Summary: We know ants are farmers, but are they also ranchers? Join Kiersten to find out!   For my hearing impaired followers, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean   Show Notes:  “Adventures Among Ants” by Mark W. Moffett “Trophobiosis is a tropical rainforest on Borneo: Giant ants Camponotus gigs (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) herd wax cicadas Bythopsyrna circulate (Auchenorrhyncha: Flatidae),” by Martin Pfeiffer and Karl Eduard Linsenmair “Aphid-farming ants,” by Annie B. F. Ivens and Daniel J. C. Kronauer “Ecological consequences of interactions between ants and honeydew-producing insects,” by John D Styrsky and Micky D. Eubanks Music written and performed by Katherine Camp   Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops)   Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. Two episodes ago we found out that ants are farmers, at least some species of ants are farmers and they are amazingly well organized and productive farmers. The other side of sustained food production is ranching. Ranching is a form of agriculture focused on raising livestock for various uses. Are ants ranchers? Let's find out! The eighth thing I like about ants is their ranching activities. For those of you listening in order, last episode we learned about the Weaver ants of Africa that live in trees. They are some of the coolest ants out there with special physical adaptations  and behavioral adaptations that help them survive in the tree. One of the activities I didn't talk about, because I was saving it for this episode, is their ranching. The weaver ants, Oecophylla longinoda, use other insects as a form of food resources. Now they do hunt other insects and tear them apart and eat the bits, but they also corral certain insects and use the honeydew that those insects produce as food. Mealy bugs, plant hoppers, and scale insects are some of the “cattle” that Weaver ants utilize. These insects are all sap-sucking species that tap a plant for it's sap and drink it. The ants love the honeydew, or doo-doo, that comes out the other end of these insects. Yes, that's correct, the ants are eating their excrement which is actually more nutritious than nectar.  The Weaver ants are protective of their livestock keeping them from harm and moving them to fresher pastures, just like human cowboys. They often build leaf tents over and around their charges keeping them hidden from predators and controlling their movements so they can gather the honeydew for as long as the insect lives.  Who knew ants were ranchers? It's not only Weaver ants that exhibit this behavior.  Some species of Formica ants are also ranchers. They will tend similar insects as the Weavers including Mealy bugs, plant hoppers, scale insects as well as whiteflies and aphids. I found several papers talking about the relationship between Formica ants and aphids. They really treat these aphids like humans treat cattle. The ants tend them, watching them to protect them from predators, they will pick them up and remove them from a plant when danger arises (okay humans can't pick up cattle, but we can escort them to another area when needed), and when the part of the plant that the aphids are eating from begins to run dry the ants will take them to greener pastures. The ants are after the honeydew, of course, the excrement from the aphids, just like the Weaver ants. It is high in concentrated sugars and carbohydrates that keep the ants running.   Giant ants, Camponotus gigas, from the tropical forests of Borneo herd wax cicadas. They are incredibly well organized in their herding and perform three behaviors to help gather as much honeydew from these cicadas as possible. Some of the ants are collectors and spend about 80% of their time sitting below the cicadas to collect the honeydew as it comes out. Ants that spend their time collecting often focus on one cicada, returning to the same individual after each collection. There are also secondary gatherers that collect honeydew from the body parts of the primary collectors and receive honeydew via trophallaxis, or passing of regurgitated liquids to another insect. This allows the primary collectors to spend more time collecting directly from the cicadas. The secondary gatherers take the collected food back to the nest. A third worker might sometimes stand in front of the cicada and perform what the researchers called “antennating from ahead”. One or more ants will sit in front of the cicada or next to it and gently tap it with its antenna. At times this seems to encourage the cicadas to pass honeydew more frequently, but sometimes it didn't do anything, except possibly annoy the cicada. It's so interesting that these Giant ants of Borneo have adapted such specialized behaviors to collect excrement from another insect. It may seem like the ants may be controlling the aphids or cicadas and taking advantage of their production, which is not entirely false. Many ant colonies restrict the movement of their insects just like humans do with cattle, allowing them to go only where they want them to go, but its not always bad for the cattle. Aphids are not the most cleanly insects and they congregate in large groups, as any gardener listening to this episode will tell you. A group of aphids can suck a plant dry! Anyways, the ants retrieve the honeydew almost immediately once it is excreted. This is an advantage to the aphids, because it cuts down on fungus that can grow on the excrement and sicken the aphids. The ants are also protecting them from predators. Some ants remove Ladybugs, their larvae, and pupae from the plants that the aphids have chosen to feed upon. Ladybugs love a juicy aphid! Parasitic wasps that feed on aphids are also on the ants' radar. One of the questions that researchers have about this mutualistic relationship is whether it's obligate or facultative. Turns out it can be both. Facultative mutualism is a relationship where both parties benefit from each other's company but do not rely on each other. The previous discussion is an example of this. The Formica ants tending these aphids can walk away and find food elsewhere and the aphids can also go about their business without the ant ranchers. Obligate mutualism is when one or both parties is reliant on the other for survival. Some ants and aphids have evolved to rely on the other for survival. Some species of aphids and other insects have lost their ability to protect themselves without the help of ants. Some ants rely on the aphids and other sects to provide honeydew, they have lost the ability to go out and look for other food. Certain aphids live inside the ant colony and have lost the ability to grow wings and fly to find a mate. They just reproduce asexually throughout their entire lives and never the the ant colony at all. If these aphids left the ant nest, they would not survive. I guess we have proven that ants can be ranchers, as well as farmers. Thanks for joining me for this episode of ants as ranching is my eighth favorite thing about them. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.  Join me next week for another exciting episode about ants.        (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company. Original music written and performed by Katherine Camp, my very own piano playing hero.

