Podcasts about vampire bats

On this episode we watch 2005's The Descent. A year after tragedy strikes, a group of friends discover something far worse in the deep caverns of the Appalachian Mountains. This spelunking splatter fest is a contender for many titles, including best horror movie of the 2000s, most objectionable thing to watch for anybody with even the slightest claustrophobia, and having maybe one of the worst best friends in all of horror movie history. Listen up as we also thoroughly debate the appropriate moniker of Vampire Bats vs. Crawlers in this modern horror classic.Other topics include reflecting on the recent loss of Val Kilmer, visiting with Jim Jarmusch, pivotal David Lynch L.A. landmarks, Days of the Dead Chicago, found footage influence in the early 2000s, and the 90s forgotten gem Rumpelstiltskin on 4K.Songs of the WeekFuck and Run by Liz PhairBy the Light of the Silvery Moon by Little RichardRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

VI har dykket ned i flaggermusens underlige verden. Hvordan kan det ha seg at flaggermusen er bærer av (og tilsynelatende lever uaffisert med) en så lang rekke livsfarlige infeksjonssykdommer? Vi har fordypet oss i litteraturen og har dessuten snakket med forsker og virolog Irene Ørpetveit ved Veterinærinstituttet. Velkommen til en episode om flaggermusens mysterier!Referanser:1.

Did you know that vampire bats are the only mammals that feed entirely on blood? These little guys are mostly found in Latin America and have some creepy yet fascinating habits. They sneak up on their prey at night, usually livestock, and use their sharp teeth to make a tiny cut to lap up the blood. Despite their scary reputation, their bite is usually not harmful to the animal, though they can sometimes spread diseases like rabies. And here's a weird twist: they have a social side too, often sharing blood meals with their bat buddies! #brightside Credit: CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

Tric and Heppa make an appeal to Lord Knutan, leader of the Untdunben dwarves. Scene 10Scene 11 GM Notes Several units from the Battle for Wesnoth video game make an appearance in this arc. The party was attacked by Vampire Bats. Mari-Elin is a Footpad. Trigadur is a Dwarvish Thunderguard. And Lord Knutan, not only is he a Dwarvish Lord unit, but he's actually a character from Eastern Invasion, where he makes an appearance in Scenario 2. One of the fun things about making an RPG campaign from the video game was picking out little pieces of lore here and there that could inspire far more elaborate events at our table. This episode also introduces the bard Glammur. Their importance to the campaign is reflected in their inclusion in our group character portrait, where they can be seen sitting on the right. Their look was inspired by the Dwarvish Explorer unit. The map we refer to (by me!) can be found here.

Sometimes finding hope requires shifting our gaze from humanity. In this episode of Book Dreams, we take an up-close and uplifting look at the four-eyed spook fish, the great gray owl, the star-nosed mole, and even the bloodthirsty vampire bat. Our guest, Jackie Higgins–author of Sentient: How Animals Illuminate the Wonder of Our Human Senses–shares riveting details about the sensory capabilities of these animals: the great gray owl's soundlessness and uncanny hearing, for instance; the spook fish's ability to see in the lightless depths of the ocean; the star-nosed mole's lightning-fast touch. Jackie explains, too, how a consideration of the sensory capabilities of these creatures helps us, in turn, better understand similar talents that often lie dormant within us. Finally, we talk with Jackie about how an in-depth knowledge of the sensory capacities of other animals is helping scientists who are grappling with issues like noise pollution and sustainable development. Jackie Higgins is a science writer whose first book, Sentient: How Animals Illuminate the Wonder of Our Human Senses, was deemed a “masterpiece of science and nature writing” by The Washington Post. A graduate of Oxford University with an MA in zoology, Jackie has worked for Oxford Scientific Films for over a decade, as well as for National Geographic, PBS Nova, and the Discovery Channel. She has also written, directed, and produced films at the BBC Science Department. Find us on Twitter (@bookdreamspod) and Instagram (@bookdreamspodcast), or email us at contact@bookdreamspodcast.com.

