How do plants communicate using sound? How do they remember previous stimuli that have proven not to be threat, when at first they seemed like one? Where is the memory encoded considering they have no brain? What are the implications for biology of plant memory? In this episode we cover the ground breaking topics in plant cognition studies of: plant intelligence, behaviour, memory and communication. The type of experiments presented here have never really been done before, because there has always been an assumption in plant science that the cellular cognition that all living cells have, relies solely on light, touch or chemical interactions; so it doesn't really permit for plant behaviour, memory and consciousness. So with my guest today, the first scientist to bypass the assumptions and try these tests, we're going to discuss her experiments with plants; that clearly show not only basic memory and the corresponding updated behaviour based on that memory, but even pavlovian memory, i.e. associative memory that requires arbitrary stimuli to take on meaning to the plant. Obviously all of this has massive implications for distributed memory and memory beyond brains. We're also going to get into plant medicine and other indigenous approaches to connecting with plant consciousness; and what plant communication and biophilia in general might do for our relationship to the natural world as we face imminent biosphere collapse. My guest is of course, the research associate professor of Evolutionary Ecology at several universities in Australia, Monica Gagliano. She's published over 60 scientific papers, across the fields of Ecology, Plant Cognition, Plant Communications and Marine Ecology. She is also the author of the books “The Language of Plants: Science, Philosophy and Literature”,  and the highly celebrated,“Thus Spoke the Plant, A remarkable Journey of Groundbreaking Scientific Discoveries and Personal Encounters”. What we discuss: 00:00  Intro 05:00 The consensus on Plant intelligence & communication. 09:20 The difference between reacting and responding in cognition. 10:00 Bio-acoustic communication between plants. 21:07 Possible methods for plants to percieve sound. 22:00 Response to gravity may be similar. 23:30 Her plant memory experiment with Mimosa. 27:15 ‘Habituation' learning: screening out non-useful stimuli. 32:15 The connection between hardship and accelerated adaptive learning. 37:50 Her ‘Pavlovian' associative memory experiment with peas. 46:10 The Implications of plant memory for modern biology.  49:25 Where is memory stored without a nervous system? 52:30 Monica's ethical crisis in animal studies. 01:00:00 ‘Pavlovian' associative memory experiment with peas. 01:01:30 ‘Dieta', amazonian plant communication practice. 01:05:00 Shamanic interface with plant wisdom, particularly for healing. 01:08:00 Reductionist materialist pushback is representative of the colonial history of abuse of nature. 01:11:00 Indigenous science and a new book in the making.

An overview of Prochlorococcus. An overview of marine bacteriophages. The Great Oxidation Event Cyanobacteria are thought to have radically changed our planet 2.5-3.5 billion years ago by producing oxygen through photosynthesis. In essence, they and other microbes are the original terraformers. The Purple Earth Hypothesis Photosynthesis as we know it, using chlorophyll, may have evolved after another way of doing photosynthesis, with retinal that looks purple. This means that our planets and other ‘younger' planets may look or have looked purple rather than green.

Although Spain may be associated with sunshine and hot weather, it's actually a country of significant regional and linguistic diversity. The region of Galicia, in the north-west corner of Spain actually has a temperate, wet climate, as well as its own officially recognised language. This is the region where Carmen grew up, in the moderately-sized city of Ferrol. She studied Marine Ecology at university, and after completing her studies in Spain, she had the oportunity to do some postgraduate research overseas, and that brought her to Launceston, Tasmania. 15 years on, she is still there, but now working in the role of sustainability officer at the University of Tasmania's northern campus.