Do competitive elections secure democracy, or might they undermine it by breeding popular disillusionment with liberal norms and procedures? The so-called Italian School of Elitism, comprising Vilfredo Pareto, Gaetano Mosca, and Robert Michels, voiced this very concern. They feared that defining democracy exclusively through representative practices creates unrealistic expectations of what elections can achieve, generating mass demoralization and disillusionment with popular government. The Italian School's concern has gone unheeded, even as their elite theory has been foundational for political science in the United States. Democratic Elitism: The Founding Myth of American Political Science (Harvard UP, 2025) argues that scholars have misinterpreted the Italians as conservative, antidemocratic figures who championed the equation of democracy with representative practices to restrain popular participation in politics. Natasha Piano contends not only that the Italian School's thought has been distorted but also that theorists have ignored its main objective: to contain demagogues and plutocrats who prey on the cynicism of the masses. We ought to view these thinkers not as elite theorists of democracy but as democratic theorists of elitism. The Italian School's original writings do not reject electoral politics; they emphasize the power and promise of democracy beyond the ballot. Elections undoubtedly are an essential component of functioning democracies, but in order to preserve their legitimacy we must understand their true capacities and limitations. It is past time to dispel the delusion that we need only elections to solve political crises, or else mass publics, dissatisfied with the status quo, will fall deeper into the arms of authoritarians who capture and pervert formal democratic institutions to serve their own ends. Natasha Piano is an Assistant Professor of Political Theory in the Department of Political Science at UCLA. She specializes in democratic theory and the history of political thought, focusing on the realist and empirical traditions in political science and Italian political theory Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Beyond the iron gates, past the dead gardens, the mansion waits—windows glowing like hungry eyes in the perpetual darkness.You were drawn here. Perhaps by curiosity. Perhaps by fate. Perhaps by something far more ancient and deliberate.A door creaks open.....Inside, opulence and horror dance together. Marble floors reflect candlelight. Velvet drapes hide secrets in their folds. And at a dining hall where the feast has lasted centuries.Piano keys strike a melancholy tuneThey sit in frozen elegance, the eternal guests. Some at the table, throats exposed and eyes glazed.Footsteps. Always footsteps.She appears from shadow as if born from it—the lord of this cursed estate. Ancient. Beautiful. Terrible. Behind her, others emerge, their movements synchronized, predatory, patient.'You've come such a long way,' she whispers, voice like silk over razors. 'Stay. Drink. Dance. Become.'The sound of teeth piercing flesh..In this mansion, transformation is inevitable.Will you rise from the table as one of them, immortal and insatiable? Or will you simply... feed their endless hunger?The violin swells. The dance continues. And you... you're already part of the performance.___________________________________Should your curiosity draw you through the night… I invite you to enter my channel.https://bit.ly/YoutubeVanillaparadiseSurvived the night and joined our table?

Beyond the iron gates, past the dead gardens, the mansion waits—windows glowing like hungry eyes in the perpetual darkness.You were drawn here. Perhaps by curiosity. Perhaps by fate. Perhaps by something far more ancient and deliberate.A door creaks open.....Inside, opulence and horror dance together. Marble floors reflect candlelight. Velvet drapes hide secrets in their folds. And at a dining hall where the feast has lasted centuries.Piano keys strike a melancholy tuneThey sit in frozen elegance, the eternal guests. Some at the table, throats exposed and eyes glazed.Footsteps. Always footsteps.She appears from shadow as if born from it—the lord of this cursed estate. Ancient. Beautiful. Terrible. Behind her, others emerge, their movements synchronized, predatory, patient.'You've come such a long way,' she whispers, voice like silk over razors. 'Stay. Drink. Dance. Become.'The sound of teeth piercing flesh..In this mansion, transformation is inevitable.Will you rise from the table as one of them, immortal and insatiable? Or will you simply... feed their endless hunger?The violin swells. The dance continues. And you... you're already part of the performance.___________________________________Should your curiosity draw you through the night… I invite you to enter my channel.https://bit.ly/YoutubeVanillaparadiseSurvived the night and joined our table?

