In the world heritage-protected Shark Bay, 800 kilometres north of Perth, a Malgana woman is working to save biodiversity. Considered one of the world's greatest wilderness treasures, she's carrying a unique responsibility passed on by Elders who've cared for the land before her. - อ่าวชาร์กเบย์ (Shark Bay) พื้นที่มรดกโลกที่อยู่ห่างจากเมืองเพิร์ทไปทางเหนือราว 800 กิโลเมตร เป็นที่ทำงานของหญิงชนพื้นเมืองชาวมัลกานา กับภารกิจสำคัญในการปกป้องความหลากหลายทางชีวภาพของออสเตรเลีย

"I wanted to be out on Country more. I feel it's good for your soul. And I also feel it's up to us young guys to step up and do what our Elders once did."

Θεωρείται ένας από τους μεγαλύτερους θησαυρούς της άγριας φύσης στον κόσμο και επωμίζεται μια ξεχωριστή ευθύνη που της κληροδοτήθηκε από τους γέροντες που φρόντιζαν τη γη πριν από αυτήν Η Νιλίσα Όκλεϊ από τη Μαλγκάνα [[Mul-guh-nuh]] εργάζεται ως φύλακας εδώ και δύο χρόνια.

Tại Shark Bay, khu vực được UNESCO công nhận là Di sản Thế giới, cách Perth 800 kilomet về phía bắc, một phụ nữ Thổ dân Malgana đang làm việc để bảo vệ đa dạng sinh học. Nơi đây được coi là một trong những kho báu hoang dã vĩ đại nhất thế giới, và cô đang gánh vác một trách nhiệm đặc biệt được các bậc trưởng lão truyền lại – những người đã chăm sóc mảnh đất này trước cô.

Zwei Jahre nachdem «Einstein» mit Forschenden der Uni Zürich in die Welt der Delfine Westaustraliens abtauchte, liegen nun Resultate vor: Wetterextreme setzen den Meeressäugern massiv zu und nur wenige Tiere kommen mit der Klimaveränderung klar. Die Delfinpopulationen von Shark Bay sind unter Druck. Delfine unter Stress: Wieso der Klimawandel ihr schlimmster Feind ist Vor zwei Jahren tauchte das SRF-Wissensmagazin «Einstein» mit Forschenden der Uni Zürich in die Welt der Delfine Westaustraliens ein. Auch ihre neuesten Daten zeigen: Der Klimawandel setzt den Meersäugern enorm zu und nur wenige Tiere kommen damit klar. Vier Forschende des Zürcher Delfin-Teams geben Einblick in ihre Projekte, die über Langzeitdaten und genetische Analysen direkt miteinander verbunden sind. Was ist Delfin «Fornia»? Die Delfin-Forschungsprojekte der Uni Zürich in Shark Bay haben ihren Fokus derzeit auf der Klimaerwärmung und deren Auswirkungen auf die Delfinpopulationen in Westaustralien. Vier junge Forschende aus der «Einstein»-Reportage von 2023 zeigen an einem bestimmten Delfin mit Namen «Fornia» auf, warum sie auch unbedingt wissen müssen, ob es sich um ein männliches oder weibliches Tier handelt. Eine DNA-Extraktion im Labor bringt Klarheit. Delfin-DNA dank Luftgewehr Gewebeproben sind für die Delfinforschung Gold wert. Evolutionsgenetikerin Svenja Marfurt holt sie sich in Westaustralien mit einem Luftgewehr, das speziell für Biopsien entwickelt wurde. Dank genetischen Analysen konnte sie herausfinden, dass die Delfinpopulation von Shark Bay vor mindestens 12'000 Jahren entstand. Dieses Wissen hilft, die Anpassungsfähigkeit der Delfine an den fortschreitenden Klimawandel zu erforschen. Delfin-Killer Klimawandel Mit dem globalen Temperaturanstieg haben die Häufigkeit, Dauer und Intensität mariner Hitzewellen zugenommen. Verheerend war eine solche an der Westküste Australiens 2011, die zu einem dramatischen Verlust von Seegraswiesen führte und auch die Delfine in Shark Bay hart traf. Populationsdynamiker Felix Smith kann anhand seiner Daten aufzeigen, dass die Überlebensrate der Delfine stark zurückging und sich bis heute nie mehr ganz erholte. Delfinforschung aus der Luft Wie gesund und gut ernährt ein Delfin ist, spielt eine Schlüsselrolle fürs Überleben, die Fortpflanzung und den Nachwuchs der Tiere. Vor wenigen Jahren setzte Meeresbiologe Riccardo Cicciarella erstmals Drohnen ein, um die Grösse und den Gesundheitszustand der Tiere zu messen. Heute zeigt sich: Messungen aus der Luft sind ebenso exakt wie manuelle Methoden. Und man muss die Delfine nicht mehr fangen und anfassen, was sie weniger stört. Delfin und. Co auf einem Löschpapier Wie verändert der Klimawandel die Habitate der Delfine und die Biodiversität in Shark Bay? Umweltgenetikerin Manuella Bizzozzero nutzt eine innovative Kombination aus Umwelt-DNA-Analyse und Satellitendaten, um die Lebensräume im Meer zu charakterisieren und deren Einfluss auf das Verhalten der Delfine zu verstehen. Entstanden sind detaillierte Meereskarten, die wertvolle Beiträge zu den andern Delfin-Projekten der Uni Zürich liefern.

