Podcasts about Species

Scientists just discovered ant queens that give birth to two completely different species - not twins, but actual separate species hatching from the same mother. But what the if every animal on Earth reproduced this way? Suddenly every pregnancy becomes a species reveal party, dairy farms need to manage herds where some cows give birth to regular calves while others pop out Ice Age yaks, and your family reunions include relatives from entirely different species sitting around the same table. Pet stores become absolute chaos when golden retrievers randomly give birth to wolves, and nobody knows which species they're getting until it hatches or emerges. Your family tree stops being a tree and starts looking like a biological choose-your-own-adventure book. This bizarre discovery from Science Magazine proves that when biology textbooks try to define species boundaries, nature just laughs and does whatever it wants anyway. Reproduction just got way weirder than anyone thought possible.

Austin Unruh returns for another deep, practical conversation on silvopasture — this time focusing on “the dip,” livestock pressure, pruning, shade strategy, pigs and poultry in tree systems, and what to do in Year Zero before you ever put a seedling in the ground. If you've ever stared at your pastures on a hot day wishing you had more shade… this one will light a fire under you.What we cover in this episode:The “dip” in silvopasture: why years 1–4 feel like a grindShade as the low-hanging fruit — and why it's only the beginningLivestock pressure: how to protect trees when cattle, horses, and wildlife want to destroy themPruning young vs. established trees (and the dangers of over-pruning)Species selection for different goals: shade, fodder, privacy screens, and livestock feedWhy mulberries and persimmons shine for pigs and poultryRunning pigs IN establishment-phase silvopasture (pros, cons, protection methods)Tree spacing, patterns, and why grids usually beat random placementsManaging compaction, vole pressure, and bark hardeningYear Zero → Year Two: fall tasks, maintenance, ordering trees, and setting up for successWhy early wins matter psychologically (and how to get them)Continuous grazing vs rotational grazing when it comes to tree cropsIf you're serious about silvopasture, this episode gives you a roadmap from the ground up — from species selection and timing to realistic maintenance and livestock integration. Austin breaks down the parts most graziers underestimate: the grind, the setbacks, and the discipline it takes before shade and feed finally show up. Whether you're planting five trees or five hundred, you'll walk away with clearer steps and fewer unknowns.Resources mentioned:Trees for Graziers — treesforgraziers.comCastor oil vole deterrent productsAcres U.S.A.

In this episode, host Matt Crawford welcomes author, ecologist, and essayist Bridget A. Lyons to discuss her beautiful and thought-provoking book, Entwined: Dispatches from the Intersection of Species. Blending science, philosophy, and lyrical storytelling, Lyons invites readers to reconsider what it means to be human in a world alive with other intelligences. Her work explores the profound connections—and responsibilities—that come with being part of Earth's living network. Together, Matt and Bridget explore how empathy, curiosity, and humility can transform our relationships with animals, ecosystems, and each other. From fieldwork encounters to reflections on climate grief and moral imagination, this conversation reveals why understanding our entanglement with other species might be one of the most urgent challenges of our time.

Bryan Johnson lays out “Don't Die,” a moral framework that puts existence first and turns longevity into a shared fight against entropy. We pressure-test the hard stuff: selfishness, inequality, stagnation, and the so-called two-species future. Bryan argues these are solvable with smart societal engineering if “don't die” is for everyone. He breaks down Blueprint as a practical on-ramp with evidence-based health, behavior, and social habits. We finish on crypto, from his Braintree days with Coinbase to how web3 could power a broad “don't die” commons. ------

Research from Asian geckos generally suggests that sticky pads are used for smooth surfaces, while claws help grip onto rougher surfaces like wood and rocks. But a new study using Australian geckos is has turned that paradigm upside-down. Then we talk about a brand new species of frog described from the mountains of central China.

