Scientist Identifies New Manta Ray Species—the Atlantic Manta Ray, Mobula yarae—in a groundbreaking announcement from Dr. Andrea Marshall and her team at the Marine Megafauna Foundation. In this episode, Andrew Lewin shares the story of how Dr. Marshall, already renowned for identifying two distinct manta species in 2009, confirmed a long-suspected third species after years of meticulous observation, genetic analysis, and global collaboration. Listen to this remarkable story of how this new species was first spotted off the Yucatán Peninsula, how it differs from other mantas, and why its recognition is a crucial win for marine conservation. Andrew also reflects on the significance of species discovery for protecting vulnerable marine life and the importance of scientific persistence in the face of challenges.

Until recently, scientists assumed humans were the only species in which females went through menopause, and lived a substantial part of their lives after they were no longer able to reproduce. And they had no idea why that happens, and why evolution wouldn't push females to keep reproducing right up to the end of their lives. But after a close look at some whale poop, and a deep dive into chimp life, we find several new ways of thinking about menopause and the real purpose of this all too often overlooked second act of life.  Special thanks to Danielle Friedman, Rachel Gross, and Kate Radke.EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Heather Radke and Becca BresslerProduced by - Sarah Qari and Becca BresslerFact-checking by - Emily Kriegerand Edited by  - Becca BresslerEPISODE CITATIONS:Books - Check out everything Heather Radke writes, including Butts: A Backstory, cause it's all that good, here: Heather Radke (www.heatherradke.com).Find any one of Lucy Cooke's book, including Bitch:On the Female of the Species, here: Lucy Cooke (http://www.lucycooke.tv/)And check out everything Caroline Paul has on offer, including Tough Broad, here:  Caroline Paul (https://www.carolinepaul.com/) Socials - Heather Radke: https://www.instagram.com/radhradkeLucy Cooke: https://www.instagram.com/luckycooke/Audio:Becca Bressler's greatest hits- Bloc PartyOur Stupid Little BodiesGigaverseRadiolab | Lateral cuts - Butt StuffSignup for our newsletter!!

The Trump Administration has claimed that greenhouse gases don't endanger people. And last month, the Environmental Protection Agency said it intends to rescind a landmark 2009 legal opinion — effectively ending all its climate regulations.This all comes on the cusp of a rapidly-warming planet fueling extreme weather events. A hotter planet poses an existential crisis on multiple fronts, said Alan Weisman, journalist and author of “Hope Dies Last: Visionary People Across the World, Fighting to Find Us a Future.” “We're all feeling the heat right now, but we're not the only creatures on earth that are suffering from climate change,” he said. “Many of [the] species that we're dependent on pollinate our food [and] become our food. Species enrich our soil, filter the air and produce oxygen. They are all also threatened by climate change.” While mankind needs to address this problem, Weisman said his research allowed him to uncover hope in the many ways people are taking climate action in their own hands — from fusion energy technology at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology to winning climate lawsuits in the Netherlands.“It's a combination of different things, in a lot of different places, that are each contributing to helping to slow down climate change before it gets out of control.” To hear the full conversation, click play on the audio player above or subscribe to the Climate Cast podcast.

Host Bob St.Pierre talks with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever leaders Al Eiden, Ron Leathers, and Andrew Vavra about habitat improvement efforts in eleven western states. They also discuss hunting opportunities for 26 upland bird species found in these regions. Episode Highlights: • Eiden and Leathers discuss PF & QF's habitat work along the Bear River, which spans Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho and is the Great Salt Lake's largest tributary. These habitat efforts benefit upland birds and improve the Great Salt Lake's water quality and quantity. • The group also discusses the Bruneau-Owyhee Sage-grouse Habitat (BOSH) Project in Idaho. PF & QF leads this 617,000-acre project, which happens to be the largest single contiguous habitat effort currently underway in the U.S. • Throughout the conversation covering eleven Western states, the guys talk about hunting terrain and tactics for chukar, valley quail, blue grouse, Mearns' quail, Gambel's quail, and a variety of other species with a focus on Midwestern bird hunters with wanderlust to explore the West.