Comme les grands singes, les dauphins savent se servir d'outils. En Australie, à Shark Bay, certains grands dauphins se servent d'outils et se transmettent cette technique entre eux.Baptisée shelling, la pratique en question consiste pour les dauphins à forcer un poisson à trouver refuge dans une coquille vide de coquillage, puis d'amener la coquille en surface pour la secouer vigoureusement sur la pointe de leur nez afin d'attraper le poisson qui en tombe.Les mamans de ce même groupe forment leur delphineau à une autre forme d'utilisation d'outil appelée sponging dans laquelle les dauphins protègent leur rostre avec des éponges pour fureter et chercher de la nourriture dans les rochers coupants._______

Seeing sharks in the wild often means donning a wetsuit and goggles. But that's not the case in Cape Verde. Shark Bay is a unique spot offering the chance to wade in and get up close with these animals. But it's fast becoming one of the top tourist attractions, and there's worry what that could mean. Joining Project Biodiversity, Charlie spends an afternoon tagging juveniles in the bay, and learning about the threats this species faces.

fWotD Episode 2442: Rock parrot Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Thursday, 11 January 2024 is Rock parrot.The rock parrot (Neophema petrophila) is a species of grass parrot native to Australia. Described by John Gould in 1841, it is a small parrot 22 to 24 cm (8+3⁄4 to 9+1⁄2 in) long and weighing 50–60 g (1+3⁄4–2 oz) with predominantly olive-brown upperparts and more yellowish underparts. Its head is olive with light blue forecheeks and lores, and a dark blue frontal band line across the crown with lighter blue above and below. The sexes are similar in appearance, although the female tends to have a duller frontal band and less blue on the face. Two subspecies are recognised.Rocky islands and coastal dune areas are the preferred habitats for this species, which is found from Lake Alexandrina in southeastern South Australia westwards across coastal South and Western Australia to Shark Bay. Unlike other grass parrots, it nests in burrows or rocky crevices mostly on offshore islands such as Rottnest Island. Seeds of grasses and succulent plants form the bulk of its diet. The species has suffered in the face of feral mammals; although its population is declining, it is considered to be a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:35 UTC on Thursday, 11 January 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Rock parrot on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Geraint Standard.

