On this episode of A Table in the Corner, Russel sits down with Odette Olivier, head chef of the Harrington Street tasting-menu restaurant Belly of the Beast.Odette talks about how she found her way into professional kitchens, from an early instinct to cook through culinary school and the formative years that followed in hotels and lodge kitchens. She also reflects on the influence of the late chef Ian Bergh of De Grendel Restaurant, whose mentorship helped shape her approach to cooking and to running a kitchen.The conversation then turns to life inside Belly of the Beast, where a frequently changing set menu and an open kitchen create a particular rhythm to service. Odette describes the challenge of cooking a tightly choreographed tasting menu night after night, and how the small team keeps the kitchen calm and focused while working through multiple courses for every table.Russel and Odette also discuss the realities of running a small restaurant in Cape Town today, including the growing problem of no-shows and how they affect independent restaurants operating with limited seats.Finally, Odette shares a glimpse of what's coming next for the Harrington Street group, which currently includes Belly of the Beast, Galjoen and Seebamboes. Two new restaurants, No Show and Quagga, are set to open in the next season, expanding the group's presence in the East City Precinct.www.rwm2012.comOn Instagram @a_table_inthecornerCover image sketched by Courtney Cara LawsonAll profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise creditedTitle music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay

Send a textA fingernail‑sized invader is transforming Swiss lakes and the cost of clean water. In this episode, we track the quagga mussel from its arrival in the Rhine to its rapid spread through deep Swiss basins—stripping plankton, stressing fisheries, and clogging water infrastructure. Researchers from Eawag and the University of Konstanz explain the biology behind its takeover and what global case studies reveal about long‑term impacts. read more on this story on Quagga mussels  and science from SWI swissinfoJournalist: Julie HuntHost: Jo FahyAudio editor/video journalist: Michele AndinaDistribution and Marketing: Xin Zhang SWI swissinfo.ch is a public service media company based in Bern, Switzerland.

On a recent trip to Lake Geneva in Switzerland, biodiversity reporter Phoebe Weston witnessed the impact of one of the planet's most potent invasive species, the quagga mussel. In just a decade the mollusc, originally from the Ponto-Caspian region of the Black Sea, has caused irreversible change beneath the surface of the picturesque lake. While ecologists believe invasive species play a major role in more than 60% of plant and animal extinctions, stopping them in their tracks is almost impossible. Phoebe tells Madeleine Finlay how invasive species spread, how conservationists are trying combat them and why some think a radical new approach is needed..

"A todos nos encantan las representaciones de animales actuales y prehistóricos. Nos quedamos embelesados mirando dinosaurios a tamaño real y en sus tres dimensiones. Sin embargo, esas esculturas no aparecen de la nada y, si son tan buenas (algunas) es porque hay expertos que se encargan de infundir “vida” en los materiales.Para hablar de ello tenemos con nosotros a Ramón López, que es graduado en Biología y escultor científico, especializado en la realización de reproducciones zoológicas y paleontológicas. Es fundador y director de Quagga, una empresa desde la que ha realizado trabajos para museos, zoológicos y acuarios nacionales e internacionales, basando su labor en el rigor anatómico y científico."Un podcast de Diario La Razón, dirigido y presentado por Ignacio Crespo y producido por https://lafabricadepodcast.com

Die Quagga-Muschel stammt aus dem Schwarzmeerraum, macht sich aber auch in Deutschland breit. Im Chiemsee zum Beispiel entzieht sie dem Wasser wichtige Nährstoffe. Wie lassen sich diese invasiven Arten stoppen? Die Möglichkeiten sind begrenzt. Thiele, Marlene www.deutschlandfunk.de, Hintergrund

The Idaho Department of Agriculture treated the invasive species Quagga muscles in the fall of 2023 and 2024. Now they're back once again.

In 2023 an infestation of quagga mussels was found in the Snake River near Twin Falls.

ISDA confirmed a detection of quagga mussels in the infested area of the Snake River.

