Bees are the heavy lifters in the pollination world, but NOT the honey bees that so many of us think of! It's native bees, with over 20,000 species worldwide, that are CRITICAL pollinators.Here we explore bee diversity including bumblebees, carpenter bees, longhorn bees, mining bees, sweat bees, and leaf-cutter bees - each with unique characteristics and roles in nature.Also, you'll learn that you can contribute to REAL science by using Project BudBurst to understand the impacts of climate change on pollinators and plants.Don't forget to subscribe for more fun and educational content, and join the Wildlife Biology for Kids Club for exclusive worksheets and interaction with me and like-minded parents! Are you a parent wanting to get your kids outside and learning about wildlife?

Send us a textThis week on the Montana Outdoor podcast your host Downrigger Dale has an amazing conversation with two of the preeminent wildlife biology researchers in the Country! They are located right here in Montana ln the University of Montana Wildlife Biology program. This is one of the highest ranked wildlife biology schools in the Country, if not the world. Rigger talked with Dr. Chad Bishop who is the Director of the program at the U of M and Dr. Andrew Whiteley who is a faculty member there at the U of M Wildlife Biology program and leads a lab focusing on conservation genetics of fish throughout Western North America! Rigger, Chad and Andrew covered some unreal topics. For example, Andrew is doing some amazing research he is, in essence, finding ways the problems caused by inbreeding in trout populations. An age old-problem that began as fish got isolated into certain areas. His work could change the future of endangered fish. His and Chad's research could go way beyond that to maybe even stop the spread of diseases in many other animals like Deer, Elk and Antelope! Chad, Andrew, other faculty and the students are working on much more as well at University of Montana. Of course, as always good old Downrigger had to push the edge of the envelope at, one point he steered the discussion into how AI is being used to help speed up research, of course thinking surely AI has not made its way into working with wildlife yet. Ooooh yes it has! Dr Bishop gave a perfect example of how he is using AI in his ungulate studies (deer, elk, antelope, etc.). You have to hear about this! They even got into the idea of possibly using gene of gene editing to help species survive things like CWD in deer and elk or Whirling disease in fish. Course Rigger had to ask if it was possible for them to get Walleye to start growing to 30 pounds! Wait a minute, can they? Watch on YouTube or listen here to find out. Heck they talked about the Flathead Lake Monster and Bigfoot! Could those really be out among us here in Montana? Find out what Dr Bishop and Dr Whiteley had to say about that! So mash that play button and watch or listen now!Links:To learn more about the U of M Wildlife Biology program click here.Click here to watch a short video about the Wildlife Biology program.To learn more about Dr. Chad Bishop click here.Click here to learn more about Dr. Andrew Whiteley.Questions?

Pollinators NEED native plants because of their closely tied relationships that are at times millions of years in the making! In this podcast episode, you'll learn why native plants are crucial for pollinators and how non-native plants fall short.Tune in to discover how plant-pollinator co-evolution was predicted and discovered through incredible examples of plant-pollinator relationships. At the end, I'll challenge you to a fun mini-experiment to see which attracts more pollinators: native or non-native plants.Don't forget to subscribe for more fun and educational content, and join the Wildlife Biology for Kids Club for exclusive worksheets and interaction with me and like-minded parents! Are you a parent wanting to get your kids outside and learning about wildlife?

There's a huge diversity in the number of animal species that pollinate plants - it's way more than bees! And most people think of honey bees when it comes to pollination, but they are actually poor pollinators and not native to North America. In this podcast episode, you'll learn about native pollinators all over the world. You're going to be surprised to learn how many there are - from small insects to large mammals and even carnivores. Pollinators are everywhere! I challenge you to watch a plant or scan an area and see how much pollinator diversity you can find.