The seagrass covers about 200 sq km , researchers from the University of Western Australia said. 據信這片草甸從一顆種子擴散而成，歷時至少4500年。西澳洲大學的研究人員說，這棵海草覆蓋的面積約200平方公里。 The team stumbled upon the discovery by accident at Shark Bay, about 800km north of Perth. They had set out to understand the genetic diversity of the species - also known as ribbon weed - which is commonly found along parts of Australia's coast. 研究團隊在伯斯北方約800公里的鯊魚灣意外找到這發現。他們先是著手了解這些常在澳洲部份海岸被發現的物種－也被稱為絲帶海草－的基因多樣性。 Researchers collected shoots from across the bay and examined 18,000 genetic markers to create a "fingerprint" from each sample. They had aimed to discover how many plants made up the meadow. 研究人員從整個鯊魚灣蒐集幼芽，並且檢視了1萬8000個基因標記來為每個樣本製造「指紋」。他們原本目標是要找出有多少棵植物構成這片草甸。 "The answer blew us away - there was just one!" said Jane Edgeloe, the study's lead author. 該研究主要作者珍．艾吉羅說：「這個答案讓我們大吃一驚，居然只有一棵！」 Next Article Topic: Not a square to spare: Australian shops ration toilet paper amid coronavirus panic 一張都不分：澳洲商店在冠狀病毒恐慌中限購衛生紙 Australia's major grocers put strict limits on purchases of toilet paper on Wednesday, after shoppers stripped shelves in a rush of panic buying spurred by fears over a coronavirus. 在購物者因冠狀病毒掀起的恐慌而倉皇大肆搶購，將貨架上商品一掃而空後，澳洲大型零售商店週三對購買衛生紙祭出嚴格限制。 The demand for toilet paper, in particular, has sparked the trending hashtags #toiletpapergate and #toiletpapercrisis on Twitter, along with photographs of overloaded shopping trolleys, and calls for calm from baffled officials. 尤其，對衛生紙的需求已經在「推特」掀起「衛生紙門」和「衛生紙危機」熱門話題標籤，以及一張張堆到爆滿的購物車照片，和對此難以理解的官員喊話呼籲冷靜。 The biggest grocery chain, Woolworths Group Ltd, limited sales to four packs a shopper, to keep up stock levels while suppliers ramp up production. 在供應商加速生產的同時，最大連鎖零售商Woolworths集團為了維持存貨量，限制每人最多購買4袋。 Shoppers have swooped on other products also. Costco has put limits on purchases of milk, eggs, rice, disinfectants and soap. 購物者也搶購其他商品。好市多限制牛奶、雞蛋、米、消毒殺菌品和肥皂的購買量。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1523717 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1361291?fbclid=IwAR3kVmMFa5gdommS4R4Ftm8HzoQ7DeQzQ5yjoI0jTvkQDeAtMfTFjDfgQCI Next Article Topic: Australian prison to be evacuated after mice move in A plague of mice that has ravaged vast swathes of eastern Australia has forced the evacuation of a prison while authorities repair gnawed electrical wiring and clear dead and decaying mice from walls and ceilings. 一場蹂躪澳洲東部廣泛地區的鼠疫，已迫使一間監獄全員撤離，好讓當局修復被啃咬的電線，以及清除牆壁和天花板裡死亡發臭的老鼠。 Around 200 staff and 420 inmates will be transferred from the Wellington Correctional Center in rural New South Wales state to other prisons in the region. 新南威爾斯州鄉下的威靈頓矯正所，將撤離約200名職員和420名受刑人到區內其他監獄。 Millions of mice have caused havoc in the grain-growing region of Australia's most populous state for months, devouring crops and haystacks as well as invading homes, businesses, schools, hospitals and prisons. 數月來，上百萬隻老鼠在澳洲人口最稠密的穀物栽植地區大肆破壞，吃光作物和乾草，還入侵住家、商店、學校、醫院和監獄。 The most common complaint about the plague is an ever-present stench of mice urine and decaying flesh. People report being bitten by mice in bed. Mouse carcasses and excrement in roof guttering are polluting farmers' water tanks and causing sickness. 對鼠疫最常見的抱怨，是前所未聞的老鼠尿液和腐敗屍體的惡臭。有人通報躺在床上時被老鼠咬。屋頂排水系統內的鼠屍和鼠便，也污染農夫的儲水槽，並帶來疾病。 Next Article Australian ute whizzes across seven lanes of traffic unscathed澳洲休旅車呼嘯穿越七車道而毫髮無傷 Australian police captured dramatic footage of a white truck speeding unscathed across seven lanes of traffic in a once-in-a-lifetime incident. 在一起難得一見的事件中，澳洲警方拍攝到一輛白色卡車加速橫越七車道卻毫髮無傷的戲劇性影片。 Though a mere five seconds, the riveting video shows a Toyota Hilux truck in Australia's Northern Territories drive over a sandy median, narrowly avoid a collision with another car in three lanes of moving vehicles, thread through two lanes of stationary cars, bounce across two empty lanes and then hurtle toward a line of storefronts. 雖然僅有五秒，這段精彩影片顯示，澳洲北領地的一輛豐田Hilux卡車駛過一個沙地分隔島，在三個車輛行駛中的車道上差點就撞上另一輛車，接著越過兩線車輛靜止的車道，再彈越過兩個空車車道，衝向一排店面。 The driver of the utility vehicle, or ute as the vehicle is commonly known in Australia, was heading towards the city of Darwin when she allegedly lost control, failed to negotiate a turn, and crashed into a business, according to the police in a post on social media. 根據警方在社群媒體上的貼文，這輛運動型休旅車（在澳洲常被稱為ute ）的駕駛在駛向達爾文市時，據說她失控，過彎失敗，最後撞入一個店家。 "It is incredibly lucky no one else was injured in this incident," said Superintendent Daniel Shean of the Northern Territory Police, reminding people to always drive with due care and attention. 北領地警局警司丹尼爾．辛恩說，這起事故沒有其他人受傷真是不可思議，提醒人們開車應該要小心謹慎，注意安全。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1481283 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1479057 Next Article Topic: With Australia-UK deal, Biden again shows China is paramount priority Forging a new three-way alliance with Britain and Australia to the anger of the French, US President Joe Biden has again made brutally clear that his top international priority, overriding all else, will be facing China. 美國總統喬‧拜登不惜激怒法國，與英國及澳洲建立新的三方聯盟，再次殘酷地表明，他的國際事務首要目標，是面對中國。 Under the alliance christened with the acronym AUKUS, Australia will be the only country other than the UK to have access to US technology to build nuclear-powered submarines — which could deploy in contested waters where Beijing is assertively exerting its claims. 該聯盟名為AUKUS，為澳、英、美三國的首字母縮寫。根據其協議，澳洲將成為除英國之外唯一能獲得美國技術以建造核動力潛艇的國家——這些核子潛艇可部署在北京強勢主張所有權之爭議水域。 The announcement infuriated China, but also France, which lost a contract to build conventional submarines for Australia that was worth A$50 billion (US$36.5 billion) at the time of signing. 此消息公布，激怒了中國，卻也激怒了法國；法國丟了為澳洲製造傳統動力潛艇的合約，該合約簽署時之價格為五百億澳元（三百六十五億美元）。 French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian denounced the “stab in the back” by the US, and Paris has recalled its ambassadors to the US and Canberra. AUKUS was unveiled weeks after Biden withdrew remaining US troops from Afghanistan, prompting unusually strong statements from European allies who decried the swift return to power of the Taliban. 法國外交部長尚-伊夫‧勒德里安譴責美國的「背後捅刀」，巴黎已召回其駐美國及坎培拉大使。拜登完成美軍撤出阿富汗後數週，AUKUS聯盟計畫公布，引起歐洲盟國發出異常強烈的聲明，譴責美國的撤軍讓塔利班迅速重掌政權。 Biden had long pushed to end the 20-year war and has repeatedly said that Afghanistan was a costly sideshow to China, which his adminstration has described as the primary US rival in the 21st century. “The world is changing. We're engaged in a serious competition with China,” Biden said in a speech after the last US troops left. 拜登長期以來一直努力想結束這場長達二十年的戰爭，並一再表示與中國問題相較，阿富汗戰爭是一個代價高昂的枝節問題；拜登政府稱中國為美國在二十一世紀的頭號競爭對手。「世界正在改變。我們正與中國進行一場嚴峻的競爭」，拜登在最後一批美軍離開阿富汗時所發表的講話中說道。 Relations between Beijing and Washington look set to continue on their current tricky path, while the Western alliance has also been shaken. 北京與華盛頓之間的關係看來將繼續沿著目前棘手的道路前進，而西方聯盟也受到了動搖。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2021/09/27/2003765047