How Vampire Bats Evolved To Drink Blood Vampire bats subsist solely on blood: In technical terms, they're what's called “obligate sanguivores.” And the three species of vampire bats are the only mammals to have ever evolved this particular diet. Living on blood is hard work. Blood is a low-calorie food with a lot of water volume, and very little of it is fat or carbohydrates. To survive this lifestyle, vampire bats have made numerous physical adaptations—stretchy stomachs, tricks to deal with high amounts of iron, even specialized social systems related to sharing food. But how, genetically, did they manage it? Guest host John Dankosky talks to Dr. Michael Hiller, co-author on new research published this week in Science Advances looking at some of the specific genes vampire bats lost in order to gain these unique abilities.   Difficult Brain Science Brings Difficult Ethical Questions In recent weeks, we've told you about efforts to explore and map the human brain through tissue donations, and the troubling tale of a bionic eye implant startup that left users without tech support. The two stories point to different aspects of the rapidly advancing field of neuroscience—and each comes with its own set of ethical questions. As humans advance in their ability to understand, interpret, and even modify the human brain, what ethical controls are in place to protect patients, guide research, and ensure equitable access to neural technologies? John Dankosky talks with neurotech ethicist and strategist Karen Rommelfanger, the founder of the Institute of Neuroethics Think and Do Tank, about some of the big ethical questions in neuroscience—and how the field might try to address the challenges of this emerging technology.   The Brief And Wondrous Lives Of The Cicada The Staten Island Museum in New York has been home to the eye-catching room full of insect art since 2021's emergence of the Brood X cicadas. In bell jars and cabinet drawers and under glass display cases, colorful cicadas from species around the world participate in scenes of human-like activities—they read miniature books, arrange dried flowers, create textile art, converse with animal skulls, lounge on and in jelly jars, and more. It's all part of artist Jennifer Angus' exhibition “Magicicada,” an homage to our reliance on the insect world. Producer Christie Taylor talks to Angus and Staten Island Museum entomologist Colleen Evans about the wonder of insects. Plus, how art and science can complement each other and teach even the most bug-shy visitor to appreciate the natural world.

TEETH! Fangs! Dracula! Blood! Ferocious aquatic murderers! Both piranhas and vampire bats have become innocent victims to the horrible rumors that have been set upon them by old white men of the past.  For the month of Halloween we look at the traditional Halloween and spooky animals that have been dubbed blood thirsty, flesh eating, viscous monsters! I mean, yes piranhas do eat meat, but not just meat, they're omnivores (mostly)! And as for vampire bats...well....that one is harder as they do only drink blood....that's it....only blood. But by listening to this special Halloween episode you will learn that there really isn't a reason to fear these wonderfully weird animals who are actually very good at sharing. And only found in Central and South America. Scientific Names are Hard:"Vegetarian Piranha:" Tometes camunaniRed-Bellied Piranha: Pygocentrus nattereriCommon Vampire Bat: Desmondus rotundusWhite winged Vampire Bat: Diaemus youngiHairy legged Vampire Bat: Diphylla ecaudataInstagram @wafpodcasttiktok @wafpodcastEmail: wafpodcastexplicit@gmail.com**NEW FACEBOOK PAGE**Facebook: "Weird Animal Facts: Explicit" Support the show (https://www.ko-fi.com/wafpodcast)

Choosing the next U.S. president is not the only decision voters will make in the upcoming 2020 elections. Major science policies are also on the ballot. In some states, people will be casting votes on propositions that influence scientific research and the environment. While in other local elections, candidates with scientific backgrounds are in the running for public office. Jeffrey Mervis of Science Magazine talks about California stem cell research policies and Nevada renewable energy propositions, and how a science platform could help or harm candidates. Plus, this election season has been filled with disinformation—unverified stories of voter fraud, rumors of uncounted and tossed out mail-in ballots, claims of third parties hacking voter results, and other false information. And with possible delayed election results due to the overwhelming number of absentee ballots, driven in part by COVID, there could be even more of this disinformation spread before the final polls are announced. Disinformation expert Deen Freelon discusses how these unverified and fake news stories take hold. Freelon also provides techniques on how to decipher fact from fiction in your overfilled news feeds. Relatedly, the November election will likely have big consequences for climate policy in the United States. It comes at a critical time. Scientists say major action is needed by 2030 to avoid the worst effects of global warming. President Donald Trump does not have a climate policy. His administration has rolled back Obama-era climate initiatives. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is promising to put the country on a path toward a 100% clean energy economy and net-zero emissions from the U.S. no later than 2050. Polls show about 70% of Pennsylvanians want their state lawmakers to do more to address climate change. But polls rarely carry examples of what actions people want. A recent StateImpact survey shows Pennsylvanians want a lot — from state and federal lawmakers. The one-question survey attracted responses from more than 200 people, who asked for everything from specific policy proposals such as Pennsylvania’s entrance into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and the Green New Deal, to desperate pleas such as “listen to science!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” (Read the full piece at ScienceFriday.com.) And it’s almost Halloween, which means it’s time to get a little spooky. A perfect time for the newest installment of our Charismatic Creature Corner! This month, we’re diving into the wild world of vampire bats. These little mammals are native to Central and South America, and have bodies about the size of a mouse.  And yes, let’s address the elephant in the room: Vampire bats have a diet that consists entirely of blood. They gravitate toward livestock, but have been known to feed on people too. Their status as blood-suckers makes them one of the only mammals classified as parasites. Despite their gruesome diets, vampire bats are extremely social creatures, and are known to display acts of friendships with other bats. In fact, a study last year found that vampire bat friendships forged in captivity actually last when the bats are released into the wild. Friendships are important for vampire bats: They result in food sharing, which is integral to keeping everyone fed and happy. Science Friday’s Charismatic Creature Correspondent, producer Kathleen Davis, is back to convince Ira that this creature is worthy of entry into the Charismatic Creature Corner Hall of Fame. Joining them is Dan Riskin, an evolutionary biologist and adjunct professor of biology at the University of Toronto, Mississauga.