Hey there, podcast listeners! Welcome to another episode of Flow Over Fear with your host, Adam Hill. In today's episode, we're diving into the exciting world of adventure and how it can be the antidote to anxiety. But hold on, we're not talking about your typical adventure. No, no! We're talking about the kind of adventure that Alby Mangels would embark on. If you're not familiar with Alby, I highly recommend Googling him and prepare to be inspired!  Adam takes us back to his high school days when he had the incredible opportunity to take an incredible Marine Ecology field study trip. This class wasn't just about studying marine life, it included a mind-blowing adventure in the Sea of Cortez in Baja, Mexico. Picture this - a group of high school kids camping, catching their own food, and learning about the abundant marine ecology in a remote location. It was a transformative experience that brought them together as a community, transcending the social cliques that existed in their high school. It was truly the adventure of a lifetime, one that Adam nearly didn't go on because of fear. But how does adventure become the antidote to anxiety? Adam explores three powerful reasons why embracing adventure can help us overcome our fears. First, it allows us to join communities with a common purpose, creating a sense of belonging and support. Second, it pushes us out of our comfort zones, helping us grow and expand our horizons. And finally, it provides a point of reference for things that we can achieve in the future. Truly, adventure reminds us that life is meant to be experienced, not just observed from the sidelines. So, get ready to be inspired as Adam shares his personal journey of conquering fears, stepping outside his comfort zone, and discovering the immense joy and purpose that comes from embracing adventure. It's time to break free from anxiety and flow over fear! 00:02:15 High school course includes Mexico camping trip. 00:04:37 Experiencing growth through unexpected adventure and anxiety. 00:08:11 Adventure is the antidote to anxiety. 00:10:57 Adventure unites communities and expands comfort zones. 00:15:01 Adventure: antidote to anxiety, resentment & self-doubt. 00:18:07 Adventure list: face fears, challenge, grow.

In Part IV of this podcast, I described how sea ice forms and traps marine algae that can grow in the ice before it's released back into the ocean when the ice melts. This process drives marine productivity in Antarctica starting with krill, a small crustacean that is a keystone species there. In this episode, the life cycle of krill is described and why it is so important in the marine food web. The rich diversity of benthic invertebrates also is presented and the current threat to this community by the invasion of king crabs from South America. A unique group of ice fish also is described and how these species evolved in isolation in Antarctica in waters at less than 5 degrees C. These fish can withstand freezing temperatures and some absorb oxygen from the water directly through their skin.

This polka-dotted piscine anomaly is the only fish known to science capable of whole-body endothermy. Dr. Nick Wegner from our sister agency NOAA Fisheries joins us to discover the secrets of the amazing opah.

What can shells tells us about marine paleoclimate? Shells and molluscs store a wealth of paleoclimate information. Molluscs build their shells with calcium carbonate from the sea water. Their shells record the sea water chemistry, which lets us decipher the changes that occurred in their environment. Paleoclimate scientist Devapriya Chattopadhyay studies mollusc fossils which help reconstruct the marine paleoenvironment. Her findings revealed that even periods of slight warming affected mollusc diversity in an area considered to be less affected by changes in the climate. In the context of present-day climate change, this paleoclimate research is considered to be very useful in bridging some knowledge gaps. In this episode of Imprints, Chattopadhyay talks about her fossil-hunting adventures, interesting discoveries and the people she encounters on the field. She also speaks about how infrastructure development could erase records of natural history and the challenge that India faces in setting up a museum for natural history.

Welcome to the second episode of The Ocean Embassy. Today I am interviewing someone super cool. Melissa Cristina Marquez is a wildlife scientist, science communicator, author, TV presenter and a lot more. We talk about her research on ocean predators' habitat development, the way in which she relies on marine technology in this work and why science communication and social media is vital for her future work. We also address the systemic issues Melissa has faced throughout her career such as sexism. Melissa has a Puerto Rican-Mexican background and holds a Bachelor degree in Marine Ecology and Conservation from the New College of Florida. Her Masters degree took her to the other side of the globe: she studied Marine Biology at the Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, and then moved to Perth, Australia to start her PhD research at Curtin University. Her research focuses on understanding what oceanographic processes influence the composition, distribution, and habitat use of Chondrichthyans in the Western Indian Ocean as well as local people's perceptions about sharks. She is a member of the board for Women in Ocean Science, coordinates the Mentorship program at Minorities in Shark Sciences, regularly writes for Forbes and advises organizations on their science strategies. I wanted to interview Melissa because she is a pro at communicating science and research about the wildlife in our oceans that gets very little talked about in public. It amazes me how important also research such as hers is in order to place small details of one animal's habitat into broader context of climate change. Cover art: Simon + Anna Madlener.