PART 2: In this episode of OzCast, Professor Kendrick unveils the crucial role that seagrass plays in marine and terrestrial ecosystems, shedding light on its remarkable ability to support marine life and store blue carbon, even more effectively than tropical rainforests. With over 40 years of professional experience in the restoration of these marine ecosystems, Professor Kendrick dives beneath the surface on all the trials and tribulations of bringing these lost meadows back to their former glory – from small-scale projects, all the way to industry-leading community-led projects like Seeds For Snapper.   Professor Gary Kendrick is a leading marine ecologist in the areas of marine benthic biodiversity, resource mapping, seagrass and seaweed ecology and seagrass restoration. He has worked with government and industry to determine needs and develop solutions for climate change threats as well as environmental and conservation issues in Australia's exclusive economic zone.    He has successfully led numerous interdisciplinary teams to address gaps in our knowledge by mapping benthic resources in the shallow continental shelf around Australia and in studying the environmental impacts on seagrasses and seaweeds of commercial fishing, oil and gas infrastructure, dredging, coastal development, coastal eutrophication and desalination outfalls.    Throughout the podcast, Gary discusses the idea of awareness: of not just when seagrass was recognised as being lost in Australia, but the awareness of how important it is to both animals and humans. He provides anecdotes on the types of ways we used seagrass, which ultimately led to its decline over the last 240 years. According to Gary, we are losing one football field of seagrass every 30 minutes, globally.   Drawing from his extensive travels, he compares Australia's efforts on the international stage, giving us a comprehensive overview of where we stand globally in seagrass preservation. He explores the major international policies that have shaped seagrass protection in Australia, highlighting the ongoing work needed to secure seagrass ecosystems in international law.  His seagrass restoration work previously focused on technical solutions and developments to improve the restoration success of seagrasses. More recently, however, his emphasis has shifted to working with the community to develop restoration at larger scales. He presently works on supporting the large OzFish community program, Seeds for Snapper, which is a collaboration with the University of Western Australia that is scaling up seagrass restoration from 100m2 to hectares using seeds of the seagrass Posidonia australis.   Professor Kendrick emphasises the power of community involvement in seagrass restoration. Learn why he believes that programs like "Seeds For Snapper" are not just for experts but something everyone should engage in, emphasising the collective responsibility we all share in preserving these invaluable ecosystems.  With years spent swimming amid these submerged meadows, Gary shares how he endeavours to quantify the value of a square meter of seagrass, unveiling a surprising truth that challenges our preconceptions. He delves into the methods that work and those that don't. It's a percentage game and he explains why restoring even 10% of seagrass seeds is a monumental achievement in the world of conservation.   Gary's long-term research goal is to develop a predictive framework for understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics between marine species distributions, their biology and the physical environment. His work on this has identified appropriate descriptors of extensive historical losses of seagrass habitat due to human impacts and modelled emergent landscape-scale phenomena related to the clonal growth of seagrasses at the shoot scale and the evolution of seagrass landscapes. This line of research has led him to question our understanding of sexual recruitment in seagrasses and has led to recent work on dispersal, recruitment and genetics of seagrasses.  In a bid to provide context to recently published papers, Professor Kendrick provides insight into a major report released in 2022, which shows that one single seagrass plant occupies all of Shark Bay – a realisation that has opened his mind for what is possible with seagrass restoration in Australia.    Throughout the episodes, Gary sheds light on other restoration programs happening around both Australia and the world. Gary highlights another community seagrass restoration collaboration with indigenous Malgana Land and Sea Rangers is presently underway in Gathaagudu (Shark Bay, WA) to replace seagrasses lost during the 2011 extreme marine heatwave (MHW).   He is also a major science advisor to the more commercial Tidal Moon project that is planning to plant 100 hectares of seagrass in Shark Bay over the next three years to mitigate carbon loss from the death of seagrasses 12 years ago.  