Joe Hamilton, Legend of Conservation - Part 1 of 2. The profound success story of whitetail conservation could not be told without Joe Hamilton. He spearheaded a movement in the South that expanded across the country forever changing the landscape of herd health and habitat quality. I met Mr. Joe years ago at Rose Hill Plantation sometime in the early 2000's. I was thrilled to shake his hand and to be invited on such a hunt by the Morrison family. I've never been one to follow hunting media shows or celebrity type hunters. QDMA was the content I consumed and Joe is a figure that I've always admired and respected.  Several years ago I connected with Joe Hamilton again.  Joe joined us for a mentored hunt at my family farm for a memorable weekend and since then we have stayed in touch. When I started Southeast Whitetail, Joe was at the top of my list to interview and showcase his dedication and career work with conservation. Thus, I asked Joe to film the first episode of Southeastern Sit-down Series: Joe Hamilton, Legend of Conservation.  Joe has a long and storied history in the outdoors which is well documented in his book: "Firepot Stories".  A fascinating read and very informative of the revered white-tailed deer.  Thank you for listening to the interview and a very special thank you to Mr. Joe Hamilton. He opened his home to me and I greatly appreciate his time. Below are career highlights and the numerous recognition awards.  Career:Native of Elizabethtown, NC.BS Degree in Forest Resources 1971 - UGAMS Degree in Wildlife Biology 1978 - UGASC DNR 1979 - 1995Founded QDMA in 1988 and has been involved with various roles & positions still to this day.Ducks Unlimited 1996 - 2000Awards & Achievements:1975 - NC Wildlife Federation Conservationist of the Year.1982 - Julian C.

You've heard about the importance of pollinators, but what exactly is it? When you learn what pollination consists of, you'll quickly realize it truly is a miracle of nature! This week on the Wildlife Biology for Kids Club, we're diving into the fascinating world of pollination—how it happens, who some pollinators are, and why it's essential for our survival. You'll discover how pollen travels from the anthers to the stigma to create seeds, and why this process is vital for the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and even the medicines we take. I'll challenge you to find pollination in action right in your own backyards!

Controversial Goose Management – Special Guest - Kaitlyn Barnes | The Green Way Outdoors Podcast After Kyle Green spoke out against goose gas chambers in a viral video, he got the attention of the Michimmgan DNR. So we invited Waterfowl Biologist Kaitlyn Barnes to come on the podcast and give the Department of Natural Resources' side of the story. In this episode of The Green Way Outdoors Podcast, we sit down with Kaitlyn Barnes, the Waterfowl Biologist for the Michigan DNR, for a deep dive into the most pressing waterfowl management issues affecting Michigan hunters and beyond. We engage in a strong but friendly debate over Canada goose population control, including the controversial use of gas chambers and nest destruction. Is this the right way to manage nuisance goose numbers, or is there a better solution? Other hot topics include: ✅ 2025 duck population projections – What can hunters expect next season? ✅ Deer culling – Should hunters be involved? ✅ Wood duck boxes – How hunters can help conservation efforts, but what they need to know before setting one up! Whether you're a Michigan waterfowl hunter, a Midwest conservationist, or just love the outdoors, this episode is packed with insight, debate, and must-know info for the 2025 hunting season!

Dr. Grant Woods from GrowingDeer.TV joins us this week on Fall Obsession Podcast to talk everything whitetails!  Dr. Woods is a well-known and respected wildlife biologist and deer manager whose research, tactics and strategies have been proven to create deer hunting paradises for decades.  Sam and Ryan cover a lot of ground with Dr. Woods in this episode, talking habitat management, food plot biology, whitetail behavior, moon phases, the rut, and so much more!  There is a lot to learn when it comes to managing and growing big whitetails; and certainly so much more than we ourselves think we know.  That's why time with an expert like Dr. Woods is so incredibly valuable.  We certainly pick his brain and ask him all of the questions on our minds (and maybe yours too) as he boils it down to the science of whitetail hunting!Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)Bear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/)Trophy Edits (https://trophyedits.com/?ref=fallobsession)Ridge Rock Hunt Company (https://ridgerockhuntcompany.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the pressing issue of climate change and the challenges posed by government inaction. With the recent political shifts in North America, particularly the incoming administration in the United States, there are concerns about the rollback of environmental regulations and policies that protect the ocean and climate. Key points include: Government Inaction: The episode highlights the potential consequences of a new U.S. administration that may prioritize economic interests over environmental protection, including the exemption of billion-dollar projects from environmental regulations. This could lead to increased fossil fuel projects and further exacerbate climate change. Impact on Wildlife: Lewin discusses the changing diets and health of polar bears due to climate change, emphasizing how their food sources are being affected by shrinking ice coverage. This serves as a reminder of the broader impacts of climate change on wildlife and ecosystems. Local and Global Consequences: The podcast also touches on the alarming projections for sea level rise, particularly in vulnerable areas like Florida, where cities may be underwater by 2050. This situation raises concerns about climate refugees and the socioeconomic impacts of climate change. Empowering Businesses for Change: Given the inaction from governments, Lewin emphasizes the importance of supporting businesses that prioritize environmental and social responsibility. He introduces the concept of B Corps—companies that balance profit with purpose and contribute positively to the environment and society. Examples of Positive Action: The episode highlights several B Corps, such as Bose Brewing Company, Four Oceans, Patagonia, and Nada, which are making significant strides in sustainability and environmental impact. These companies demonstrate that individual and collective consumer choices can drive change, even when governmental support is lacking. We encourage you to take action by supporting responsible businesses and making conscious consumer choices to combat climate change, emphasizing that collective efforts can lead to meaningful change in the face of governmental inaction.

