a short break. Hello? And shortly after we walked up, he reached out into this tree and he grabbed this tiny little baby finch right off the branch. Howard Before We close. And meanwhile the finch populations are just getting decimated charlotte says that they're trying to respond. And every once in a while one of these Hitchhikers slips under the radar and just wreaks havoc. Oh my God. Look at this species here, Small levi, green thing they call it Huntin in spanish, it is in its plan ta go, I think in the U. S. They call it, Was it the wrench of the white man? Wow, that is freaking amazing, describe them. We went live on the radio that was so fun. Is a tortoise trying to get over a branch. At first I didn't know what that was happening but turns out it was an election and I was just really blown away that this Continue this procession for like 15 minutes.

Our newsletter comes out And so you end up flying around in an expensive helicopter, not fighting any goes Now the way we deal with that is an interesting one. It's this on ending struggle. 1. WebThe audio for this video comes from NPRs RadioLab - I do not own the rights to this. We are dedicating a whole hour to the Galapagos archipelago, the place that inspired Darwins theory of evolution and natural selection. Things might not be silly. Yeah. She took a trip to this island called Isabella, hiked up the side of a volcano and looked at all the tortoise country and it was an Impenetrable forest, basically tortoise heaven. But she told me that these four flies will probably die because they always die right now we have huge problems trying to re file in captivity, which is ironic given how abundant it is in the wild when I was there told me that so far, they had only successfully raised three, three adult flies when you're saying they needed millions. The finches look similar but their beaks were always a little bit different and this gets them thinking what if it isn't the way that everybody always says, what if God didn't create every single species in the beginning and leave them unchanged? What was that? The guy who wins, he spent $500,000. That's really the classical definition of a species. 2.2K views about 2 years ago 48:23 Love it or hate it, the freedom to So talked into the story of these finches is the story of Galapagos. Oh for sure. Again, a whole bunch of herpetologists were out there and some island conservationists and they're talking about what to do pente and they can't get lonesome George to reproduce which they were hoping to do because then they could build a pin to population and put it on Penta. I started studying Darwin's finches in particular. But it's an average. They kidnapped some people, including some of my crew and they even killed dozens of tortoises, slitting their throats. This next part, it's about how far we're willing to go to get something back that we've already lost to restore a place in a creature to its wild state. Darwins 5 weeks on Galapagos pushed him to develop his theory of evolution and thats also why when we think of evolution we think of the Galapagos and in It's introduced found in europe north africa shouldn't be here. So when you think about trying to inspect the bridge and every pillar, you're talking about extensive amount of work. Today, the strange story of a small group of islands that raise a big question: is it inevitable that even our most sacred natural landscapes will eventually get swallowed up by humans? Can I get you to introduce yourself? Radiolab - Galapagos | The Best Podcasts, As Chosen By You earbud.fm by NPR Radiolab Galapagos "I love the Galapagos episode. These are such alien looking creatures. There have been no tortoises there for 100 years. It was breath taken. You can join in on early access at our merch stores. If they're going to release sterilized male flies into the wild, they have to be able to raise millions of these flies in the lab and they're trying like crazy showing me all of the larvae that hatch today and four baby flies that had just hatched and these little cups. But that shouldn't really happen. It is the end of our budget year. I was running as it turns out he speaks some english. What's that? And this is what I think is really. I'm Jad Abumrad. Galpagos - Radiolab So I met this woman named Hanky Yaeger who is like a plant scientist. It's this totally wild, like I've never seen like this storybook, blue green, iridescent aquamarine and I'm thinking like, wow, this is gonna be like dropping into another world. We want to hit the ground running as we go into the next year and you've heard of the lab, we've been talking about it, we've been so excited about it. Another possibility is sterile insect technique sterilized male flies and introduce them back into the wild so that the female mates with a sterile fly and obviously doesn't produce fertile eggs. WebRadiolabGalapagos Rebroadcast 2017. Once the eggs hatch, the eggs hatch of the flies as well in the larvae wriggling little larvae will crawl out from the bottom of the nest up the finch's body into its beak and they go into the noses of the baby finches and just start eating. So we we just sat in the forest and we would always quiz each other. School of Diagnostic Medical Sonography - Grady Health Radiolab: Saving the Galpagos Giant Tortoise - Island Conservation Let's just take some tortoises from a nearby island and put them back on Penta. You know, Galapagos was really isolated, barely any cars. According to some accounts, they even hung them from trees. Radiolab ' s first nine seasons (February 2002April 2011) comprised five episodes each. Subsequent seasons contained between nine and ten episodes. Season 15 began airing in January 2017. In 2018 the show's seasonal and episode format became obscured when online content moved from radiolab.org to wnycstudios.org. Listen. This is a field of four. Mhm. Just out of sympathy for them. So Carl Campbell figured out a technique where we could sterilize them in the field. 179 years later, the Galapagos are undergoing rapid changes that continue to pose -- and possibly answer -- critical questions about the fragility and resilience of life on Earth.