In this episode of OzCast, Professor Kendrick unveils the crucial role that seagrass plays in marine and terrestrial ecosystems, shedding light on its remarkable ability to support marine life and store blue carbon, even more effectively than tropical rainforests. With over 40 years of professional experience in the restoration of these marine ecosystems, Professor Kendrick dives beneath the surface on all the trials and tribulations of bringing these lost meadows back to their former glory – from small-scale projects, all the way to industry-leading community-led projects like Seeds For Snapper.   Professor Gary Kendrick is a leading marine ecologist in the areas of marine benthic biodiversity, resource mapping, seagrass and seaweed ecology and seagrass restoration. He has worked with government and industry to determine needs and develop solutions for climate change threats as well as environmental and conservation issues in Australia's exclusive economic zone.    He has successfully led numerous interdisciplinary teams to address gaps in our knowledge by mapping benthic resources in the shallow continental shelf around Australia and in studying the environmental impacts on seagrasses and seaweeds of commercial fishing, oil and gas infrastructure, dredging, coastal development, coastal eutrophication and desalination outfalls.    Throughout the podcast, Gary discusses the idea of awareness: of not just when seagrass was recognised as being lost in Australia, but the awareness of how important it is to both animals and humans. He provides anecdotes on the types of ways we used seagrass, which ultimately led to its decline over the last 240 years. According to Gary, we are losing one football field of seagrass every 30 minutes, globally.   Drawing from his extensive travels, he compares Australia's efforts on the international stage, giving us a comprehensive overview of where we stand globally in seagrass preservation. He explores the major international policies that have shaped seagrass protection in Australia, highlighting the ongoing work needed to secure seagrass ecosystems in international law.  His seagrass restoration work previously focused on technical solutions and developments to improve the restoration success of seagrasses. More recently, however, his emphasis has shifted to working with the community to develop restoration at larger scales. He presently works on supporting the large OzFish community program, Seeds for Snapper, which is a collaboration with the University of Western Australia that is scaling up seagrass restoration from 100m2 to hectares using seeds of the seagrass Posidonia australis.   Professor Kendrick emphasises the power of community involvement in seagrass restoration. Learn why he believes that programs like "Seeds For Snapper" are not just for experts but something everyone should engage in, emphasising the collective responsibility we all share in preserving these invaluable ecosystems.  With years spent swimming amid these submerged meadows, Gary shares how he endeavours to quantify the value of a square meter of seagrass, unveiling a surprising truth that challenges our preconceptions. He delves into the methods that work and those that don't. It's a percentage game and he explains why restoring even 10% of seagrass seeds is a monumental achievement in the world of conservation.   Gary's long-term research goal is to develop a predictive framework for understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics between marine species distributions, their biology and the physical environment. His work on this has identified appropriate descriptors of extensive historical losses of seagrass habitat due to human impacts and modelled emergent landscape-scale phenomena related to the clonal growth of seagrasses at the shoot scale and the evolution of seagrass landscapes. This line of research has led him to question our understanding of sexual recruitment in seagrasses and has led to recent work on dispersal, recruitment and genetics of seagrasses.  In a bid to provide context to recently published papers, Professor Kendrick provides insight into a major report released in 2022, which shows that one single seagrass plant occupies all of Shark Bay – a realisation that has opened his mind for what is possible with seagrass restoration in Australia.    Throughout the episodes, Gary sheds light on other restoration programs happening around both Australia and the world. Gary highlights another community seagrass restoration collaboration with indigenous Malgana Land and Sea Rangers is presently underway in Gathaagudu (Shark Bay, WA) to replace seagrasses lost during the 2011 extreme marine heatwave (MHW).     He is also a major science advisor to the more commercial Tidal Moon project that is planning to plant 100 hectares of seagrass in Shark Bay over the next three years to mitigate carbon loss from the death of seagrasses 12 years ago.

My guest is Sophie Matterson. In 2019 Sophie's desire for a different kind of life led her to set an audacious goal – to walk across the width of Australia, covering an astounding 5000 kilometres, from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Byron Bay in New South Wales.Sophie was joined on this journey by her five camels, and together they faced life-and-death situations, braved harsh weather conditions, and overcame the challenges of solitude and going weeks without encountering another soul.Sophie's journey was not just about conquering the physical terrain; it was also a quest for self-discovery and personal growth which she captures in her memoir “The Crossing”. Today Sophie shares with me the highs and lows, the challenges, and the moments of sheer wonder that defined her year-long odyssey.Stay up to date by joining the mailing list here: Osher Günsberg - Better Than Yesterday Podcast | LinktreeAnything else?

En Australie, à Shark Bay, certains grands dauphins se servent d'outils et se transmettent cette technique entre eux. Baptisée shelling, la pratique en question consiste pour les dauphins à forcer un poisson à trouver refuge dans une coquille vide de coquillage, puis d'amener la coquille en surface pour la secouer vigoureusement sur la pointe de leur nez afin d'attraper le poisson qui en tombe. Les mamans de ce même groupe forment leur delphineau à une autre forme d'utilisation d'outil appelée sponging dans laquelle les dauphins protègent leur rostre avec des éponges pour fureter et chercher de la nourriture dans les rochers coupants. _______   On aime ce qui nous a émerveillé … et on protège ce qu'on aime. _______ Découvrir tout l'univers Baleine sous Gravillon, et Mécaniques du Vivant sur France Culture : https://baleinesousgravillon.com/liens-2 Soutenir notre travail, bénévole et sans pub : https://bit.ly/helloasso_donsUR_BSG Nous contacter pour une conférence, un partenariat ou d'autres synergies : contact@baleinesousgravillon.com _______ Interview : Marc Mortelmans Rédaction en chef : Guillaume Lassalle Graphisme : Elouan Plessix Montage / notices / programmation : Zeynab Tamoukh, Albane Couterot, Paul Lavigne