Peace! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5E6WCP8KAS4NG This new series of episodes on Cosmic Dancer podcast channel, aims to disseminate the theoretical teachings of Vedanta philosophy, (dating back nearly 3,000 years), through the practical experiences of daily life. This is through the involvement of guests from the world of music, art, literature, science, etc... Vedanta, Bhagavad Gita and Marine Ecology. Focus on the sanskrit term Viśvatomukham (all-pervading nature of God), and the wonderful biodiversity of the sea. Guests: Jayashankar Krishnamurthy (Vedanta teacher) and Renée Carlton (Marine Ecologist). "Viśvatomukham means ‘with faces on all sides'. A poetic expression used in the śāstras (scripture) to indicate the all-pervading nature of God. Anything all-pervading, like space, cannot have a form." "He who recognises the supreme Self in the manifold beings is endowed with Jñānacakṣu, Eye of Wisdom. With this divine eye he perceives the Supreme." (Bhagavad Gita - Swami Parthasarathy) A senior disciple of Swami Parthasarathy, Jayashankar Krishnamurthy is a graduate of science from the University of Madras and a post graduate in Packaging Technology from Mumbai. He had a distinguished corporate career. Seeking answers to questions pertaining to life and living he sought the guidance of his guru and spent four years full-time in Vedanta Academy. For over a decade he has been researching and propagating the knowledge of Vedanta, in Andhra Pradesh, through Swamiji's publications. He is the Executive Trustee of Vedanta Institute Hyderabad, a Charitable Trust registered in Telangana (Formerly Andhra Pradesh). https://www.vedantahyderabad.org/ Renée Carlton joined the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation team as a Marine Ecologist in May, 2016. Her role in the foundation includes writing up the final reports for the countries visited on the Global Reef Expedition and assisting with publication preparation of the data collected. Renée's master's research focused on the ability of seagrass beds to modify seawater chemistry to create more optimal conditions for corals to grow and possibly act as a refuge for corals in the face of climate change and increased ocean acidification. The foundation provides science-based solutions to protect and restore ocean health. https://www.livingoceansfoundation.org/ - Join my Facebook Group Meditation Mindfulness Yoga Mantra www.facebook.com/groups/642191676459430 - Here my short stories about Kindness (I giorni della gentilezza- Paperback - Italian version)- tinyurl.com/3vfud2c9 - Here my book Learn Māori Culture and Proverbs (paperback) tinyurl.com/6zmvz9tt - Version with Full Color Images - www.amazon.com/Learn-M%C4%81ori-…1621334435&sr=8-3 - Poster Maramataka: tinyurl.com/pht4easb - Here my book dedicated to Lo-Fi Music (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/r2d69dyb - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here my book with illustrated philosophical short stories (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/rpcd5c - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here my book Black Book Note www.amazon.com/BLACK-BOOK-NOTE-i…32&s=books&sr=1-1 - Here my journal dedicated to the great italian poet Dante Alighieri tinyurl.com/42rt7jjh. - E-book and Video on www.lofimusic.it. - Here my fashion brand dedicated to Spirituality, www.mantratshirt.it.

