire. I'm a college professor and screenwriter and have recently completed a feature female-driven adventure screenplay that incorporates aspects of Scottish folklore. It's called The Storm King and is about Skye Blackwood, the 18-year-old reluctant successor to a remote village’s leader. She's forced to take up the mantle when the adults of her community, including her older brother, abruptly vanish, pushing her to set out with a ramshackle team to find them and become the leader she never wanted to be. The script recently made the top 10% of the Academy Nicholl Screenwriting Fellowships, which is a top screenwriting competition. I'm excited! I listened to a good number of your podcasts while writing it and the music was inspiring. I realize this is a total shot in the dark, but if you know of any managers, producers, or reps who'd be interested in reading such a thing, I'd be very grateful for the referral (and I'd absolutely become a patron). Either way, keep up the great work and I look forward to more excellent, inspiring music." Thanks Jared. I'll be honest. Networking is not my strong suit. That's one of the reasons I podcast. It's easier than trying to go out and meet people. Yes, believe it or not, but I am a major introvert. That said, if anyone out there knows managers, producers or reps, contact Jared. Or me. I could use help too. Carol Baril commented on Patreon: "I listen to these podcasts while working at my computer software developement job.

Do you know that most of the corn you eat are hybrids? Do you know that Ligers are generally bigger than both tigers and lions? Why? This is because of something called hybrid vigor. Viviana June talks about hybrid vigor and her work studying the circadian rhythm in Arabidopsis plant hybrids. There is also lots of Kale love.    Fact clarification: Arabidopsis species have a genome size of roughly 135 Mbp

We dedicate this episode of the podcast to Chapter 9 - Hybridism in Darwin's Origin of Species (OoS). We all agree that this chapter is one of the most challenging chapters to read in OoS. In this chapter Darwin force marches the reader through example after example of hybrids while simultaneously admitting his ignorance on why these creatures should exist.It is not inherently obvious to the reader why they are being subjected to this catalog of biological anomaly and minutiae concerning pollination of orchids and other flowers but Darwin is adamant to share his knowledge, like a proud new parent inflicting others to look at numerous photos of their newborn. Darwin , early in Chapter I of OoS, argued against the notion that new species are formed through hybridization of existing species and we expected him to make that point in this chapter, but he never really does.It seems that by the end of the chapter we are exhausted from Darwin's recounting various animal and plant hybrids and admitting his ignorance of sterility in hybrids but that does not dissuade Darwin from concluding he was right all along - “…the facts given in this chapter do not seem to me opposed to the belief that species aboriginally [emphasis added] existed as varieties”. Darwin stays on point.We started off our discussion identifying our favorite hybrids. Josh first suggested mermaids as his favorite hybrid but James required he offer up a "real" hybrid.Mermaids James grew up with in FloridaJosh introduced us to the Liger, a hybrid between a male lion and female tiger both species have 38 chromosomes which also allows for reciprocal mating. Male tigers and female lions create tigons. The hybrid nomenclature is a portmanteau word derived from using the male species as the prefix and the female as the ending of the name hence a liger and tigon being separate types of hybrids.900 lb Hercules Sarah mentioned the Zedonk, a hybrid between a zebra and a donkey. This is another one of the hybrids that are created artificially in captivity. Few people realize that there are actually three different species of zebras - Grevy's, Plains and Mountain zebras - and each species has their own number of chromosomes. Grevy's zebras zebras have 46 chromosomes, Plains zebras have 44 and the Mountain zebra has 32 chromosomes whereas the donkey has 62.Image from Carole Coleman James suggested the Grolar, a hybrid between a grizzly and polar bear, was his favorite hybrid.A grizzly bear with her grolar cubsUnlike the liger and zedonk, the grolar occur in nature when the two species of bears interact. Historically grolar bears were less common since Grizzly bear distribution was further south than Polar bears but the warming of the climate has caused both bears to extend their range, polar bears southward and grolar bears northward, such they now more commonly overlap during the breeding season. Research suggests Polar bears "recently" diverged from brown bear ancestors with the speciation event occurring only 343,000-479,000 years ago. A mere blink of time in terms of the geological record.We discussed the most famous of all hybrids, the mule and how it is formed from the male donkey breeding with a female horse. Pictured below is a horse (left) and a mule (right) showing how the mule is often much larger than either of its parents, an example of Hybrid Vigor. picture by MerleWe noted that the mule hybrid can only be formed from male donkeys and female horses and rarely rarely formed from a male horse and female donkey. Sarah suggested that the reason the mule can only be formed from a male donkey and female horse has to do with the constraints of difference in gestation times between horses and donkeys. It turns out that horse gestation is 11-12 months whereas donkey gestation period is 11-14 months. There is a lot of overlap in gestation time between the two animals but it is an intriguing idea to consider it may influence non-reciprocal successful mating.  We introduced the idea of prezygotic isolating mechanisms and how they would evolve to prevent hybrids from being formed. Behavioral isolation is frequently seen in the complex displays and calls given by a variety of birds species and James mentioned the beautiful flashing patterns exhibited by the different species of fireflies. The image below shows the species-specific color and flash pattern of lightning bugs in Florida.Go here to learn more about firefliesJosh introduced us to the sordid and dark world of duck mating behavior and male duck genital morphology. Here is just one example of the size and complexity of the male duck penis which has evolved in response to female duck vaginas. Female ducks have evolved elaborate shaped vaginas to avoid fertilization from other species of ducks.This interesting topic is covered nicely in this short article here. Sarah spent some time explaining the intricacies of pollination and how pollen is actually greatly reduced multicellular structure that produces sperm - pollen is actually plant testicles. Plants evolve complex pollen grains, much like the extreme duck penis, to create reproductive barriers between species. The forms of inter-specific (between-species) barriers to reproduction would evolve because those individuals who are more discerning in their choice of mates would waste less time/energy fertilizing and producing those hybrid offspring which are often, at best, viable but infertile but more likely enviable. Often it is the female of the species that is the one who evolves the reproductive challenge for the male because she produces fewer, and often more metabolically expensive, gametes (eggs/ova) than her male (sperm) counterpart and therefore has more to lose if she errs on who she mates with than he.  Public domain image (created by the Dartmouth Electron Microscope Facility) Ultimately we conclude that hybrids exist because Darwin was correct in his model of speciation, that is new species derive from varieties of preexisting species (see Chapter 4 blog post) so they share many of the common genetic traits with their ancestral or closely related species. Surprisingly Darwin did not recognize that hybrids are his best argument against the special creation model of immutable species since one should not expect hybridism to occur between two immutably formed species that were specially created."That's a Wrap" & "Aces High" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Humans have capitalized on the phenomenon of hybrid vigor -- a cross-breeding response in which a more robust offspring is the result -- to create everything from high yield corn varieties and endless tomatoes to mules and designer dogs. How does hybrid vigor work?
