It would look almost the same but much shorter. They eliminate over 250,000 goats. But as far as I know, there are none for Radiolab. To what cause was the demise of the Pinta tortoises attributed? It's it's a very simple song. Joint Review But here's the problem. Yes. 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. And then you go on and actually in under a year through this aerial attack, they end up wiping out 90% of the goats on Isabella. I spent what two grand friend is The beginning is the beginning of a new a new future for the island. And when you set foot first on pin to you immediately since your abundance all the insect life and birds problem is on pena things were spinning out of control vegetation was growing wild in the forest was getting overgrown with the wrong kind of plants and the whole ecosystem was just teetering out of balance And one of the reasons for this, according to Linda Coyote is that we had an island with no tortoises because tortoises are sort of like the lawnmowers. But then my power supply didn't work and my nook died. You could see the marks where it was just chopped up. So what if we took those tortoises and read them together, select them for the next generation. You have to find all those other goats circle real low, you fly around them, round them up, try and get them in a single group and then They start picking off the goats one x 1 x one and they're actually videos online where you see these packs of goats running for their lives. And what we'd do is we'd find a location as close as we could. Now most of these plants are actually probably harmless and you know like you said Galapagos national park they spend tons of money, tons of time trying to keep invasives out. Dylan keith is our Director of sound design. the new york public school system has been called the most racially segregated in the country. Week two weeks go by, you fire up the helicopter. Now linda says in the end you don't actually need to do the full aggressive four generation breeding thing. Yeah. I just came in second. Hmm. But as they become rare and rare, they're harder and harder to detect. There was no shade, tortoises were sitting out in the sun or crowded around a couple of stalks that were still there. I'm soren wheeler lulu and latif are out this week. 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. Alan Alda on the new yorker radio hour from W N. Y. It goes off and has this kid and it's very solitary, which is the last thing you want when you're trying to get goats off islands. 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? Sometimes you have a year this is justa flop. You know, they basically feed on the blood of the baby birds. No, no, no that's not. So where your values lie. 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. Yeah, that that was a very unexpected discovery, takes a couple steps to get there, but just to set it up back in 2000, she was on floreana island for the first time. There's 100,000 of them, So many doubters, Carl says even heard the idea, why don't you put lions? This foundation is this idea of pristine wilderness from the very beginning, I think all of us well I can't speak for other people, but but you always have this idea of wanting to get it back to some kind of pre human condition, pre human being, the operative word. Can you imagine Schools of Hammerhead sharks like 500 800 passing in front of you like tuna. Jun 24, 2022. 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? Oh my God, there are these three massive tortoises just clustered together under a tree. And so what they decided to do is leave the judas, goats on various islands where they can live out their sterilized days chomping on grass, sharing war stories until such time as it might be needed again, is the, is the war between the greens and the and the fishermen and such, is that still hot and difficult And are they still no killing tortoises and they're not the fishermen. a short break.

Same exact story that Darwin saw these processes that he described that just never ever stop. What's that? He's also a well known musician in Galapagos turns out thanks to the Galapagos national park Charles Darwin Foundation Island conservation and the Galapagos Conservancy. It's white and it's really loud. 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. Thank you. You just grabbed it just like that. One I particularly love is Radiolab, the NPR mix of nerdy science and audio bombast. Earlier this summer, its gregarious hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich produced an episode entirely on the Galapagos Islands. We all know the Galapagoss role as a laboratory of evolution. So they poked around in the areas where we got the one and I found a shell of a female, how had this female toward has died? Yeah, judas codes. 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. I'm surrounded by shelves and on the shelves are these tiny little plastic cups that are filled with flies. And just how far are we willing to go to stop that from happening? 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. You had tons of sailors making these long voyages across the Pacific and Galapagos was the major ports on the whaling route where you come and get fresh water, but you'd also come in and pick up tortoises, land tortoises and you know, boats would take away several 100 of them often and turn them upside down and they can last for up to a year and a half in the hold of a ship like lying there, upside down, lying there upside down in order to make space for the tortoises. Mhm tortoises walking around. The wrench of the white man. And the fishermen are like, who are you to tell me that I can't feed my family. So not only that, but according to linda, those goats, couple islands where they've been eliminated, fishermen have put them back. Surely in four generations you could have 90% of the pinto genome restored. Um, so it's like you have you have a couple of shrew like creatures walking around. We were really starting to get kind of desperate about options. In any case for about 40 years. And I remember asking one guy, they're driving so slow, I can just walk up to them. 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? iTunes Overcast App Radiolab Page RADIOLAB Baby Blue Blood Drive Did you know that horseshoe crabs have blue blood? How did these little fly babies? You know, on average 50% of your genome comes from your mom and 50% from your dad. You know, until the originals are ready. How far are we willing to go to stop that from happening? It grabbed the goats dart, um, and then in a matter of minutes, snip snip did you do this? WebRadiolab Galapagos Podcast RESURRECTION (18:01) 10. We are ascending and we have our dreams. And those are really interesting ideas, but at some point they're gonna get hungry and they're going to start eating all the other things that you know, you treasure, like the occasional tourists in any case after endless planning and meetings took eight years, I think they commence project Isabella. The adult fly seems to be harmless. So now they had a dilemma. TRANSCRIPTS We are working to provide transcripts for as much of our WebCommission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs. Seriously? The each legs, two