Le 25 mai, c'est la journée internationale de l'Afrique. BSG rediffuse à cette occasion cet épisode de NOMEN, l'un des 4 petits frères de Baleine sous Gravillon. Il existe 3 espèces de zèbres, que vous saurez distinguer à la fin de l'épisode :le Zèbre des plaines (de Burchell) : 25 à 30 rayures, le plus abondant, le moins rayé.le Zèbre des montagnes (vrai, daw) : 43 rayures, le mâle a une grosse pomme d'Adam (sillon gulaire) in the middle ;), en voie d'extinction.le Zèbre de Grévy : 80 rayures, en voie d'extinction, plus proche de l'âne.Tous les trois appartiennent au genre Equus. Le Zèbre des plaines et le Zèbre des montagnes appartiennent au sous-genre Hippotigris. Ils ressemblent au cheval.Mais le Zèbre de Grévy est la seule espèce du sous-genre Dolichohippus. Ce dernier ressemble davantage à un âne, auquel les zèbres sont étroitement apparentés génétiquement.  Le Zèbre de Grévy et le Zèbre des montagnes sont en danger d'extinction. Les zèbres des plaines sont beaucoup plus abondants, mais une sous-espèce, le Quagga, rayé sur une seule moitié du corps, a disparu à la fin du 19e siècle. En 2016, on dénombrait, dans toute l'Afrique, moins de 800 000 zèbres. Une légende africaine demande si le Zèbre est blanc à rayures noires ou noir à rayures blanches. Cette question a généré de nombreuses légendes ou réponses fantaisistes, mais des explications plus scientifiques existent. Les premières populations de zèbres étaient de couleur gris-ardoise. Les zèbres étaient originellement des animaux pigmentés de noir. Les raies blanches se forment par inhibition de la production de mélanine. Les fœtus sont en effet tout noirs. Les rayures faciliteraient le camouflage vis-à-vis de la mouche tsé-tsé ou des grands prédateurs. De nombreuses théories sont proposées mais aucune n'est validée. Les autres hypothèses sur la fonction des zébrures concernent :Le camouflage (casse la silhouette)L'évasion face aux prédateurs (effet stromboscopique ou "dazzle"). La thermorégulation (l'aternance noir et blanc crée des microtubulences qui rafraîchissent le Zèbre sous le cagnard africainLes interactions sociales (se reconnaître avec un système de code-barres).Le petit du Zèbre s'appelle le zébreau et la femelle du zèbre s'appelle la zébrelle. On rencontre aussi le terme zébresse ou zébrette. Le zèbre hennit comme le cheval, mais le Zèbre de Grévy brait comme l'âne, on dit aussi qu'il jappe.Quelques proverbes sublimes pour finir : « La pluie mouille le zèbre mais n'efface pas ses rayures » (massaï, Kenya)« Un homme sans tradition est comme un zèbre sans rayure » (Afrique)« L'ombre du zèbre n'a pas de rayures » (René Char, poète français)_______

SNWA researchers have been at the forefront of emerging water issues for the past 25 years, and their discoveries have helped protect Southern Nevada's drinking water supply. SNWA scientists have helped stop quagga mussel infestations from blocking water intake pipes and helped implement ozonation to the water treatment process. Eric Wert, Water Quality Research & Development Manager, talks about the emerging issues the lab currently is tracking and what might be the next generation of water treatment on this episode of the Water Smarts Podcast. Hosts: Bronson Mack and Crystal Zuelkehttps://www.snwa.com/ https://www.snwa.com/

Hey liebe Scrabble Fans! Anfang Mai findet die deutsche Scrabblemeisterschaft in Minden statt und wir vom tierisch!-Podcast verhelfen euch zu einem triumphalen Gewinn. Hier gibt es die Namen von Tierarten, die euch ganz weit nach vorn bringen. Quastenflosser auf den dreifachen Wortwert!!! Als Oase in der Servicewüste Deutschland, liefern wir neben tollen Wörtern sogar deren Buchstabenzahl! Letzteres zugegebenerweise auch, weil wir uns da erstmal falsch vorbereitet hatten: Wir haben nur die längsten crazy Artnamen wie zum Beispiel Gleichzahnohrenspitzmausmaulwurf oder auch Kaiserschnurrbarttamarin herausgesucht. Spannende Tiere, ihre Namen passen aber – irgendwie auch logisch – gar nicht auf das Scrabblebrett! Also haben wir zurück gerudert zu Yucatanspecht, Quagga und Quetzal. Übrigens auch tolle Wörter für Stadt, Land, Fluss. Nun wünschen wir unseren Scrabble Freunden in Minden viel Erfolg!