Dr. Rob Shumaker and Kristi Lee return with Part 2 of their conversation with Dr. Lee James Taylor White and Dr. Catherine “Kate” Abernathy, continuing the story of two conservationists whose work has shaped the future of Africa's forest elephants. Kate recounts her near-fatal encounter with a charging forest elephant during a family walk in Gabon, explaining how field instincts and a split-second decision to crawl under the animal allowed her to survive. Lee describes watching the attack unfold and the terrifying moment he prepared to distract the elephant to save her. The episode moves from that harrowing story into Lee's years leading Gabon's national parks, confronting ivory poaching networks tied to Boko Haram, and uncovering large-scale illegal logging operations. He explains how Gabon became the only country in central Africa to grow its forest elephant population during a decade when two thirds of the species were wiped out elsewhere. Kate shares how her thirty-year data set on fruiting trees and elephant body condition revealed dramatic impacts of climate change on rainforest ecosystems, and how her research network continues even after the 2023 military coup forced the family to leave Gabon. Together, they reflect on the coup, their family's evacuation, the struggle to protect conservation progress, and the future of their work. This episode highlights two voices whose science, leadership, and courage have helped protect the world's remaining forest elephants.

In our Species 1995 Movie Review, we drop you straight back into the chaotic brilliance of mid-90s cinema, where practical effects, erotic sci-fi horror and unapologetic B-grade madness collided to create something truly unforgettable. In this episode of Born to Watch, Whitey, Gow, and Damo go deep into the 1995 creature flick that defined many a teenage boy's movie-going experience. They unpack the film from top to bottom, celebrating the nostalgia, questioning the logic and laughing at the sheer absurdity that made Species a cult classic.Whitey kicks things off by reminding us that the nineties were the final analog decade. Plans were made by phone, movie rumours spread by word of mouth, photos were printed, and mystery still existed. Out of that world came an alien seductress named Sil, played by Natasha Henstridge in her unforgettable debut. The boys discuss how this “erotic sci-fi horror” served as the perfect storm of schlock, suspense, and snorbery, with a surprising amount of A-grade pedigree hiding behind the B-grade sheen.The crew swap first-watch stories, revealing who saw it at the movies, who wore out the VHS and who had only seen the, let's say, memorable scenes on repeat. They break down the cast, including a peak Michael Madsen showing maximum smoulder, Ben Kingsley collecting a paycheck, Forest Whitaker feeling everything as an empath, and Alfred Molina delivering one of the most gloriously stupid character decisions ever put on screen.From there, the episode dives into Species' glaring logical gaps. The boys question how a creature only days old can understand cars, language, currency, sex, and self-sacrifice. They rip into the nightclub bathroom scene, which was somehow empty, the world's cleanest train conductor uniform, the magically perfect self haircut, and that spectacularly unconvincing fake-death scene, which makes no sense. Add an oil reservoir under Los Angeles, a fireball that should still be burning today and a final sewer showdown straight out of Aliens, and you have a recipe for pure nineties chaos.The team also digs into production trivia. Henstridge's big break as a 19-year-old model, Madsen's reluctance toward violent roles, HR Giger's sexualised creature design and the film's surprising success at the box office. The boys even cover Species' most prestigious accolade, the 1996 MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss, complete with an on-stage pash and a very unimpressed boyfriend watching on.As always, the gang wrap things up with The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Snorbs Report, Ordinary People and Question Time, where the dumb decisions of this film truly shine. Was Spa Man the dumbest man alive? Would anyone ever leave a hot tub to answer the phone? Do diabetics get a raw deal in this movie? Why does Sil's intelligence fluctuate depending on what the script requires? It is all here, and it is all hilarious.This Species 1995 Movie Review is full of nostalgia, stupidity and sci-fi sleaze, but above all, it is pure Born to Watch. Strap in for '90s madness, a whole lot of snobs chat, and plenty of laughs as the boys relive one of the most chaotic creature features ever made.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Species the most outrageous sci-fi horror of the '90s, or just the most unforgettable?Did Natasha Henstridge redefine the term B-grade icon?Would you have survived Sill's mating spree, or ended up like poor Rapey Robbie?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or at BornToWatch.com.auDo us a favour: hit follow and drop a five-star review.

