Podcasts about nudibranchs

We're talking about Nudibranchs you dirty minded listeners! In recognition of Testicular cancer awareness month, we've joined our sole corporate sponsor, Manscaped, in their efforts to raise awareness of Testicular cancer as well as Nudibranchs. What does this have to do with Dave Shaw's depth record story? Maybe nothing... maybe everything! But you won't find out unless you listen to Part IV of our deep dive into the Dave Shaw story!

Thanks to Sam for suggesting this week's topic, the sea bunny! My plush sea bunny, with one of my cats, Dracula, who does not like it: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to revisit an animal we haven't talked about in a few years! Thanks to Sam for suggesting it, and for sending a whole list of questions after listening to episode 215. Episode 215 was about the cutest invertebrates, and we talked about a lot of them. This week it's all about the sea bunny. Before we answer Sam's questions, let's go over what we learned in episode 215, in case you haven't listened to it since it came out in March of 2021. The sea bunny, or sea rabbit, is a type of nudribranch [noodi-bronk] that lives along the coastline of the Indo-Pacific Ocean, especially in tropical waters. Nudibranchs are a type of mollusk that are sometimes called sea slugs. Many are brightly colored with beautiful patterns. Compared to some sea slugs, the sea bunny is a little on the plain side. It's usually orange or yellow, sometimes white or even green, with tiny brown or black speckles. It looks fuzzy because it's covered in little protuberances that it uses to sense the world around it, as well as longer, thinner fibers called spicules. It also has two larger black-tipped protuberances that look for all the world like little bunny ears, although they're actually chemoreceptors called rhinophores. It has a flower-shaped structure on its rear end that looks kind of like a bunny tail, but it's actually gills. It really is amazing how much the sea bunny actually resembles a little white bunny with dark speckles. Like other nudibranchs, the sea bunny is a hermaphrodite, which means it produces both eggs and sperm, although it can't fertilize its own eggs. When it finds a potential mate, they both perform a little courtship dance to decide if they like each other. After mating, both lay strings of eggs in a spiral pattern. The eggs hatch into larvae that are free-swimming, although the adults crawl along the ocean floor looking for food. Some nudibranch larvae have small coiled shells like snails, which they shed when they metamorphose into an adult, but the sea bunny hatches into a teeny-tiny miniature sea bunny. One of Sam's questions was what the sea bunny eats. It mainly eats sea sponges. The toxins present in many sponges don't bother the sea bunny. Instead, the sea bunny absorbs the sponge's toxins and keeps them in its body. I don't usually bother with Reddit posts while researching episodes, but I saw one where people were discussing how toxic the sea bunny is. Someone pointed out that small as they are, it's not a good idea to pick up a sea bunny because they are so toxic, and someone replied, “That's good for them, because I'm going to assume they taste like Marshmallows.” That brings us to Sam's next question, does anything eat the sea bunny? That's mainly a no, because they are so incredibly toxic. An animal the size of a big shark or something like that probably wouldn't be affected by the sea bunny's toxins, but it also wouldn't bother with such a tiny snack. A fish or other animal small enough for the sea bunny to seem like a meal probably wouldn't survive its toxins. Sam also wants to know if the sea bunny travels in groups, and that doesn't seem to be the case. It's a mostly solitary animal most of the time. If it did gather in a group, say if a bunch of sea bunnies were munching on the same sponge at the same time, maybe we could call it a fluffle of sea bunnies, or a school of sea bunnies. Sam also wants a better idea of how small the sea bunny is. It's easy enough to say, oh, it's a little less than an inch, or around 2 ½ cm, but most of us have a hard time picturing that. So here's a comparison that will help you visualize it. If you have an ordinary paperclip, not one of the jumbo ones, it's usually around 2.5 cm long,

Dr. Ángel Valdés has known since childhood that he would study sea slugs, and several years ago that dream took him to New Caledonia to work with a large international research team. While divers and other collectors swept the shoreline and beyond for marine life, Ángel diligently photographed every sea slug, including some unexpected finds. Were those hours worth it? Definitely, in part because he and his team have described seven new species of Nudibranchs, in the family Discodorididae.  Nudibranchs, also known as sea slugs, are found all over the world. But what's so special about these “cryptic” New Caledonian species, and what might they have to do with curing rare diseases? Learn all of this and more on this episode of New Species Podcast.  Ángel Valdés' paper “Seven new “cryptic” species of Discodorididae (Mollusca, Gastropoda, Nudibranchia) from New Caledonia” is in the March 7th issue of Zookeys. It can be found here: https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1152.98258 New Species: Atagema kimberlyae, Atagema sobanovae, Jorunna daoulasi, Jorunna hervei, Rostanga poddubetskaiae, Sclerodoris faninozi, Sclerodoris dutertrei Episode image courtesy of Ángel Valdés Visit Ángel's website: https://www.cpp.edu/faculty/aavaldes/index.shtml A transcript of this episode can be found here: Ángel Valdés - Transcript Check out our website: www.newspeciespodcast.net Be sure to follow New Species on Twitter (@PodcastSpecies) and like the podcast page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/NewSpeciesPodcast) Music in this podcast is "No More (Instrumental)," by HaTom (https://fanlink.to/HaTom) If you have questions or feedback about this podcast, please e-mail us at NewSpeciesPodcast@gmail.com If you would like to support this podcast, please consider doing so at https://www.patreon.com/NewSpeciesPod