Have humans lost their natural instincts when it comes to how to nourish themselves? What can we learn from animals about nutritional wisdom, taste preference, and flavor feedback? How can we simplify and tap back into our inner knowing? Tune in to hear us interview Fred Provenza, a guest we absolutely loved talking to and we know you are going to love too!   In this episode, we are joined by special guest Fred Provenza, professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology. Fred's incredible body of research over the past 35 years has pioneered an understanding of how learning influences foraging behavior and how behavior links soil, plants, herbivores, and humans. Learn about primary and secondary compounds in our food, how the Vagus nerve is connected to sense of taste, and how humans can rediscover their inner wisdom in the modern world.    More about Fred Provenza: Fred Provenza grew up in Salida, Colorado, working on a ranch and attending school in Wildlife Biology at Colorado State University. He is professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University where he worked for 35 years, directing an award-winning research group that pioneered an understanding of how learning influences foraging behavior and how behavior links soil, plants, herbivores, and humans.    He is the author of three books, including Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us about Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom; Foraging Behavior: Managing to Survive in a World of Change; and The Art & Science of Shepherding: Tapping the Wisdom of French Herders (co-author with Michel Meuret). He has published over 300 research papers in a wide variety of scientific journals. He has been an invited speaker at over 500 conferences.   The many awards he received for research, teaching, and mentoring reflect the creativity that flowed from warm professional and personal relationships with over 75 graduate students, post-doctoral students, visiting scientists, and colleagues during the past 45 years.   Also in this episode:  Black Friday Deals - Shop Now Fred's Story How did humans lose their instincts?

How are Canada's birds doing? Recently released, The State of Canada's Birds brings us valuable insights into the health of our favourite species. Some have recovered wonderfully, like waterfowl and birds of prey, yet others are struggling and need urgent attention. Catherine Jardine of Birds Canada and Marie-Anne Hudson with Environment and Climate Change Canada join us - after spending 4 years of their lives digging into this data - to share the biggest news on Canada's birds. Explore the report and share what you learn. Together, we can have a positive impact on Canada's birds.  Marie-Anne Hudson has a BSc from McGill University in Applied Zoology and a PhD from McGill University in Wildlife Biology, which she got while also working as an environmental consultant and bird bander. With over a decade of experience, in 2023 she became the Unit Head of the Science Coordination and Reporting Unit with Environment and Climate Change Canada. Catherine Jardine is the Associate Director of Data Science and Technology at Birds Canada. Her work focuses on supporting hundreds of research and monitoring projects investigating the ecology, distribution and population dynamics of all bird species through two main platforms; NatureCounts (naturecounts.ca) and the Motus Wildlife Tracking System (motus.org).Andrea Gress (she/her) secretly thinks Piping Plovers are better than all the other birds...studied Renewable Resource Management at the University of Saskatchewan. She pivoted towards birds, after an internship in South Africa. Upon returning, she worked with Piping Plovers in Saskatchewan, and then as the Ontario Piping Plover Coordinator. Years of sharing her love of plovers with beach goers has turned into a full time communications role with Birds Canada.