In this delightful episode of "Reading with Your Kids," host Jed Doherty explores two fascinating children's books that go far beyond simple storytelling. First, Leokadia George shares the incredible story of Trumpet, a Mexican gray wolf from the Wolf Conservation Center. Trumpet isn't just any wolf - she's a critically important member of a species that was once down to just seven wolves worldwide. George's book series follows Trumpet's life, highlighting conservation efforts and the importance of protecting endangered species. Her latest book, "Trumpet Becomes a Mom," chronicles Trumpet's journey of motherhood, which was actually captured live on the center's webcams. The second half of the episode features Vanessa Roeder, who introduces her playful book "Narwhal versus Kindergarten." This charming story follows Hugo, a narwhal navigating his first week of kindergarten with a comically inconvenient tusk. What makes the book special is its underlying message of empathy and inclusion. Roeder cleverly includes background stories of other animals struggling in their own ways, teaching children that everyone faces challenges and that working together makes those challenges easier. Both authors share fascinating insights into their creative processes. George was inspired by Trumpet's real-life conservation story, while Roeder began with a simple sketch of a narwhal wearing a necktie. Their conversations reveal how children's books can be powerful tools for teaching complex concepts like wildlife preservation, empathy, and mutual support. The episode is a heartwarming exploration of creativity, compassion, and the magic of storytelling. Whether discussing wolf conservation or a narwhal's kindergarten adventures, these authors demonstrate how children's literature can educate, entertain, and inspire young readers. Listeners are left with a renewed appreciation for the depth and creativity found in modern children's books, and perhaps a newfound curiosity about wolves, narwhals, and the incredible stories waiting to be told.

Around 250 million years ago, one of Earth's largest known volcanic events set off The Great Dying: the planet's worst mass extinction event. The eruptions spewed large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, temperatures rose globally and oxygen in the oceans dropped. And while the vast majority of species went extinct, some survived. Scientists like paleophysiology graduate student Kemi Ashing-Giwa want to know why, because lessons about the survivors of The Great Dying could inform today's scientists on how to curb extinctions today.Interested in more Earth science?

00:45 The debate around NanotyrannusA hotly debated species of dinosaur, assumed by many to be a juvenile T. rex, is actually a separate species, according to new research. Nanotyrannus was a dinosaur anatomically similar to T. rex, but about a tenth of the size, leading many to argue it was a young version of the iconic species. However, examination of the limb bones of a well-preserved Nanotyrannus fossil suggests it was close to finishing its growth and so would never become as large as a T. rex, leading the authors to argue that it is, in fact, a different species.Research Article: Zanno and NapoliNews and Views: T. rex debate settled: contested fossils are smaller rival species, not juvenilesNews: ‘Teenage T. rex' fossil is actually a different speciesVideo: Hotly debated dinosaur is not a tiny T. rex after all08:46 Research HighlightsAn artificial ‘neuron' could pave the way to build a brain-inspired computer — plus, how bats buck the trend by hunting prey their own size.Research Highlight: Artificial brains with less drainResearch Highlight: By the time you hear these bats, it's too late11:19 A less invasive way to prevent breast cancerAn ‘anti-hormone' therapy has shown promise in halting the onset of hallmarks associated with breast cancer, in a small trial. Breast cancer is a leading cause of death in women worldwide, but preventative measures, such as mastectomies, are invasive. A new study examined the efficacy of a treatment that blocks progesterone, a hormone thought to play an important role in breast cancer progression. The therapy reduced both specific clinical markers of breast cancer and the number of cells that can become cancerous. Larger, longer trials are needed to show that this treatment could ultimately become part of a breast cancer prevention strategy, but the team think that this work shows the promise of this approach.Research Article: Simões et al.18:41 Briefing ChatA new approach to speed up CRIPSR therapies reaching clinical trials, and how vocal cords could be healed using a tiny 3D printer.Nature: Personalized gene editing helped one baby: can it be rolled out widely?Nature: World's smallest 3D bioprinter could rebuild tissue during surgerySubscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