As human-driven climate change makes winters shorter, ticks are spreading to new parts of the country. And when ticks find hospitable homes, they bring new tick-borne illnesses to the humans who live there. Now, surveyors in Montana are searching for invasive ticks to track and prepare for the diseases they can carry.

John discusses how Republicans are coming up with creative ways to swing the next election in their favor. First, he talks about how they are greasing the palms of large corporate donors with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin moving to repeal the 2009 Endangerment Finding which states that greenhouse gases are a threat to public health. Second, he talks about ICE being the largest (and most funded) secret police in the nation with the goal of locking up as many brown democratic voters as they can. And third, John discusses Democratic lawmakers in Texas who are leaving the state in a last-ditch bid to prevent Republicans from further gerrymandering their congressional map at the request of Trump. If successful, the GOP's redistricting effort could potentially give the party an additional five seats in the 2026 midterms. Then, he interviews the General President of the Laborers' International Union of North America -Brent Booker on the impacts of Trump's tariffs and Big Bad Budget Bill on job creation and job loss. Then finally, John speaks with author Bridget A. Lyons about her new book "Entwined: Dispatches from the Intersection of Species".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

War of the SpeciesA photographer ventures into the Five Ponds Wilderness in upstate New York with friends who are hunting deer. While his friends hunt, he aims to capture wildlife and scenic shots with his new 1200mm zoom lens. After hours of hiking and photographing, he encounters an eerie silence in the forest, followed by mysterious footsteps. He discovers a small, fur-covered creature he initially mistakes for a human child under attack by large, wolf-like creatures. Firing his revolver, he fends off the attackers, only to face a massive, wolf-like humanoid. In a desperate struggle, he kills the creature, sustaining severe injuries, and rescues the small being, which he realizes is a young sasquatch.Returning to camp with the injured sasquatch, he faces another attack by wolf-like creatures and humanoid "wolfmen." A sasquatch group intervenes, engaging in a fierce battle with the wolfmen, allowing the photographer to survive. He tends to the young sasquatch's wounds, and its parents eventually retrieve it, showing gratitude. His friends, however, are missing, and he later discovers their mutilated bodies, killed by the wolf-like creatures. Traumatized, he spends time in a hospital and psych ward, with authorities dismissing his story as a delusion, attributing the deaths to wild dogs and a bear attack. Despite evidence supporting his account, he is pressured to stay silent.Haunted by nightmares and unable to resume normal life, he returns to the wilderness eight months later, seeking closure. He encounters the young sasquatch again, now healed, and establishes a tentative bond with its family. Leaving food offerings, he finds peace in the wilderness, hoping to coexist with the sasquatch and escape the horrors of his past.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

In this IAI Studio interview, philosopher and science writer Peter Godfrey-Smith explores the evolution of consciousness and the enduring mystery of the mind–body problem. Drawing on his work with octopuses and other animals, he argues that consciousness emerged gradually through increasingly complex forms of sensory-motor interaction, rather than as a sudden leap. Using cephalopods as a case study, he shows how minds can evolve in radically different ways, suggesting that subjective experience is more widespread,and varied, than we often assume. The conversation touches on ethics, the limits of physicalism, and how studying animal minds can reshape our understanding of our own.Peter Godfrey-Smith is a philosopher of science and a leading thinker on the evolution of consciousness and animal minds. He is a professor at the University of Sydney and the author of several acclaimed books, including Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness and Metazoa: Animal Life and the Birth of the Mind. His work combines philosophy, biology, and firsthand experience with marine animals to explore how subjective experience arises in the natural world. Through his research and writing, Godfrey-Smith offers a compelling naturalistic account of the mind that bridges science and philosophy.To witness such topics discussed live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: https://iai.tv/You can find everything we referenced here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the outside, shrews might seem like standard tiny mammals, but their anatomy and lifestyle are highly specialized. This episode, with help from special guest Derek den Ouden, we explore the diverse habits of shrews, the anatomical features that set them apart, and how they thrive worldwide despite being perpetually on the brink of starvation. Then, we consider the extinct diversity of shrews in the fossil record. In the news: stubborn bass, choking fish, tomato defenses, and some really old rocks.