I generally don't like to come out and rip into a tour company especially being a travel professional myself. I have to come out and warn travellers to stay away from this company. I used this tour company for our trip of a lifetime, and financially it was and the experience was not so exciting. I must say that I enjoyed the Safari portion of our trip and the people in destinations Cape Town, Humala, Tshukudu and Kruger National Park were amazing. The people at the hotels, Belle Marco, The Shark Bay, and Stillness Manor were excellent as well. Our drivers and guides were also excellent.  Where I had an issue with staff in the North American offices.Everyone is still using the excuse of the Pandemic and staff shortages and people working from home and information is in different places. We live in a world of technology, a funny thing called computers, the digital world.The company sent us a receipt of all the money that we paid for this trip as we were allowed to pay it over time.  They had a flight for us from Cape Town to Johannesburg and when the agent called she told us we were starting our tour off on Safari. I don't think so, based on the information they provided to me we were flying from Cape Town to Johannesburg and that is how we booked our own flights, a flight into Cape Town and a flight out of Johannesburg. Give it a listen, beware of this tour company and if you are looking for one that will deliver on all their promises, you can reach out to me as I am a travel professional

Topic: World's biggest plant discovered off Australian coast   The largest known plant on Earth - a seagrass roughly three times the size of Manhattan - has been discovered off the coast of Australia. 地球上已知的最大植物－大約是曼哈頓面積3倍大的一種海草－已在澳洲海岸外被發現。 Using genetic testing, scientists have determined a large underwater meadow in Western Australia is in fact one plant. 使用基因測定，科學家已判定在西澳洲的一片大型水下草甸其實是一棵植物。 It is believed to have spread from a single seed over at least 4,500 years. The seagrass covers about 200 sq km , researchers from the University of Western Australia said. 據信這片草甸從一顆種子擴散而成，歷時至少4500年。西澳洲大學的研究人員說，這棵海草覆蓋的面積約200平方公里。 The team stumbled upon the discovery by accident at Shark Bay, about 800km north of Perth. They had set out to understand the genetic diversity of the species - also known as ribbon weed - which is commonly found along parts of Australia's coast. 研究團隊在伯斯北方約800公里的鯊魚灣意外找到這發現。他們先是著手了解這些常在澳洲部份海岸被發現的物種－也被稱為絲帶海草－的基因多樣性。 Researchers collected shoots from across the bay and examined 18,000 genetic markers to create a "fingerprint" from each sample. They had aimed to discover how many plants made up the meadow. 研究人員從整個鯊魚灣蒐集幼芽，並且檢視了1萬8000個基因標記來為每個樣本製造「指紋」。他們原本目標是要找出有多少棵植物構成這片草甸。 "The answer blew us away - there was just one!" said Jane Edgeloe, the study's lead author. 該研究主要作者珍．艾吉羅說：「這個答案讓我們大吃一驚，居然只有一棵！」   Next Article   Topic: Not a square to spare: Australian shops ration toilet paper amid coronavirus panic 一張都不分：澳洲商店在冠狀病毒恐慌中限購衛生紙 Australia's major grocers put strict limits on purchases of toilet paper on Wednesday, after shoppers stripped shelves in a rush of panic buying spurred by fears over a coronavirus. 在購物者因冠狀病毒掀起的恐慌而倉皇大肆搶購，將貨架上商品一掃而空後，澳洲大型零售商店週三對購買衛生紙祭出嚴格限制。 The demand for toilet paper, in particular, has sparked the trending hashtags #toiletpapergate and #toiletpapercrisis on Twitter, along with photographs of overloaded shopping trolleys, and calls for calm from baffled officials. 尤其，對衛生紙的需求已經在「推特」掀起「衛生紙門」和「衛生紙危機」熱門話題標籤，以及一張張堆到爆滿的購物車照片，和對此難以理解的官員喊話呼籲冷靜。 The biggest grocery chain, Woolworths Group Ltd, limited sales to four packs a shopper, to keep up stock levels while suppliers ramp up production. 在供應商加速生產的同時，最大連鎖零售商Woolworths集團為了維持存貨量，限制每人最多購買4袋。 Shoppers have swooped on other products also.