clutches were ultimately laid in his corral and the scientists are like George got our hopes up dramatically. But then the national Park comes in same group that's doing the goat eradication And they tell the fishermen they're overfishing the sea cucumber. So I met this woman named Hanky Yaeger who is like a plant scientist. The tough question now is if we concede that we can't any longer save all the species, then does that put us in the situation of having to decide which ones will save and which ones we won't, And do we have any basis for making those kinds of decisions? He didn't seem to like humans and maybe that's why he survived. That was definitely not what I thought you were gonna say. Contact us, indicating the AAPB ID (cpb-aacip/80-80vq8sgb). But according to Linda sometime in the late 1970s, the goats got brave. Things might not be silly. Radio lab is supported by Teladoc. WebWNYC is America's most listened-to public radio station and the producer of award-winning programs and podcasts like Radiolab, On the Media, and The Brian Lehrer Show. And how far are we willing to go to return a place to what it was before we got there. And tortoises. The nostrils have have big holes, something had gotten inside this little finches, nostrils drilled these holes And it was now eating the flesh on the inside of the bird's nostrils. So they went island by island, took a little bit of blood from all these different tortoises. So if you can better automate that and leverage intelligence to make sense. Mhm We'll be back in less than 200,000 years. The guy who wins, he spent $500,000. And so we want to ask for your help now, as we enter this new stage, this new year for us. He like points at the cars in front and behind as if like dude, seriously, you see how many of us there are. He was on santa cruz Island having dinner with some friends and we got into chatting about tortoises and one of the people he's eating with says, hey, I was recently on pinata Island collecting snails and I saw this tortoise and I thought, do you know what you have done? It wouldn't notice that you were there. That's really the classical definition of a species. But I mean in the bigger picture, you can make the argument that humans now affect every square meter of the earth. So we we go outside. So Gisella thought just by chance some of these tortoises are going to have a little bit more Penta D. N. A. And every once in a while one of these Hitchhikers slips under the radar and just wreaks havoc. Really? Bonobos. 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. Initially it was carl's suggestion was goats, gregarious and like being in groups, they're herd animals. And we all agreed because the calls are really distinct, easy to tell apart. Yeah. This is radio lab. She sees a small group of birds who have mixed up jeans hybrid cluster some genes from the small tree finches and some from the medium tree finch is what does that mean? That's exactly how he sees it. I'm a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University said that at this meeting there was one guy who just couldn't take it all I remember is him just fuming. And sometimes when they were done and the ship was filled with whale products, there's no room down here. Those arguments came up frequently to which carl would respond, Are we going to let tortoises go extinct. When you needed to stop for breath, your hand ran light and steady. She says if we keep doing that, taking the babies with the most painted DNA, breeding them together slowly. 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. Someone chopped it in half. The drip pools were just dry dust, bowls. So they began to frantically study it. Test the outer edges of what you think you know. All lower case for a free 14 day. WebRadiolabGalapagos Rebroadcast 2017. Um they seem to have stopped, you know taking over National Park and killing tortoises. Support Radiolab by becoming a member of The Lab (https://members.radiolab.org/) today. So then they thought we've got to take matters into our own hands basically. Our main story is the haunting tale of a chimp named Lucy. You know, like nature in its purest form. 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. In fact one guy spoke with Harry Green. I'm just I'm robert Krulwich, this is radio lab in this hour. They hear your footsteps, they raised their heads, they come out to see what's going on and then they get whacked. This is carl Campbell. It would be lovely if we could find something like that because if they could find that chemical that love chemical that the flies used to attract each other, they could disrupt it, confuse the flies and screw up their mating. Today we begin on a plane which carried our newly married producer, tim howard to the Galapagos. We are dedicating a whole hour to the Galapagos archipelago, the place that inspired Darwins theory of evolution and natural selection. Just wandering by. R. i. What happened to the forest, goats, goats? These are such alien looking creatures. Radiolab is supported by listeners like you. Coincidentally, these are the topics that Radiolab also loves. And Arnaud told me that this year small tree finches so far we had only two nests with fledglings and all the others were dead. The adult fly is actually vegetarian. The warbler finch is the smallest of the Darwin's finches. That is the sound of a tortoise breathing. They've got, they sterilized 39 of them. It shows you also evolution. As our co-Hosts Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser are out this week, we are re-sharing the perfect episode to start the summer season! All right on top of the cave, drop out one of the two shooters that was in the helicopter and he'd physically go into the cave shoe, the goats out or shoot them on sight. 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. This tiny little dead finch in this box, wow! Exactly. Image credits: Rene via Adobe Stock. He says that when he first got to the Galapagos in the eighties, he couldn't believe that the place was real. I've got my thing over here and you got your thing over there. But the interesting thing was from year to year it got more difficult. So many kids want to make a change, but a high school girls volleyball team is redefining what it means to play together. Support Radiolab by becoming a member of. Um, me and Brooke, they make announcements and at a certain point, the flight attendants, they open up all of the overhead bins and they walk up and down spraying some sort of insecticide for what for like invasive species. And this guy, he doesn't even say anything. What was that? We had episodes fully translated into american sign language with transcripts in braille. So that was my first experience. Yeah, I carried your oxygen and you walked beside me through the lobby commenting on the decor. But when I ask charlotte what she makes of all of these changes, she said, I think probably too little too late. I think yeah, whatever bugs might have snuck out of the plane. The medium tree finch has patrol that boundary. 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. Yeah, mother, mid eighties. Okay, um it's sort of the first thing that really just like, where the hell am I I? Radiolab is supported in part by the Alfred P.