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen chapter 7 , narrated by Isaac BirchallSubscribe on YT or Join the Book Club on Patreon and support me as an independent creator :Dhttps://ko-fi.com/theessentialreadshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOFfvo05ElM96CmfsGsu3g/joinSummary:Barton house is not too far from the cottage, and the Ladies head there to be properly welcomed to the area by their new Landlord and Lady. The Middleton's always seem to have company and almost seem to need the company of others. Sir Middleton, hunts, and the Lady takes care of, and spoils their children. Sir Middleton, in the summer, always gets the local boys together to eat and hunt, and in the Winter, holds balls for all of the local ladies. When the ladies arrive, Sir Middleton welcomes them and takes them to the living room. They meet an old friend of Lord Middleton's, Colonel Brandon, and Mrs. Jennings, Lady Middleton's mother. The colonel is on the wrong side of 35, but his is sensible and gentlemanly. Once they get on the topic of Music, Marianne is invited to play Piano, and she charms everyone with her abilities. SEO stuff I don't want to do. Jane Austin's timeless classic Sense and Sensibility follows the story of two girls, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, and their endeavors in love, marriage, and societal expectations. Love is not easy however, and Elinor finds her sense tested by her charming brother-in-law, while Marianne's sensibility brings her nothing but heartbreak.

Días después de la dana de Valencia, en mitad del puente de la solidaridad apareció un piano cubierto de fango, con un cartel que rezaba “tócame”. Cuando se cumple un año de la catástrofe, descubrimos la historia de ese piano a través de Sedajazz, la escuela de jazz que consiguió salvarse gracias al colaboracionismo y la red de la Horta Sur.

Hommage to the monarch of instruments. Warm keys, deep beats, and a touch of nostalgia to places you've never actually been. Tracklist coming soon...

Classical trumpeter Mary Elizabeth Bowden joins Rick and Ron in another episode of the Feeding the Starving Artist podcat. Mary Elizabeth is a highly in-demand soloist, praised for her “splendid, brilliant” playing (Gramophone Magazine) and her “pure, refined, and warm” tone (American Record Guide). A Gold Medal Global Music Award Winner, Opus Klassik Nominee, and Yamaha Performing Artist, Bowden works diligently to establish a new repertoire for the trumpet through creative, collaborative commissioning projects and award-winning albums.Highlights of Bowden's recent seasons include her debut with the Santa Fe Symphony, as well as prominent engagements with major international ensembles. During the 2022/2023 season, she performed as a soloist with the Busan Maru International Music Festival Orchestra in Korea and toured five cities in Argentina, performing Assad's Bohemian Queen with the Shenandoah Conservatory Orchestra. She served as faculty at the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival in summer 2022. Other recent performances include four world premiere concertos. Highlights include her debut with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, where she performs a program including Clarice Assad's Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra and Shostakovich's Concerto in C minor for Piano, Trumpet, and String Orchestra with pianist Henry Kramer. In another key debut, Bowden appears as a soloist with the Austin Symphony Orchestra, performing Reena Esmail's Rosa de Sal and Assad's Bohemian Queen. With the DuPage Symphony, she premieres a new arrangement of Gala Flagello's Persist, newly arranged for two trumpets, and performs as soloist on Grace Williams' Trumpet Concerto. She debuts with Oregon's Rogue Valley Symphony in Henri Tomasi's Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra before touring the Fung and Assad concertos to the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra, Akron Symphony Orchestra, Lexington Philharmonic, and Wichita Falls Symphony Orchestra.Bowden holds residencies and masterclasses at Oberlin College, Swarthmore College, the University of Michigan, Rogue Valley Symphony Orchestra, Central Michigan University, Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, Haverford College, Grand Valley State University and the Fine Arts Center of Greenville, SC. International engagements bring Bowden to the Isla Verde Bronces International Brass Festival in Argentina, Festival de Metales del Pacifico in Mexico, and Lieksa Brass Week in Finland. Bowden's Chrysalis Chamber Players embark on a U.S. tour of trumpet and string quartet repertoire, presented by Live On Stage, and with Seraph Brass, Bowden is recording an album of new compositions for brass quintet for Tower Grove Records.