Outdoor environmental educator Amy Osborne joins us on the show today. Starting her career as a rowing coach, Amy discovered her passion for teaching- and particularly teaching the outdoors- a little bit later in life. This led her to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, Wyoming, and California. It also gave her the opportunity with PolarTrec to conduct research at McMurdo Research Station in Antarctica, something we chat about quite a bit today. Amy shares what life on the ice is like, how this opportunity came about, and the importance of connecting with your place.Show notes : marinebio.life/87Photo credits : Amy Osborne pulls up the plankton tow net from a hole in the ice inside the Jetty Hut.

Dr Nerida Wilson spends a lot of her time getting acquainted with the mysterious creatures lurking in the dark depths of the sea

We're wrapping up Tiny Critter Week with a reprise of one of our favorite episodes — nudibranchs. In this episode, Maddie and Emily got super nerdy, diving into the incredible world of nudibranchs. These sea slugs eye-catching for their colors, and some of them have evolved to "steal" abilities from other organisms — from the power of photosynthesis to the stinging cells of their venomous predators.We'd love to hear which tiny critters you love — and which leave you puzzled.

Lean over the edge of the dock, and peer beneath. What creatures have made their home here, on the artificial structures of the waters edge? Among the limpets and barnacles, a creature is gliding along, and it is this dazzling animal we've come to see. Tom chats with Luan Roberts about nudibranchs, and learns all about their lives, as well as about the broader world of dock fouling (rock pooling, but punk). Luan offers advice and guidance to those of us that find the process of engaging with the natural world challenging, as Tom shares the self-doubt and frustration he feels in facing the wild.

Welcome to the Nudibranquet. The Countess really goes all out in her attempt to seduce Captain Walker: Ritz crackers with CheezWiz, synchronized swimmers, Dolores the Nudibranch Girl, inexplicable ping-pong balls, an original aria composed for the occasion… it's an evening no one in Swans Crossing will soon forget.

In this episode, returning guest Katie Moffitt of Moffitt's Mermaids teaches us all about nudibranchs! These incredible flamboyant little sea slugs have a brain, some eat jellyfish, and are hermaphroditic! These beautiful little creatures definitely do not fit into a box- and we absolutely adore them! We also shout out to one of our favorite jewelers, and an amazing local Hawaiian clothing company!

Elaine Brett is a dive professional, the resident manager and co-owner of one of the oldest and most successful dive centres on Koh Tao, Thailand. The northernmost of 3 islands in the Gulf, Koh Tao has attracted many tourists wishing to dive and obtain their certifications (with the added chance of seeing a Whaleshark).  At times Koh Tao has been frowned upon for how busy it can get however, this tiny island is without a doubt a fantastic location to visit and is currently having some major rest from activity.  Cue the aquatic life... I'm going to put it out there that post pandemic, Koh Tao should be on every divers wish list! During this episode I catch up with Elaine and hear about life on the island and the exploratory diving she is conducting alongside other long-standing local dive pro's.

The Islands of OZ - raw, moody, beautiful, dramatic and totally unique to Australia. Summersite is embarking on a lifestyle film and photo odyssey exploring our rare and magnificent Islands of OZ. Brinkley Davies explores the Great Barrier Reef in the Whitsundays Islands, Queensland featuring Billabong Womens Australia. "Flying into and over the Whitsundays is totally surreal. You can see almost all of the 74 islands that make up the Whitsunday archipelago, the water is so clear and you can see all these little hidden gems of beaches. Water baby and marine biologist Brinkley Davies joined us for our Summersite Whitsunday Odyssey to dive the Barrier Reef and explore these "hidden gems” throughout the Whitsundays. Over a few days we dived the Barrier Reef, took a seaplane out to Heart Reef and Whitehaven Beach and then jumped on our own catamaran to sail through and explore the islands. Brinkley loved it and it was so great to hear her knowledge on what marine habitat we were seeing at the Barrier Reef and in the water around the Islands. We scuba dived the wall along Hardy Reef and saw lots of marine life including a Green Sea Turtle, Hump head Wrasse, Angel fish, Giant Trevally, and a couple of sneak Nudibranchs. We also visited the reef pontoon where we free-dived and found a giant clam and some beautiful anemones - this was my favourite part of the reef that day." "The Sea Plane to Whitehaven Beach and Heart Reef might have been the coolest thing I have ever done . . . Seeing the Great Barrier Reef from this perspective is something that I wish everyone had the opportunity to do. Its so unique in its formation and the colour scheme that naturally glows everywhere you look is really indescribable."
