radiolab galapagos transcript

They blockaded roads. You can just take the best pinta tortoises you find and put those on Penta and you know over the next 200,000 years they will evolve into a pinto tortoise and it could be a bit different than the past pinta tortoise because evolution and mutation and all that doesn't occur the same. This is possibility powered by Shopify. Well these are very purist sort of visions. WebRadiolab is a radio program produced by WNYC, a public radio station in New York City, and broadcast on public radio stations in the United States. You can join in on early access at our merch stores. This is radio lab, we'll be back with producer Tim Howard and this hour on Galapagos. Everyone held out hopes for just finding more tortoises back. 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. Teladoc is available through most insurance plans and if you're not covered, you can still have access, download the app or visit Teladoc dot com slash radio lab. So carl kept mulling this problem, what would it take to basically make you know, the perfect judas goat. Test the outer edges of what you think you know, Radiolab is supported by listeners like you. 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. We were really starting to get kind of desperate about options. WebRadiolabGalapagos Rebroadcast 2017. So here's the story, Goats were originally brought to the Galapagos probably by pirates and whalers back in the 1500s. I mean like like sergeants. But here's what they do know. You just grabbed it just like that. She's a researcher at the Charles Darwin foundation. And the thing to know is that even though these are three different species, they're actually really hard to tell apart visually. Go to Shopify dot com slash radio lab. So the helicopters were used, they're called MD five hundred's small helicopter there for four passengers and one pilot, single turbine five blades. You know, we assume that it was carbon dioxide carbon dioxide from the breathing. What was that? What if on these islands, thousands of tourists arrive every day carrying fruits and chocolates and souvenirs jumping from island to island. Let me start by telling you about the tortoise. I'm gon kill the person. The flies spreading island to island. No, no, no that's not. So we we go outside. Episode Credits:Reported and produced byTim Howard. Yes I do. 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. This is a field of four. So that was my first experience. WebRadiolab is one of the most beloved podcasts and public radio programs in the world. But then Sonia told me something really surprising. It's actually the footprint of the white man. She showed me her lab. They took me outside. I'm Jad Abumrad. 179 years later, the Galapagos We went live on the radio that was so fun. He like points at the cars in front and behind as if like dude, seriously, you see how many of us there are. IBM is using artificial intelligence technology to help businesses solve real world problems such as extending the life cycle of our world's critical infrastructure. We're still trying to figure that out. They hear your footsteps, they raised their heads, they come out to see what's going on and then they get whacked. So you really only had two species left. That's right. And so the best way you can help us is to become an annual member of the lab and you can do that right now, go to radio lab dot org slash join and if you join as an annual member before june 30th at midnight, you will get two months free using the code summer. They eliminate over 250,000 goats. But here's the problem. This is just to grab a few flies, take them back to the lab and study them so they can learn how to fight them charlotte and paid ads. He's adorable. So whalers and buccaneers. These tortoises are only found here. I can see the sea cargo ships going by and we have drones flying that are taking thousands of pictures of every angle of that bridge that no human could actually quickly process without artificial intelligence. WebNature and World Cultures, Sp2021 Prof Sandy Brown Listening Guide:Radiolab, Galapagos Please use the sections below to take notes on key moments, quotes, events, and Normally a female goat would be in heat for maybe a couple of days. C studios. Okay, so here's a wood plaque That says Lonesome George is the last survivor of the dynasty of land tortoises from Pinta Island and in fact in 2012, after decades of trying to get him to breed lonesome George Dies. Yeah, exactly. That's. They were having a meeting about this that's conservationist, josh Donlan. It does. Wow, that is freaking amazing, describe them. And more importantly, can we? It's customized for your needs, provides tools to manage your day to day needs and drive sales and helps make your idea real. This one, which first aired in 2014, tells the strange story of a small group of islands that keeps us wondering: will our most sacred natural landscapes inevitably get swallowed up by humans? Some alligators, but you've got a crap load of fish, you've got a crap load of fungus, fun, fun, fun, fun guy, fungi, fungi or fungi, whatever, you know, Ravelli, whatever you take seriously. 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. The ideal judas goat, if you will is a goat that would search for and be searched for and that would never get pregnant. You know, they, they plow down vegetation disperse seeds, but for centuries they've been hunted by those whalers and in about 1906 The Penta Tortoise went extinct 1906, a little over 100 years ago. Not worse. This hour we take a look at what happens when we all try to live together. Yeah. In any case for about 40 years. We only have a few days left to meet our financial goal. Now the jury is still very much out on what will happen. Listen to this special series on the United States of anxiety wherever you get podcasts. 