Stephanie's Career Journey Early Interests and Education: Stephanie Manka, originally known as Stephanie Shuttler, began her academic journey with a major in biology, initially considering a career in medicine as a backup to her interest in acting. She discovered her passion for wildlife biology during a study abroad program in Africa, which opened her eyes to the possibility of a career in wildlife conservation.

Michael Chamberlain's fascination with wild turkeys began in his suburban childhood outside Richmond, Virginia, nurtured by Saturday hunting trips with his diesel mechanic father. Inspired by a wildlife biologist friend of his father's, Chamberlain pursued his passion for wildlife biology at Virginia Tech, specializing in fisheries and wildlife science. In graduate school, Chamberlain's research focused on wild turkeys in the Mississippi Delta, where he combined his love of hunting with academic study. This hands-on experience, involving capturing turkeys, attaching radio transmitters, and tracking their movements, cemented his career in turkey research. ⁣ Chamberlain has uncovered intricate social behaviors in wild turkeys, noting their tendency to be social for most of the year but solitary during reproduction. His studies reveal turkeys' complex social structures and hierarchies, similar to humans, and their regional subspecies variations. He highlights the historical domestication of turkeys, leading to today's large, non-flying commercial breeds, and contrasts their leaner, wilder counterparts. ⁣ An advocate for sustainable hunting, Chamberlain shares tips and emphasizes the importance of mentorship for aspiring hunters. His extensive research addresses concerns about declining turkey populations, particularly in the southeast and midwest.

Networking is super important. As someone who has been in the wildlife field for over 20 years and has attended countless scientific conferences since 2006, I know firsthand how networking can influence your career success. Experience is most important, but at times, who you know can even trump this. Networking can lead to jobs you didn't know about, or maybe didn't even exist in addition to other helpful career-building impacts like publication and volunteer opportunities. And if you want to study charismatic species like big cats, marine mammals, or carnivores, you simply have to network. But I also know for a lot of us, networking can feel daunting and intimidating, so we avoid it. In fear of making a mistake, we don't do anything or only limit networking to opportunities where others take the lead - such as our boss or advisor introducing you to their colleagues. But in this era of incredibly high competition for wildlife jobs, this is unfortunately, not enough.  In this episode of the Fancy Scientist podcast, I delve into the networking mistakes often made by aspiring and early career wildlife professionals. I know these because I myself have made many of these and see a lot of the same things happening in my students and members of my Facebook community group Getting a Job in Wildlife Biology. Drawing from my extensive experience, I emphasize how perspective and hindsight has allowed me to now see what I should have been doing, now what others are doing when they reach out to me, and how these actions are perceived from as a mid-level wildlife career professional. The discussion also includes real-life success stories from my students, highlighting the transformative power of active engagement, specific intentions, and preparation. I outline nine key mistakes to avoid common pitfalls, such as being too casual or coming off as self-centered, so you can improve your networking skills and boost your career!Lastly, platforms like LinkedIn can be incredibly powerful, even if you can't attend in-person events. So, I'll also underscore the value of online networking. You'll learn about the importance of proactive follow-up and building genuine relationships, expand your professional network, and open doors to exciting career opportunities.Specifically, I go over:The importance of networking The 9 biggest and common networking mistakes to avoidHow to network intentionally with a purposeTips for making genuine connections without being self-centeredThe art of following up and maintaining relationshipsNavigating networking as an introvertRemember, in wildlife careers, networking isn't just a tool—it's a vital strategy for advancement.I'm Dr. Stephanie Manka (formerly Schuttler), a wildlife biologist of nearly 20 yrs with 20+ peer-reviewed scientific publications, author of the book Getting a Job in Wildlife Biology: What It's Like and What You Need to Know (https://www.amazon.com/Getting-Job-Wildlife-Biology-What/dp/B08JDYXS4G/) and founder of Fancy Scientist.