People report being bitten by mice in bed. Mouse carcasses and excrement in roof guttering are polluting farmers' water tanks and causing sickness. 對鼠疫最常見的抱怨，是前所未聞的老鼠尿液和腐敗屍體的惡臭。有人通報躺在床上時被老鼠咬。屋頂排水系統內的鼠屍和鼠便，也污染農夫的儲水槽，並帶來疾病。 Next Article Australian ute whizzes across seven lanes of traffic unscathed澳洲休旅車呼嘯穿越七車道而毫髮無傷 Australian police captured dramatic footage of a white truck speeding unscathed across seven lanes of traffic in a once-in-a-lifetime incident. 在一起難得一見的事件中，澳洲警方拍攝到一輛白色卡車加速橫越七車道卻毫髮無傷的戲劇性影片。 Though a mere five seconds, the riveting video shows a Toyota Hilux truck in Australia's Northern Territories drive over a sandy median, narrowly avoid a collision with another car in three lanes of moving vehicles, thread through two lanes of stationary cars, bounce across two empty lanes and then hurtle toward a line of storefronts. 雖然僅有五秒，這段精彩影片顯示，澳洲北領地的一輛豐田Hilux卡車駛過一個沙地分隔島，在三個車輛行駛中的車道上差點就撞上另一輛車，接著越過兩線車輛靜止的車道，再彈越過兩個空車車道，衝向一排店面。 The driver of the utility vehicle, or ute as the vehicle is commonly known in Australia, was heading towards the city of Darwin when she allegedly lost control, failed to negotiate a turn, and crashed into a business, according to the police in a post on social media. 根據警方在社群媒體上的貼文，這輛運動型休旅車（在澳洲常被稱為ute ）的駕駛在駛向達爾文市時，據說她失控，過彎失敗，最後撞入一個店家。 "It is incredibly lucky no one else was injured in this incident," said Superintendent Daniel Shean of the Northern Territory Police, reminding people to always drive with due care and attention. 北領地警局警司丹尼爾．辛恩說，這起事故沒有其他人受傷真是不可思議，提醒人們開車應該要小心謹慎，注意安全。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1481283 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1479057   Next Article   Topic: With Australia-UK deal, Biden again shows China is paramount priority   Forging a new three-way alliance with Britain and Australia to the anger of the French, US President Joe Biden has again made brutally clear that his top international priority, overriding all else, will be facing China. 美國總統喬‧拜登不惜激怒法國，與英國及澳洲建立新的三方聯盟，再次殘酷地表明，他的國際事務首要目標，是面對中國。 Under the alliance christened with the acronym AUKUS, Australia will be the only country other than the UK to have access to US technology to build nuclear-powered submarines — which could deploy in contested waters where Beijing is assertively exerting its claims. 該聯盟名為AUKUS，為澳、英、美三國的首字母縮寫。根據其協議，澳洲將成為除英國之外唯一能獲得美國技術以建造核動力潛艇的國家——這些核子潛艇可部署在北京強勢主張所有權之爭議水域。 The announcement infuriated China, but also France, which lost a contract to build conventional submarines for Australia that was worth A$50 billion (US$36.5 billion) at the time of signing. 此消息公布，激怒了中國，卻也激怒了法國；法國丟了為澳洲製造傳統動力潛艇的合約，該合約簽署時之價格為五百億澳元（三百六十五億美元）。 French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian denounced the “stab in the back” by the US, and Paris has recalled its ambassadors to the US and Canberra. AUKUS was unveiled weeks after Biden withdrew remaining US troops from Afghanistan, prompting unusually strong statements from European allies who decried the swift return to power of the Taliban. 法國外交部長尚-伊夫‧勒德里安譴責美國的「背後捅刀」，巴黎已召回其駐美國及坎培拉大使。拜登完成美軍撤出阿富汗後數週，AUKUS聯盟計畫公布，引起歐洲盟國發出異常強烈的聲明，譴責美國的撤軍讓塔利班迅速重掌政權。 Biden had long pushed to end the 20-year war and has repeatedly said that Afghanistan was a costly sideshow to China, which his adminstration has described as the primary US rival in the 21st century. “The world is changing. We're engaged in a serious competition with China,” Biden said in a speech after the last US troops left. 拜登長期以來一直努力想結束這場長達二十年的戰爭，並一再表示與中國問題相較，阿富汗戰爭是一個代價高昂的枝節問題；拜登政府稱中國為美國在二十一世紀的頭號競爭對手。「世界正在改變。我們正與中國進行一場嚴峻的競爭」，拜登在最後一批美軍離開阿富汗時所發表的講話中說道。 Relations between Beijing and Washington look set to continue on their current tricky path, while the Western alliance has also been shaken. 北京與華盛頓之間的關係看來將繼續沿著目前棘手的道路前進，而西方聯盟也受到了動搖。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2021/09/27/2003765047

Een zeegrasveld aan de Australische westkust heeft zich 4500 jaar lang verspreid over de zeebodem en is volgens onderzoekers op het moment het grootste organisme ter wereld.  Het lijkt erop dat het zeegras dat groeit in Shark Bay een hybride is tussen bestaand lintwier en een nog onbekende soort. Het zeegrasveld doet het waarschijnlijk zo goed omdat het zichzelf kloont in plaats van seksueel voortplant.  De vondst was een behoorlijke verrassing, aangezien de wetenschappers juist samples van zeegrassoorten hadden genomen om naar genetische variatie te kijken. Die viel alleen behoorlijk tegen, want van de 10 locaties waar de samples waren genomen, waren er 9 genetisch gelijk.  Het zeegrasveld van in totaal 200 vierkante kilometer moet ooit begonnen zijn bij één en dezelfde plant. Net als dat het geval is voor een niet zo heel anders en ook enorm organisme: een netwerk van zo'n 40.000 ratelpopulieren in Utah.  Normaal gesproken is het hebben van weinig genetische variatie niet bepaald bevorderlijk voor het voortbestaan van een soort. Het gekloonde zeegrasveld roept daarom weer allemaal nieuwe vragen op waar we ongetwijfeld nog jaren zoet mee zijn.   Lees meer: Largest known plant on earth discovered at Shark Bay and it's 4,500 years old.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mannetjesdolfijnen met de sterkste en meeste sociale contacten blijken ook de meeste kinderen te hebben. En het sociale contact met kennissen onderhouden ze vooral door naar elkaar te fluiten.  Het gaat hier om de bottlenose dolfijnen van Shark Bay in Australië. Zij staan bekend om hun grote sociale groepen met daarin allemaal mannen die geen familie van elkaar zijn. Het is een samenstelling die niet veel voorkomt in het dierenrijk. Wetenschappers bekeken 30 jaar aan data van het gedrag van verschillende 'teams' met mannetjes uit deze omgeving. Toen ze ook de genetische data van de mannetjes en jongen uit het leefgebied bekeken zagen ze: de mannetjes met de sterkste vriendschappen en de meeste contacten in de groep hadden ook de meeste kinderen. Maar hoe onderhouden die mannetjes hun vriendschappen eigenlijk? Dat doen ze door elkaar aan te raken en te spelen, maar ook, blijkt uit een ander onderzoek: door te fluiten naar elkaar. Vooral als een ander mannetje in de groep net iets te ver weg is en het om een kennis gaat (en geen dikke vriend) kiezen ze ervoor om te fluiten. Dat fluitje - wat dolfijnen al jong leren gebruiken om elkaar te herkennen - zegt zoveel als: hier Henk, hier Henk. Waarop een ander dan reageert met: hier Harry, hier Harry, over.  Een hele efficiënte en simpele manier om je contacten te onderhouden. En eentje die dus blijkbaar ook nog zorgt voor meer nageslacht.  Lees meer: Dolphins whistle to keep in touch with distant friends. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pastoralists in the Gascoyne are still busy fighting fires that have now burnt through more than 195-thousand hectares. A bushfire watch and act is still in place for some of this remote pastoral land, in the shires of Carnarvon, Shark Bay and the Upper Gascoyne. Chris and Tim Higham run Meedo Station. Chris said the fire had burnt through approximately 60 to 70, 000 hectares of her property and she's particularly concerned about several thousand head of sheep that would have been in the direct line of the fire. The commercial fishing industry said it's under attack from a range of different directions and has decided to launch an advertising campaign to show the community how important the industry is to WA. An historic moment at the Albany Port over the weekend, with a shipment of 30, 000 tonnes of sustainably certified malting barley heading to Vietnam on a ship powered by a blend of biofuel, or recycled vegetable oil.