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. You're saying this pinto DNA was on another island. The place that inspired Charles Darwin to create his theory of evolution, whose basic ingredients are lots of time, isolation and then constant change. Contact us, indicating the AAPB ID (cpb-aacip/80-80vq8sgb). Super limited electricity. Yeah. So they thought maybe he needs a pinto lady. And the pinot tortoise went extinct. So you um you complete that with Isabella and did it work? But that's four generations of tortoises, not rats. My name is, he's an ornithologist from the University of Vienna. All I remember is having a smile on my face all the time because you know, as a biologist going to Galapagos is like going to mecca. We are ascending and we have our dreams. The show is nationally syndicated Things might not be silly. And they're like, I don't know who the guy was, but it turns out he was the incumbent. Just out of sympathy for them. So I took the plane from Kyoto. But if the hybrids do have a fitness advantage and if they survive, we may be witnessing in hyperspeed the creation of an entirely new species. 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. Is this the way that everybody who works on the tortoises thinks about it this kind of deep time. That's charlotte costin. 25400 U.S. Highway 19 North, Suite 158. And this is the place of course where Darwin landed in 1835. There's a little hole into the brain of this little finch. But then along come the flies and all of a sudden like over maybe 20 years, these medium tree finch is they start to break their own biggest rule and they start to make outside of their own kind. Nearly 200 years later, the Galpagos are undergoing rapid changes that continue to pose and perhaps answer critical questions about the fragility and I started studying Darwin's finches in particular. They kidnapped some people, including some of my crew and they even killed dozens of tortoises, slitting their throats. We're God, we might as well get good at it and we're going to have to create these ecosystems based on our best science. Nothing worked until One day in July of 2008, George turns to the two female tortoises that he had been ignoring for years and he says, inexplicably he just suddenly decides to mate with both of them. It's hot, it's bright. There's 100,000 of them, So many doubters, Carl says even heard the idea, why don't you put lions? Let's just take some tortoises from a nearby island and put them back on Penta. She says there's actually very little known about the fly. So his name is, he is a naturalist guide. Here we are, we're going to look at these incredible creators called los malos and as we're walking along the path, she's like, oh wait, look at this, She points just to the right of the path. Here we go. We use this technique called judas, goats. Thanks to Trish Dolman and screen siren pictures, Alex gala font Mathias espinosa. And the goats that were out there were gorgeous, You know, they had curled horns, different coloured fur, just beautiful animals and they've been there for 500 years, some people were concerned with goats have their own if you will right to be there. Susie Leuchtenburg is our executive producer. Humans. But as far as I know, there are none for Radiolab. 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. And meanwhile the finch populations are just getting decimated charlotte says that they're trying to respond. I'm walking through the town. I wonder how many years these guys have been here for. Every population of tortoises on all the islands. You actually end up meeting a lot of people employed that way in Galapagos and he tells me politically speaking, he's an outsider and of course I'm wondering why he's standing there by himself waving a flag at this entire parade of people who don't support him at all. Radio Lab was created by Jack Brabham Rod and is edited by soren wheeler lulu. Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:48:02 +0000. Scientists first began to see this in 1997 when they started to find nests full of dead baby finches. Ariane wack pat, Walters and molly Webster With help from Bowen wong. Well the honeymoon's over Galapagos. I really do because it has the potential to be incredibly anti basis from W. N. Y. C. Studios and the bell. These females would go for more than 100 and 80 days. Thanks for listening. Miller and Latif Nasser are co hosts. They weren't sure they'd eventually name him George lonesome George. They literally drove the rangers out of the National Park headquarters and took it over on Isabella. Oh God, dad showed me this. What if in fact life is purely changed. Yeah, well I stood next to carl and watched him do it and carl took it one step further and he actually gave these females hormone implants, basically put them in the heat for an extended duration. full access to Shopify his entire suite of features. It shows you the power. Web9 1 Radiolab Podcasts and Streamers 1 comment Best BewareTheSphere 6 yr. ago A lot of WNYC podcasts do transcripts-- I know On the Media does. Well it means that these two different finches had started having babies together. They burned down a building. That was definitely not what I thought you were gonna say. Radio lab is supported by Teladoc. But I go up to him and I yell at him, who's your candidate and he said, I am a candidate? When you needed to stop for breath, your hand ran light and steady. And he says he would go on these dives. This is carl Campbell. It feeds on flowers and we think decomposing fruits, baby flies, they're not vegetarians, they will, you know, blood. Uh