Scientists say that it’s most likely that Covid-19 originated in Bats.  If that is the case, you can add it to a list which features the likes of SARS in China 2003, Rabies in Peru in 2006 and Ebola in West Africa in 2013. So what is it about Bats that results in them transmitting so many deadly viruses to humans and what can we do about it?

When vampire bats feel sick, they still engage in prosocial acts such as sharing food with nonrelatives. But they cut back on grooming anyone other than their closest kin.

Bartonella are globally distributed bacteria that can cause endocarditis in humans and domestic animals.

Our un-evolved politicians are attacking each other across the globe, but you can safely ignore that for a few minutes to ponder this: just how did vampire bats evolve to live on a diet of blood alone?

Scientists have discovered how vampire bats can survive on a blood-only diet. Neil and Catherine teach you the language the world's media is using to discuss this story

Dr. Dan Riskin is the host of the Animal Planet show about parasitic infections, Monsters Inside Me, and he also hosts a nightly science show broadcast in Canada, The Daily Planet. Dr. Riskin studied vampire bats while earning his Ph.D., and to this day is still bat crazy. His career promoting science for general audiences and his entertaining and enthusiastic personality have led him to be a guest on various late night talk shows, and he is the author of the book “Mother Nature is Trying to Kill You”. Dr. Riskin discusses various topics ranging from his bot fly infection, to the thrill of watching bats emerge from a cave, and touching on how to communicate science to a general audience, will make you want to keep listening! The MicroCase for listeners to solve is about SouthEast Carwashian, a celebrity who gets a mysterious disease while spending time in a remote village filming an episode for her reality TV show.

Speaker: Vince Klassen I want to talk this week about community. Not about how we might have misused community in the past. Not how to build more community. But about who is truly part of our community. And who is not. And the core concept for who is or is not in our community can be seen in the actions of the vampire bat community in central America. I know, “really Vince, you are going to talk about Vampire Bats and somehow make that about community??” And the answer is yes:) seeing how its Halloween and all, I think they are a perfect story topic!! So to prepare yourself for this message, take a moment to think about who you would list as part of your community? Friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, who would you list as part of your community? And then ask yourself, why those people? What about your interaction makes them part of your community? See you Sunday. Reference Materials: Vampire bats Reciprocity in Vampire bats

VAMPIRE BATS! Peru is apparently full... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

How vampire bats home in on the jugular, why some depressions look like expressions and the world's scientific healdines of the week.

We'll find out how vampire bats home in on hot blood in this week's NewsFlash! Also, we explore the idea that Earth once had two moons, find out how researchers are making functioning brain cells from adult skin cells, and celebrate the first men to visit Jupiter, as NASA launches the Juno mission with its crew of three Lego men...

Once vampire bats came out of their caves by the millions to discharge their civic duty.

In this show, we're going to salute Vampire Bats. This special Halloween Extended Edition has a mad chemist skit, science news, facts, and the songs Vampire Bat Rap and All-Mixed Up. By The Singing Science Teacher. Approx. 25 min. For all ages. Visit my websites scienceonthewildside.com, singingscienceteacher.com, and cavecritter.com for more fun songs and how to order my cds (at cdbaby.com/cd/rickquarles, cdbaby.com/cd/rickquarles2, and cdbaby.com/cd/rickquarles3). Check out my podcast/blog page at scienceonthewildsideshow.libsyn.com for more podcasts and to leave comments. Donations of any amount are gladly accepted. This podcast will be biweekly and should be posted by every other Monday (next show on Nov. 13th).

1. Within the tonotopic organization of the inferior colliculus two frequency ranges are well represented: a frequency range within that of the echolocation signals from 50 to 100 kHz, and a frequency band below that of the echolocation sounds, from 10 to 35 kHz. The frequency range between these two bands, from about 40 to 50 kHz is distinctly underrepresented (Fig. 3B). 2. Units with BFs in the lower frequency range (10–25 kHz) were most sensitive with thresholds of -5 to -11 dB SPL, and units with BFs within the frequency range of the echolocation signals had minimal thresholds around 0 dB SPL (Fig. 1). 3. In the medial part of the rostral inferior colliculus units were encountered which preferentially or exclusively responded to noise stimuli. — Seven neurons were found which were only excited by human breathing noises and not by pure tones, frequency modulated signals or various noise bands. These neurons were considered as a subspeciality of the larger sample of noise-sensitive neurons. — The maximal auditory sensitivity in the frequency range below that of echolocation, and the conspicuous existence of noise and breathing-noise sensitive units in the inferior colliculus are discussed in context with the foraging behavior of vampire bats.