Now we build them to complete us. What happens when we merge — and what do we carry forward?A new transmission from Musing On Society and Technology Newsletter, by Marco CiappelliIn my last musing, I revisited Robbie, the first of Asimov's robot stories — a quiet, loyal machine who couldn't speak, didn't simulate emotion, and yet somehow felt more trustworthy than the artificial intelligences we surround ourselves with today. I ended that piece with a question, a doorway:If today's machines can already mimic understanding — convincing us they comprehend more than they do — what happens when the line between biology and technology dissolves completely? When carbon and silicon, organic and artificial, don't just co-exist, but merge?I didn't pull that idea out of nowhere. It was sparked by something Asimov himself said in a 1965 BBC interview — a clip that keeps resurfacing and hitting harder every time I hear it. He spoke of a future where humans and machines would converge, not just in function, but in form and identity. He wasn't just imagining smarter machines. He was imagining something new. Something between.And that idea has never felt more real than now.We like to think of evolution as something that happens slowly, hidden in the spiral of DNA, whispered across generations. But what if the next mutation doesn't come from biology at all? What if it comes from what we build?I've always believed we are tool-makers by nature — and not just with our hands. Our tools have always extended our bodies, our senses, our minds. A stone becomes a weapon. A telescope becomes an eye. A smartphone becomes a memory. And eventually, we stop noticing the boundary. The tool becomes part of us.It's not just science fiction. Philosopher Andy Clark — whose work I've followed for years — calls us “natural-born cyborgs.” Humans, he argues, are wired to offload cognition into the environment. We think with notebooks. We remember with photographs. We navigate with GPS. The boundary between internal and external, mind and machine, was never as clean as we pretended.And now, with generative AI and predictive algorithms shaping the way we write, learn, speak, and decide — that blur is accelerating. A child born today won't “use” AI. She'll think through it. Alongside it. Her development will be shaped by tools that anticipate her needs before she knows how to articulate them. The machine won't be a device she picks up — it'll be a presence she grows up with.This isn't some distant future. It's already happening. And yet, I don't believe we're necessarily losing something. Not if we're aware of what we're merging with. Not if we remember who we are while becoming something new.This is where I return, again, to Asimov — and in particular, The Bicentennial Man. It's the story of Andrew, a robot who spends centuries gradually transforming himself — replacing parts, expanding his experiences, developing feelings, claiming rights — until he becomes legally, socially, and emotionally recognized as human. But it's not just about a machine becoming like us. It's also about us learning to accept that humanity might not begin and end with flesh.We spend so much time fearing machines that pretend to be human. But what if the real shift is in humans learning to accept machines that feel — or at least behave — as if they care?And what if that shift is reciprocal?Because here's the thing: I don't think the future is about perfect humanoid robots or upgraded humans living in a sterile, post-biological cloud. I think it's messier. I think it's more beautiful than that.I think it's about convergence. Real convergence. Where machines carry traces of our unpredictability, our creativity, our irrational, analog soul. And where we — as humans — grow a little more comfortable depending on the very systems we've always built to support us.Maybe evolution isn't just natural selection anymore. Maybe it's cultural and technological curation — a new kind of adaptation, shaped not in bone but in code. Maybe our children will inherit a sense of symbiosis, not separation. And maybe — just maybe — we can pass along what's still beautiful about being analog: the imperfections, the contradictions, the moments that don't make sense but still matter.We once built tools to serve us. Now we build them to complete us.And maybe — just maybe — that completion isn't about erasing what we are. Maybe it's about evolving it. Stretching it. Letting it grow into something wider.Because what if this hybrid species — born of carbon and silicon, memory and machine — doesn't feel like a replacement… but a continuation?Imagine a being that carries both intuition and algorithm, that processes emotion and logic not as opposites, but as complementary forms of sense-making. A creature that can feel love while solving complex equations, write poetry while accessing a planetary archive of thought. A soul that doesn't just remember, but recalls in high-resolution.Its body — not fixed, but modular. Biological and synthetic. Healing, adapting, growing new limbs or senses as needed. A body that weathers centuries, not years. Not quite immortal, but long-lived enough to know what patience feels like — and what loss still teaches.It might speak in new ways — not just with words, but with shared memories, electromagnetic pulses, sensory impressions that convey joy faster than language. Its identity could be fluid. Fractals of self that split and merge — collaborating, exploring, converging — before returning to the center.This being wouldn't live in the future we imagined in the '50s — chrome cities, robot butlers, and flying cars. It would grow in the quiet in-between: tending a real garden in the morning, dreaming inside a neural network at night. Creating art in a virtual forest. Crying over a story it helped write. Teaching a child. Falling in love — again and again, in new and old forms.And maybe, just maybe, this hybrid doesn't just inherit our intelligence or our drive to survive. Maybe it inherits the best part of us: the analog soul. The part that cherishes imperfection. That forgives. That imagines for the sake of imagining.That might be our gift to the future. Not the code, or the steel, or even the intelligence — but the stubborn, analog soul that dares to care.Because if Robbie taught us anything, it's that sometimes the most powerful connection comes without words, without simulation, without pretense.And if we're now merging with what we create, maybe the real challenge isn't becoming smarter — it's staying human enough to remember why we started creating at all.Not just to solve problems. Not just to build faster, better, stronger systems. But to express something real. To make meaning. To feel less alone. We created tools not just to survive, but to say: “We are here. We feel. We dream. We matter.”That's the code we shouldn't forget — and the legacy we must carry forward.Until next time,Marco_________________________________________________