but they ultimately were infertile. This is Augustine Lopez's longtime fisherman. WebIt was that last word, gonadsand a researcher who referred to them as magical organsthat sent Radiolab producer and host Molly Webster on a quest to reignite our fascination with embryonic development, X and Y chromosomes, and reproduction. Right? We did this amazing story about one of the worst american football games in history. By this point, I'm getting super excited and I'm thinking about Darwin and I start reading Voyage of the Beagle, his book on this nook that I had bought for the trip. And wherever they went, they would lure those male goats out of their caves so that, you know, all in all over the course of this two year program, we had hundreds of judas goats out and using those goats, they were able to go from 94% goat free to 96 to 97 to 98. And this brings us to our second school of thought, which in its most extreme version goes something like this. See? And what we'd do is we'd find a location as close as we could. My name is Gisele. 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? Yes. But a high school girls volleyball team is redefining what it means to play together. You know, there's green mangroves, black lava flows and pink flamingos. And that is how they go from 90% go free to 91 to 92 to 93 to 94. He sat there getting more and more and more frustrated and finally he just blurted out shoot that tortoise and quit wasting our time because in his view this the single individual was holding up this huge conservation opportunity. A little black fly looks like every other fly. The adult fly is actually vegetarian. Yeah. Which 15 years ago, they would never do back in the year 2000, Sonia and some colleagues tried feeding the finches, some fly larva and if ever there were a look of disgust on a finch face, that was it. It includes short essays, recommendations, and details about special events. What happened to the forest, goats, goats? And I remember asking one guy, they're driving so slow, I can just walk up to them. Radio Lab is supported by Shopify, a platform designed for anyone to sell anywhere giving entrepreneurs the resources once reserved for big businesses. It's such a perfect day for toward us hunting. So they did it. So they called around offered huge cash rewards. Here's Kareem Yousef, the general manager of AI Applications at IBM, I'm standing on top of a suspension bridge, I've got a vast view in front of me. They were a little bit different depending on which island the finches lived on with the beaks. Ornithologists have started to notice some new behaviors. And then everyone gets shot except the judas go, they let it go find more friends and then everyone gets shot except the judas go and then they do it again, everyone gets shot except the judas goat. Sutherland was the engineer pilot and a sharp shooter 2004, 3 to 2000 and six. And just how far are we willing to go to stop that from happening? She says, you have islands with massive volcanoes and forests, tree ferns that grow, you know, well above a human sight. They learned that this sound means, so the goats start hiding so they're going to bushes, they won't move, They learn to stand under a tree holding their breath. So now they had a dilemma. Um they seem to have stopped, you know taking over National Park and killing tortoises. Listen, wherever you get your podcasts, I'm john, I'm robert Krulwich, this is Radio lab today, a whole hour on the Galapagos islands. It grabbed the goats dart, um, and then in a matter of minutes, snip snip did you do this? I'm surrounded by shelves and on the shelves are these tiny little plastic cups that are filled with flies. There have been no tortoises there for 100 years. You know, Galapagos was really isolated, barely any cars. It's like a biological rule about who you're not going to make a baby with. And based on that genetic data the small tree finch is not doing great. You just put your hands around. So we we just sat in the forest and we would always quiz each other. So go join at radio lab dot org slash join and I'll see you all later. Right? Transcript. 24 June 2012. Well, there's there's a couple of clues that say maybe, Yeah, for example, when you look in the nests, they seem to have fewer parasites and they seem to have more babies that survive 15%. Oh, I'm never a Doubter. Listen. R. i. 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. Two females that sort of looked like George but weren't quite the same species and we put them with George to see if we could get him to breed, he never did wasn't interested. Nearly 200 years later, the Galpagos are undergoing rapid changes that continue to pose and perhaps answer critical questions about the fragility and resilience of life on Earth. We celebrated our 20th anniversary. Just because so today a little step back in time to one of my favorite radio producers, tim Howard telling us the story of a truly singular spot on the face of our earth. I thought you were gonna say people, it was kind of a collaboration. But according to Linda sometime in the late 1970s, the goats got brave. Yes, this fellow, he's a well known tortoise researcher. We don't think it was natural Gisella thinks it might have been the whalers. WebThe audio for this video comes from NPRs RadioLab - I do not own the rights to this. And tortoises. You know, they eat goats in africa, you know, why don't you get lions on there? 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. See do you just spell fulanis down? Someone chopped it in half. So how big a problem is this? That's Shopify dot com slash radio lab. The wrench of the white man. How far are we willing to go to stop that from happening? But then one evening in March of 1972.