Pathogens easily grow on plastics, and plastics travel far and wide in the ocean. That has marine biologists like Joleah Lamb looking for solutions. This podcast dives deep into the complex world of aquatic ecology and biodiversity and how our actions impact it. Listen and learn What startling statistics exist about changes in marine aquatic ecosystems and the environment and ecology, How scientists are exploring this ecosystem and sampling water in bivalves and around seagrasses with interesting findings, and What possible mitigation factors might help these ecology and evolutionary biology impact factors. Joleah Lamb is an assistant professor in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology School of Biological Sciences with the University of California, Irvine. She runs their Oceans and Human Health Laboratory, which focuses on solutions in a research-driven program at the interface of public health and ecosystem function. She gives listeners a wakeup call: the global population is expected to surpass 9.7 billion people by 2050, and more than half will live within 80 kilometers of a coastline. We know about the ocean's impact on humans, but most also consider the reverse. From microorganism on coral reefs to biofilms that might be introduced through tiny pieces of plastic in the ocean, scientists like Dr. Lamb are thinking carefully about how these systems may clash. Only two years ago, she says that scientists didn't even have a number about the amount of plastics going in and settling on sea floor and corals. Through careful surveys, they have found that corals with plastics touching them had a 20 fold increase of contracting a disease. This was the first study to show that plastics that were in contact with animals could cause a disease outbreak. She also shares some remarkable findings about sea grasses and environmental microbiology. Seagrasses are the rainforest of the marine environment and capture even more carbon than trees. They've found that seagrasses can actually kill human pathogens, and areas with seagrasses show a healthier water column. Listen in for more ways scientists like Joleah Lamb are working for a better ecology. For more about her work, see her lab's website: oceanhealth.bio. Available on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/2Os0myK

Mark E. Hay is Co-Director & Regents Professor, OSE & Harry and Linda Teasley Chair at Georgia Tech's School of Biological Sciences, and specializes in marine ecosystems, marine ecology, coral reefs, and marine conservation. He joins the show to discuss his work and insight on these topics, especially as it relates to coral reef conservation. Press play to discover: To what degree coral life cover has changed over the last 40-50 years in different areas, and the consequences of these changes How the loss of coral reefs can threaten food security for some villagers living in coastal regions How corals sense and behave in response to chemical cues in order to settle in areas where they are most likely to live Coral reefs are not only of the most diverse ecosystems in the ocean, but on earth itself. However, the presence and health of corals has changed dramatically in recent decades. Since Hay began studying coral reefs in the Caribbean during the mid-70s, about 80 to 90 percent of those corals have died. Up until this point, most of the management efforts to conserve coral reefs have been herculean and have failed to produce the intended outcomes. With this is mind, Hay is focused on how small changes can cause large, positive effects on marine ecology. In part, this involves trying to better understand the chemical signaling that contributes to coral reef health or lack thereof.   Off the coast of Fiji, Hay's work revealed that almost all juvenile fishes and most coral babies can smell and are attracted to marine-protected areas; they can also smell and are repelled by overfished areas. Additionally, corals smell nearby organisms that are similar to them, as well as the type of seaweed that commonly grows on damaged reefs. Depending on what they sense, they will either move toward or away from an area. This sheds light on how corals have evolved to be extremely selective about where they settle—after all, it's a decision that can't be undone. It also sheds light on how we might be able to enhance the probability of juvenile fish returning to certain areas and growing into populations that will keep the reef healthy. In turn, this could lead to greater overall health of ocean life and marine ecosystems. Hay explains the difference between coral reef recovery in the Caribbean after coral bleaching, and coral reef recovery in the Pacific Ocean after coral bleaching. Hay is investigating why it is that some coral reefs recover well, while others don't seem to recover much at all. This question is becoming increasingly pressing, since major bleaching events are occurring more and more frequently. Tune in to learn about all of this and more, including some of the innovative ways people are trying to counter the negative impacts on marine ecosystems.    Available on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/2Os0myK

Killer whales: highly intelligent, social and elusive. Surely this is the perfect challenge for a marine scientist? Especially when killer whales spend a mere 2% of their lives on the surface of the ocean! Tune in this week as we chat killer whales with Ben Sellers, PhD researcher from the Institute for Marine & Antarctic Science at the University of Tasmania. Ben is a passionate researcher & science communicator, and this week we delve into their complex lives, covering ecology, chemistry & conservation. Citizen science also plays a key role in Ben's research, with the not-for-profit group Killer Whales Australia a great way to report sightings of killer whales for research efforts. Join us this week for fresh perspective on these stunning marine mammals. Ben's research is funded by Holsworth Wildlife Research Endowment with Wild Ocean Tasmania, Killer Whales Australia and CETREC (Cetacean Research) as major collaborators.Special Guest: Ben Sellers (IMAS, UTAS)

Nick and Caroline Robertson-Brown talk about their book, 'Wild Dives', taking you through more than 20 of their most memorable diving experiences, including seeing amazing sharks in The Bahamas, exploring caves in Mexico, traveling to remote parts of the Pacific Ocean to find Giant Manta Rays, and even looking at some of the weird and wonderful critters that are almost invisible to the naked eye.Nick and Caroline also speak with Warren Moore about their concerns over the growing impact of human activity on the marine environment.