Threats from the invasive Quagga mussel species are growing in deeper parts of the Great Lakes, just as zebra mussels have altered ecosystems in shallower water closer to shore. Quagga mussels compete for food with a number of young fish species, putting commercial and recreational fishing at risk, and also threaten historic wrecks. A look at how widespread the problem is, and efforts to control the invasive species, with the team behind documentary All Too Clear. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Idaho State Department of Agriculture returned to Twin Falls this October to continue treating the Snake River after detecting quagga mussels last year. Associate producer Logan Finney speaks with ISDA Director Chanel Tewalt about the eradication campaign, Idaho's multi-agency approach to managing quagga mussels, and impacts on the rest of the river.

Ende Sommer ist die schädliche Quagga-Muschel erstmals auch im Zürichsee entdeckt worden. Ab kommendem Jahr gelten deshalb auch strengere Regeln für Bootsbesitzerinnen und Besitzer. Sie dürfen ihre Schiffe nicht mehr vom einen ins andere Gewässer zügeln. Für Wassersportvereine ist das ein Problem.

In vielen Schweizer Seen verbreiten sie sich rasend schnell: die Quagga-Muschel. Diese entzieht den Seen Nährstoffe, die dann anderen Tieren fehlen, und sie befällt auch offene Wasserleitungen und Fischernetze. Im grössten Aargauer See, dem Hallwilersee, gibt es bislang noch keinen Nachweis.

Bruce Johnson joined in on the show this week to highlight the addition of 2 new "Dip Tanks" in Utah to help prevent the spread of Quagga and other invasive species!

You may have heard that various kinds of invasive plants and animals create problems for the species that are native to an area. In the case of the quagga mussel, which only grows to the size of a thumbnail, its effects extend beyond the natural ecology and into the built environment. Not only can it take food away from juvenile salmon and other fish, but the mussels can clog all sorts of water systems, from municipal water to irrigation and hydropower. The quagga and the related zebra mussel came from Eastern Europe to the Great Lakes in the 1980s. In the last dozen years or so, quagga been found in California, Nevada and Utah. They also appeared in Idaho last year along the Snake River. Rick Boatner, the invasive species coordinator at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, says inspections and monitoring could keep the quagga out of the Columbia River Basin, but probably not for more than a few years. He says once they get in, quagga mussels will forever change how we use water in Oregon. He joins to tell us more about what’s needed to slow their spread and to highlight a few of the other invasive species on the agency’s radar.  

Tim is joined by Lt. Bruce Johnson from the Division of Wildlife Resources to discuss the number of invasive quagga mussels that affected Utah’s lake and boats this year.

Nature lovers need to be concerned about invasive aquatic species, especially the devastating potential of quagga mussels and their close relatives zebra mussels.

Of all the things we have imported from Europe, the Quagga Mussel is an accidental stowaway that threatens all U.S. waters. They can clog city water-intake structures, agriculture pipes, and create havoc on docks, buoys, boat hulls, and beaches. An estimated $500 million a year is spent managing them in the Great Lakes alone. Bruce Johnson, Lieutenant AIS Field Operations Utah Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife, shares in behind-the-scenes work to control these aquatic pests.

The Idaho State Department of Agriculture announced last week the presence of invasive quagga mussel larvae in the Snake River near Twin Falls. Director Chanel Tewalt joins Logan Finney to discuss what this means for Idaho and the state's response plan. Find more information at http://www.idaho.gov/quagga

This week, we dive deep into two news stories that flew under the public's radar. In the summer of 2020, individuals all over the country started receiving random packages of unsolicited and unidentified seeds. In the spring of 2021, pet stores around the country found that the moss balls on their shelves carried a notorious aquatic hitchhiker.

Zebra and quagga mussels can devastate an ecosystem and Yellowstone National Park is doing everything it can to keep them out. As the Mountain West News Bureau's Maggie Mullen reports, that includes harnessing the power of a dog's snout.