SummaryIn this episode, Ron Hayes and Jason Loftus are joined by guest Nehemiah Ray, and they share discussions of how venturing into the wild in their childhood has developed a strong appreciation for the finer details in nature. Nehemiah Ray, a wildlife professional, shares his philosophy for raising his children to appreciate the wonders of nature. This episode digs into the importance of family, outdoor experiences, wildlife biology, and the impact of human behaviour on ecosystems. Nehemiah Ray shares his experiences with nature, wildlife removal, and the importance of teaching children to appreciate and respect the natural world. The conversation covers a wide range of topics related to nature, wildlife, and exploring the natural world. It delves into the impact of invasive species, the importance of understanding wild edible plants, the value of foraging, and the significance of being aware of one's environment. The conversation also highlights the benefits of spending time in nature, the challenges today's technology has on kids, how it limits their opportunity for outdoor experiences and the influence of childhood experiences on adult perspectives.TakeawaysTeaching children to appreciate and respect nature is important for their development.Human behavior, including the release of pets into the wild, can have significant consequences for ecosystems.Wildlife removal and the coexistence of humans and wildlife is a complex and important aspect of environmental management.

It's about being able to overcome it.""The impact on the ecosystem, you know, just by people releasing pets is significant.""Don't keep a pet that should be wild. And secondly, don't ever turn them loose. There's always other options. But if you go turn them loose, then the ecosystem is dealing with a problem that you didn't want to manage. So.""The grocery stores have such a small amount of foods that we eat. And granted, I know shelf life and all those types of things play a part into it, but I really want to teach them at a young age to be explorative. Don't just go with what's offered to you.""It's really easy to admire the mountains. It's a lot more difficult to admire the molehill. Being able to ... You don't have to go far.

We all know that driving in areas where wildlife might cross the road can lead to conflicts. Over the past few years states have been constructing tunnels and bridges for wildlife to use, eliminating the conflict between them and us as we drive down the highways. Are those the best ways to reduce these conflict areas to keep people and animals safe or are there other techniques? Dr. Nicki Frey, Associate Extension Professor in the field of Wildlife Biology; stationed at Cedar City in southern Utah specializing in the field of Human-Wildlife Conflicts joins me to talk about how to keep animals and people safe. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.    Contact: 303-832-0217 or DrivingYouCrazyPodcast@Gmail.com Jayson: twitter.com/Denver7Traffic or www.facebook.com/JaysonLuberTrafficGuy  WhatsApp: https://wa.me/17204028248 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/denver7traffic   Dr Nicki Frey: https://extension.usu.edu/directory/frey-nicki   Production Notes: Open music: jazzyfrenchy by Bensound Close music: Latché Swing by Hungaria

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Eeland Stribling. Eeland, who's known as the "Black Steve Iriwn" and “The Fliest Fisherman” is a wildlife biologist, educator, standup comedian, and the host of “Comedians on the Fly.” We dive deep into the world of standup comedy, including the various hazing routines, what it's like to eat shit during an open mic, how things change as you climb the ranks, the process of crafting a joke, and more. Eeland also educates us with some fun facts about black bears and mountain lions and gives us a thorough primer on how to get started with fly fishing. This chat was both fun and informative, you will not be disappointed.  We wrap the show with five word sentences that are guaranteed to start a fight, the triple crown of shows to fall asleep to, and we have more details of our live podcast in Denver.

When Janet Ng was a kid, there was a very specific moment when she realized what she wanted to be as a grown-up: seeing a wildlife biologist being interviewed in a documentary and realizing that was a possible career path. Now working for the Canadian Wildlife Service and surveying birds in Canada's southern plains, Janet and her colleagues help find out whether bird populations are increasing or declining, so that we know which species need the most help.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

Wildlife biologist Janet Ng works for the Canadian Wildlife Service. And for her waterbird surveys, one of the most important tools of her trade is a kayak. Many species that breed in the Arctic pass through lakes in southern Saskatchewan on their way north, making it a great place to survey the birds' populations and track how they're doing year to year. But some birds are hard to see, hidden in cattails. So counting them by kayak gives biologists a chance to observe more birds.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?