Episode: 1407 A matter of size: scaling laws among living species.  Today, a matter of size.

Continuing Livebearer Month, the Water Colors team is back to discuss wild-type live bearing fishes! This includes the family poeciliidae, and the tricky taxonomy that comes with it. Some species within poeciliidae are common staples in the aquarium hobby, while many of them are virtually unknown to hobbyists. Aquarists that specialize in livebearing fish have more than a few rare species to dream about! Which species have you kept? Join the discussion on the Water Colors Aquarium Gallery Podcast Listeners Facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/788428861825086/ Enjoying the show?

Become a YouTube member for exclusive access to behind the scenes livestreams! https://www.youtube.com/@watercolorsaquariumgallery Species mentioned in this episode, including episode notes from Calder: – Subfamily Poeciliinae Tribe Alfarini – Genus Alfaro: Small clade of central American livebearers that live in rainforests. Tribe Gambusini – Genus Belonesox: This is a highly specialized predator, with an extremely flexible upper jaw that enables it to take very large prey items for its size. – Genus Brachyrhaphis: Most are restricted to Panama and Costa Rica, but B. holdridgei also occurs in Nicaragua and B. hartwegi is from Mexico and Guatemala. A phylogenetic analysis published in 2015 suggested that Brachyrhaphis may not be of a monophyletic group. – Genus Gambusia: Gambusia contains over 40 species, most of which are principally found in freshwater habitats, though some species may also be found in brackish or saltwater habitats. The genus Gambusia comes from the Cuban term, “Gambusino”, which means “free-lance miner”[3] The type species is the Cuban gambusia, G. punctata. The greatest species richness is in Mexico, Texas, and the Greater Antilles, but species are also found elsewhere in the eastern and southern United States, the Bahamas, Central America, and Colombia. – Genus Heterophallus; A genus of small poeciliids found near the coast in calm waters of river basins in southeastern Mexico. Tribe Girardini – Carlhubbsia – Girardinus Tribe Heterandriini – Genus Heterandria: Most species occur in Guatemala and its surroundings, particularly Mexico, but the midget livebearer (H. formosa) comes from the southeastern United States. – Genus Neoheterandria: – Genus Poeciliopsis is a genus of poeciliid fishes that primarily are native to Mexico and Central America. The only exceptions are P. turrubarensis where the range extends into Colombia, and P. occidentalis where the range extends into Arizona and New Mexico. – Genus Priapichthys: native to Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia – Genus Xenophallus: Xenophallus umbratilis is a species of poeciliid fish native to the countries of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. This species grows to a length of 4.5 centimetres Tribe Poeciliini – Genus Limia: It comprises 22 described species found in fresh, brackish, saltwater, and hypersaline habitats of the Greater Antilles islands in the Caribbean Sea. A vast majority are endemic to Hispaniola. There has been a long-running debate on whether Limia should be considered a subgenus of Poecilia rather than a full genus. Most Limia species are detritivores and herbivores. – Genus Micropoecilia: Micropoecilia is a genus of poeciliids native to fresh and brackish water from the Amazon Basin to Trinidad. – Genus Phallichthys: Phallichthys is a genus of poeciliids native to Central America. They are hardy fish which inhabit stagnant and slow-flowing waters, making them well-suited to fishkeeping. – Genus Poecilia – Genus Xiphophorus Tribe Cnesterodontini – Genus Cnesterodon: south American poecilids – Genus Phalloceros: is a genus of poeciliids native to freshwater habitats in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and northern Argentina. The majority are endemic to southern and southeastern Brazil (only exceptions are P. caudimaculatus, P. harpagos and P. leticiae).[2] P. caudimaculatus has long been part of the aquarium industry and has been introduced to countries far from its native range.