The show is nationally syndicated 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. 14K subscribers in the Radiolab community. And of course the shock was there was a wave went around the room when he said that I recall seeing a second wave of the spanish translation passed around the room. On the one hand, the tortoises needed help. 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. What if on these islands, thousands of tourists arrive every day carrying fruits and chocolates and souvenirs jumping from island to island. I met him at this pizza place the election had happened the night before and did he win? So they lash out, they marched down Charles Darwin avenue, they would come down the street throwing rocks and sticks and everything. We have at least five species that are known to be facing extinction and another six in serious decline. It's kind of late, the sun is just starting to set. Nearly 200 years later, the Galpagos are undergoing rapid changes that continue to pose and perhaps answer critical questions about the fragility and It's actually the footprint of the white man. They've got to limit their catch. Hosted by Latif Nasser and WebRadiolab Science Friday See All Podcasts FEATURED EPISODES Jane Mayer on the Ethical Questions About Justice Clarence Thomas The staff writer discusses the latest financial-disclosure scandal involving the judge, and the decline in public trust in the Supreme Court. Do you hear me? Yes, this fellow, he's a well known tortoise researcher. This is radio lab, we'll be back with producer Tim Howard and this hour on Galapagos. They were having a meeting about this that's conservationist, josh Donlan. If they can't make babies, the population will crash and in some cases you can successfully eradicate a species. Our fact checkers are diane kelly, Emily Krieger and Adam Sibyl Hi, I'm Erica in Yonkers leadership. But we will be different when we come back. Our newsletter comes out But there's a much bigger question here that that goes way beyond globally, which is basically like what is the right way to protect nature now? And really what that guy was specifically saying was don't be precious. You know sleuthing adventure sonya and her team rounded up some of the birds. I want this to work. Radiolab The test-writers definitely listen to this podcast to get ideas for science passages The science passages you see on the LSAT often have to do with evolution, psychology, and interaction between humans and nature. you're radically remaking the world. But then she sees something amazing in that genetic data. The tortoise is a tortoise is a tortoise. We are dedicating a whole hour to the Galapagos archipelago, the place that inspired Darwins theory of evolution and natural selection. I mean we're probably talking just a few goats, but by the 1990s those few goats, the population had exploded to about 100,000 goats. It, it's a combination of reasons on the one hand, fishermen have started to participate in the actual fisheries management more because it seems like they realize if they're going to keep their livelihood, they can't just fish everything out. So when you think about trying to inspect the bridge and every pillar, you're talking about extensive amount of work. So carl kept mulling this problem, what would it take to basically make you know, the perfect judas goat. 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. But on the other hand, he might have actually been like the worst possible candidate for last of his kind. But then at the same time the tourism economy has been taking off and so all of these fishermen, they find that it's easier for them to actually survive by using their boats to take tourists around island island. Unlike on the island of Isabella, which became barren, on the island of Pinta the vegetation has grown out of control due to the extinction of the tortoises (and no goats) by 1906. You mean eat the fly larva? To take good question. And you have this one here. It's this on ending struggle. Let's just take some tortoises from a nearby island and put them back on Penta. They were a little bit different depending on which island the finches lived on with the beaks. And that's paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Let me start by telling you about the tortoise. The show is known for its deep-dive journalism and innovative sound design. They kept them around. WebRadiolab is a radio program broadcast on public radio stations in the United States, and a podcast available internationally, both produced by WNYC. You're not sad and he's like a friend. Fantasy is that the flies use a pheromone to attract the opposite sex. But whatever the scene is that just doesn't have any people but is carrying that idea, those pictures in your head even like useful anymore. So Darwin's finches In short, Darwin! My name is Gisele. They'll actually go into caves. This one, which first aired As our co-Hosts Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser are out this week, we are re-sharing the perfect episode to start the summer season! The new york public school system has been called the most racially segregated in the country. We went live on the radio that was so fun. It's called Penta. They're like the size of jeez, I don't even know what their massive, they look like. Normally a female goat would be in heat for maybe a couple of days. I call it the phoenix blodgett. They took me outside. They literally drove the rangers out of the National Park headquarters and took it over on Isabella. They sterilize them and put them on pinter. So I'm just going to step in to play an episode that well, if I'm honest, it's just one that I felt like hearing and running again at this moment.