Maggi Brisbin is a marine ecologist specializing in plankton, their community dynamics, and how they influence nutrient cycles. Her current focus is a marine algae called Phaeocystis, which lives freely, forms colonies, and also lives as a symbiont inside another marine organism. In this episode we explore the different lifestyles adopted by Phaeocystis, and its role in regulating processes associated with climate change. We also have a broader discussion on success in biology, including the potential manipulation of humans by wheat (yes, you read that correctly!). Finally, we talk about some of Maggi’s recent ocean activism efforts here in Japan. To catch up with Maggi about all things ocean related, including her #TinyPrettyTuesday photo sharing session, you can find her on Twitter @MargaretBrisbin. Enjoy!

Rates of infectious disease outbreaks are on the rise in our oceans. Fueled by sewage dumping, unregulated aquaculture, and drifting plastic in warming seas, ocean outbreaks are heralds of impending global environmental disaster. Renowned scientist Drew Harvell took the stage with a daunting and urgent report of the rising risks of marine epidemics in Ocean Outbreak: Confronting the Rising Tide of Marine Disease. She underscored these diseases’ destructive potential to cause a mass die-off of wildlife from the bottom to the top of the food chain, impacting the health of ocean ecosystems as well as lives on land. Harvell shared twenty years of research and investigation of four iconic marine animals—corals, abalone, salmon, and starfish—demonstrating how these animals have been devastated by disease—and how they still have the potential to be saved. Join Harvell to learn how, through policy changes and the implementation of innovative solutions from nature, we can reduce major outbreaks, save some ocean ecosystems, and protect our fragile environment. Drew Harvell is Professor of Marine Ecology at Cornell University. She has published over 170 scientific articles in leading journals and is a fellow of the Ecological Society of America and the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future. Her book A Sea of Glass received a National Outdoor Book Award and was recognized as one of the Smithsonian’s Best “Art Meets Science” Books of 2016. Recorded live in The Forum at Town Hall Seattle on June 15, 2019.

The BC salmon aquaculture industry has been one of the most criticized in the province. Nevertheless , the industry continues to expand and both the provincial and federal government continue to promote it. The opposition is led by The Coastal Alliance for Aquaculture Reform (CAAR) - a 9-member organization composed of First Nations groups, the fishing community and the conservation community. Key topics to discuss - The recent "Framework for Dialogue" that has been initiated between CAAR and Marine Harvest Canada - one of the three major players in the industry. A recent report was also released accusing the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans of using an ineffective system to measure the health effects of sea-lice on juvenile wild salmon. Guests Alexandra Morton - Raincoast Research. Co-author of Stain Upon the Sea - West Coast Salmon Farming. Originally from Conneticut, Alexandra moved to BC in 1980. After the arrival of salmon farms around her home in the Broughton Archipelago, her research focus shifted in the early 90s from killer whales to salmon. Jay Ritchlin - Marine Campaign Strategist, David Suzuki Foundation - Vancouver. He has been involved in Environmental Science and Advocacy for 15 years. Corey Peet - graduate student in Marine Ecology at the University of Victoria who is finishing up his research on the interactions between sea lice and young pink + chum salmon. He has recently joined the Raincoast Conservation Society as a science advisor for their Salmon Aquaculture campaign. Catherine Stewart - Chairperson, Living Oceans Society - a non-profit research and public education organization that promotes the need for a healthy ocean and healthy communities on Canada's Pacific Coast. Catherine has been involved in the environmental movement for 20 years, and for 17 of those years Catherine has also been involved with Greenpeace Canada. Clare Backman - Spokesperson, Marine Harvest Canada. Marine Harvest is the largest producer of farmed salmon in the world.