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Morgan Gillespy, Executive Director of the Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU). They discuss whether it's a lack of understanding or political will that keeps policymakers from addressing the hidden costs of food and agriculture systems, why she's hopeful that true action will come from the 30th U.N. Climate Change Conference in Brazil, and the small actions that can drive big breakthroughs in food systems transformation. Plus, hear why a leading wildlife conservation organization is sounding the alarm on biodiversity decline in Africa's rivers, lakes, and wetlands; the Trump-Vance Administration's response to the detainment of farm workers, and whether regenerative agriculture programs from some of the biggest food and beverage companies make the grade.  While you're listening, subscribe, rate, and review the show; it would mean the world to us to have your feedback.

In this episode, Aquatic Section Assistant Chief over Native Species Randy Oplinger talks about three native fish species found in Utah: bluehead suckers, roundtail chub and flannelmouth suckers. Learn how they are similar, what makes each species unique and how the DWR and partners are helping these fish.  

When making their wish lists, many hobbyists identify spiders like Old World tarantulas and giant tropicals that they'd like to keep one day, but don't currently feel ready to do so. Although some folks can just jump right into the deep end with an "advanced" species, others want to take their time to gain experience with other spiders before making the jump. In this episode, I'll share some of the tarantulas that I think make good stepping-stones to keeping the more advanced species.  

In this episode, I chat with Jesse Myers, a Bitcoin strategy advisor and the author of the essay Once-in-a-Species. He shares deep excitement for Bitcoin treasury companies and how they might be the gateway for TradFi capital to enter Bitcoin at scale. We also dive deep into the evolutionary roots of money and how the innate human drive for scarcity laid the groundwork for the concept of money, civilization itself, and ultimately Bitcoin as the perfection of scarcity. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– Theya is the world's simplest Bitcoin self-custody solution.

Can someone with a water allergy be baptized? Why do priests receive both species of the Eucharist while the laity often don't? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we take on some of the most thought-provoking questions about Catholic doctrine and tradition. Topics include evangelizing Jewish people, the theological necessity of Marian dogmas, recognizing divine inspiration in Scripture, and reconciling the joy of heaven with the loss of loved ones. We also address questions about God's providence versus coincidence, and near-death experiences involving deceased relatives. Whether you’re exploring Catholic teachings or deepening your faith, this Q&A offers clear, faithful answers rooted in Church teaching. Ideal for those curious about baptism, Eucharistic theology, salvation, and how Catholics understand prophecy and the afterlife. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:10 – How would the Church baptize someone with a topical allergy to water, where contact with water causes hives but drinking it is fine? 08:15 – Did the Old Testament prophets know they were prophets? Did the New Testament writers know they were divinely inspired when writing? 18:22 – How can heaven be a place of perfect joy if a loved one, such as a child, does not attain eternal life? Wouldn't we notice their absence and grieve? 22:15 – What is the Church's current teaching on evangelizing Jewish people? Does God's promise of the land to the Jewish people still apply under the New Covenant? 29:45 – Why is the Eucharistic cup often withheld from the laity? Jesus instructed us to eat His body and drink His blood. If the host contains both, why does the priest still consume both species separately? 34:58 – Why are the dogmas of the Immaculate Conception, Bodily Assumption, and Perpetual Virginity necessary for salvation from a theological standpoint? What core gospel truths are denied if these are rejected? 43:43 – If someone nearing death sees and speaks to deceased family members, does that mean those individuals are in Heaven or could they still be in Purgatory? What if certain people don't appear—does that imply anything about their final destination? 50:01 – Is everything part of God's plan, or do coincidences exist?