You have found your way to Renegade Files. Your entertainment and information home for all things weird, unexplained, and mysterious beyond belief.This is Renegade Files Episode number 10, The Death of Kurt Cobain.Thank you for tuning in to the show. This one is quite a ride.In the early 1990s the music industry was poised to change, but it hadn't truly changed yet. Consumption of music was in the midst of transitioning from the analog world of vinyl to the digital world of CDs, with the portable, but inferior-to-both, magnetic cassette tape bridging the gap.At the same time the previous decade of music had stripped out the soul of rock and roll, in favor of cookie-cutter tunes that were commercially viable, fit into FM radio timeslots, and could be performed by hair-sprayed, spandexed, pseudo-bad boys.Grunge emerged as a direct response to the bland, corporate rock machine of the 80s, and was fueled by the exceedingly high profit margin of plastic CDs. Grunge was arguably the first truly new musical style to emerge in the US since Rap, and it came from genuine creativity, soul, and as a reaction to a huge music industry that had systematically removed those things from their products. Kurt Cobain and Nirvana emerged to become the kings of Grunge and their music and lyrics make up some of the best music released in generations. But in the end, Kurt Cobain met with a tragic end and regardless of how you interpret his last days, he gave us everything he had, and I'm grateful for what he did while he was with us.On this episode of Renegade Files we'll look into the facts, the timeline, and the cast of characters involved with the sad death of a creative, talented, and troubled person. Come with me as we dig through the facts associated with the loss of a pioneering musician and songwriter whose band rescued the nation from corporate 80s hairband glam, and became the voice of a generation looking for musical authenticity and lyrical relate-ability.Much like a hotel room on a grunge band tour stop, this entire case is just a mess. But together we'll string together the details which paint a very different picture than the sanitized, neatly produced package given to us from the 90s news on MTV, or as Kurt Cobain called it, Empty-TV.Come with Renegade Files as we investigate…The Death of Kurt Cobain.Website http://therenegadefiles.comShare the website with your paranormal, mystery, and conspiracy loving friends.Merchandise https://www.bonfire.com/store/renegade-files/Get cool Renegade Files Gear.Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefilesGet more content, deep episode research, and help us stay free and ad-free.--------------------------Music: Theme Song: “Steve's Djembe” by Vani, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 License.“Shark Bay” by Aniqatia, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 License.“Maneuvers” by Aniqatia, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 License.“Elegy” by Aniqatia, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 License.“The Cost” by Aniqatia, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 License.“Noise” by Lately Kind Of Yeah, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License.“Tide Devourer” by Lately Kind Of Yeah, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License.“Virtual Blue” by Lately Kind Of Yeah, FMA, licensed: Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License.

These curious coral reef inhabitants have evolved some remarkable adaptations to thrive in the underwater realm.

In the episode, Laura and Justin transform themselves into a pair of dolphins and explore the waters of Shark Bay, Australia to figure out what happened when a mysterious heatwave wreaked havoc on the local dolphin population. Rising ocean temperatures pose a serious threaten to marine species, including dolphins. A seemingly innocent, short-term rise in ocean temperature off the west coast of Australia had devastating and long-term consequences for a number of plant and animal species in Shark Bay. The local population of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins saw a drop in their population numbers, as well as low birth rates after the heatwave. Eight years later, the population is slowly recovering. The article being discussed in this episode is: Sonja Wild, Michael Krützen, Robert W. Rankin, William J.E. Hoppitt, Livia Gerber, Simon J. Allen. Long-term decline in survival and reproduction of dolphins following a marine heatwave.