The Demographic Need: Reframing Migration as an Economic Resource and Dismantling Exclusionary Borders.Gaia Vince discusses how humans are a migratory species that evolved in Africa and colonized the entire globe through movement. Historically, the US and European nations have used policies of brutality and cruelty to restrict movement, with many current border restrictions being recent. Vince highlights the current economic paradox: societies encourage the flow of goods but limit human labor, their largest economic resource, with some economists estimating that removing borders could double global GDP. A critical component of managing migration is investment: financial investment to expand northern cities and social investment in accepting that migrants are not "bad people" and promoting inclusivity. Furthermore, the global north faces a demographic crisis, as most developed nations are not producing enough babies to support their elderly populations, making immigration the necessary solution. 1953

In Cute-E, we choose cuddlier critters and discuss how they – or something like them – could evolve here on Earth, pulling inspiration from real-world species across our planet's history. This year's theme is Monsters of Nintendo. This episode, we pluck precious partners from the soil. What could be the evolutionary background of tiny and colorful workers that blend the features of plants and animals? Our creatures to create this time: Pikmin.

Roy Leyva joins The Saltwater Edge to unpack a lifetime of fishing across fresh and salt. We talk Boston roots, 500-plus species, world-record catches from Jamaica Pond, and the universal toolkit of soft plastics and jigs. Roy explains cadence, structure, and why asking "why" beats chasing spots. We finish with the fish he would pick for one last day on Earth. Highlights include the world-record koi and landlocked salmon story in Boston and a practical breakdown of lures that work anywhere.

The Galaxy is vast. Much lurks in the depths of the dark between the stars, that can be difficult for simple spacers to explain. Phenomena that defies reason, creatures that would make even the toughest spacer squirm. After all, the galaxy is a big place, it can be full of wonder and horror…and in the vastness of space, nobody can hear you scream.

Species (1995) — Sexy, slimy, and scientifically suspect, Species crashes onto the screen with H.R. Giger creature designs, government scientists in panic mode, and a half-alien femme fatale on the loose. We're diving into the film's weird mix of horror, sci-fi, and skinemax energy — breaking down its bonkers plot, surprising cast, and whether it's smarter (or dumber) than it thinks. Is it B-movie brilliance or just hot nonsense with tentacles? Let's find out.

Generally speaking, it's not a good idea to mess with ants. But several lineages of animals have evolved to be ant-eating specialists. This episode, we discuss anteaters, the suite of adaptations that allow them to focus on ant-eating, and the variety of other species that have evolved similar adaptations for the same purpose. We explore the evolutionary history of ant-eating mammals and even dinosaurs through the fossil record and genetic evidence. In the news: butt-drags, ancient leeches, Neanderthal tracks, and spider genomes.

Green sea turtle conservation shows us what's possible when people, policy, and passion align. Once nearly wiped out by overharvesting and habitat loss, the green sea turtle has made an inspiring recovery after decades of global protection. In this episode, Andrew Lewin shares a deeply personal story of encountering a turtle nest in Florida with his daughters and reflects on how that moment connects to today's IUCN Red List update. But while the turtle story offers hope, the latest report warns of darker trends. Arctic seals like the harp, hooded, and bearded seals are now at greater risk as melting sea ice robs them of essential habitat, and 61 percent of the world's bird species are in decline due to deforestation, agriculture, invasive species, and climate change. Andrew breaks down how the balance between success and loss reveals both the fragility of nature and the power of sustained conservation. This episode isn't just about wildlife; it's about people choosing to act. Andrew explains how individual and collective choices—from voting and policy advocacy to supporting community-based conservation—can determine which species recover and which fade away.

Some scientists looking to preserve vulnerable species have turned to a controversial technique: synthetic biology. This catchall term often means genetic engineering – introducing new genes to an organism. And a recent narrow vote by the International Union for Conservation of Nature on using the technology shows how divided scientists are on the issue of releasing genetically altered species. Science correspondent Nate Rott wades into the debate with us and reveals whether or not the Union voted to place a moratorium on releasing gene-edited species.Read more of Nate's reporting on the topic.  Interested in more science debates?