Our newsletter comes out every Wednesday. And song samples made some recordings, brought all this stuff into the lab analyzed the genetic samples and had this terrible realization that the large tree finches now extinct, totally gone from the island. This is fraser fraser. You can buy it at home depot but there it is in the Galapagos and along this path just looking to the right and the left and then she just starts counting the number of invasive species at 1234 as you can see here, it's only right next to the trail but not so much for them. Episode Credits:Reported and produced byTim Howard. It's a directional antenna. So many kids want to make a change, but a high school girls volleyball team is redefining what it means to play together. For instance, add up as picking the lafayette of the nostrils of the baby birds and what we're starting to see is that they're beginning to consume them. You've got. Not know how would that happen. Beaks adapted to whatever the they were eating one islands finches had literally like the beak would be shaped sort of long and then the next island. WebTranscripts and recorded audio may be available for many of the programs you hear on WNYC. I'm the restoration Ecologist at the Charles Darwin foundation. I think yeah, whatever bugs might have snuck out of the plane. To take good question. And we all agreed because the calls are really distinct, easy to tell apart. Did a genetic analysis and found something they never expected a group of tortoises. I'm surrounded by shelves and on the shelves are these tiny little plastic cups that are filled with flies. It's a race against time. Indeed. Created in 2002, Radiolab began as an exploration of science, philosophy, and They were going to do this big population studies. And he tells me, well, I'm nervous. And this became one of the, one of the most important pieces of evidence that, you know, when animals would move from one place to another, they would begin to differentiate based on very, very important. When he visited Galapagos, he collected a lot of specimens of finches, took them back to England and eventually he realized that the beaks had all adapted.

They would need like millions of traps every few feet to do that. You mean eat the fly larva? You know, we assume that it was carbon dioxide carbon dioxide from the breathing. So they began to frantically study it. You should actually get better with experience. What do they look like? No Bocelli the incumbent one. My version was, is my dream of what it would be like as you land on and it's sort of like low grassy knoll and an enormous turtle comes by the one that you could sit on the top of it. But as far as I know, there are none for Radiolab. Oh yeah. No, no, no that's not. Most recently, in an exploration of the science of aging and the search for immortality in an episode titled "Mortality," hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich We found this on 13 islands. Right? So Darwin's finches In short, Darwin! But speaking of beaks that finch that Arnaud was holding his beak, did you see the, especially this side is extremely huge. We thought about the worst years ever and all through that listener support was one of the things that kept us going. So we, you know, we do this interview in english and I'm almost embarrassed that I wanted to talk to him because I think the dude is just gonna be so down and out exactly the opposite. It was a magical, magical area. And based on that genetic data the small tree finch is not doing great. The warbler finch is the smallest of the Darwin's finches. just a boom rod. 179 years later, the Galapagos It is about enabling the key actors, the bridge engineer to do their work more effectively more efficiently. I guess. So there are no people there. This kind of eradication program was far beyond anything that anyone had ever done anywhere in the world Because it turns out they weren't just doing this on Isabela Island? So you really only had two species left. What's, what's going on you? Um and eventually you start um you know fondling their their legs and tails and hoping to get them to ejaculate and had a volunteer working with me, her name was favorite bridge oni. But a high school girls volleyball team is redefining what it means to play together. Are these finches disappearing very fast, Very slowly, depends on the species. You're saying this pinto DNA was on another island. Here's the backstory. So I think there's been a change. Miller and Latif Nasser are co hosts. Transcript. The whalers and pirates would often take goats that they brought with them and throw them onto the islands that way when they're on their way back and sick of eating tortoises, they could grab those goats. Boxid. Radiolab Exactly. These tortoises are only found here. Coincidentally, these are the topics that Radiolab also loves. Now linda says in the end you don't actually need to do the full aggressive four generation breeding thing. They've got, they sterilized 39 of them.

Not worse. Were all great apes. He's adorable. Whereas the numbers were very small for the medium tree finch and smaller for the small tree finch, wow, I dare say that sounds kind of hopeful. Joint Review He and some national park rangers race out to pin to and there it was this beautiful tortoise. Say a few from maybe those Penta tortoises swim with occurrence to that nearby island. A little black fly looks like every other fly. I like to think of it as a kind of Darwin finch.

He was their counter protesting and he says that at one point they went after National Park buildings and they were attacking the ranger stations with molotov cocktails. Okay, um it's sort of the first thing that really just like, where the hell am I I? Almost every day during that time fraser would fly over Isabela island, two guys with two shooters either side of the helicopter, what you do is so you come across and you're flying along and you might see one goat says you follow that goat as it ran away until it joined its friends.
