How are penguins adapting to climate change?
Hello and welcome to The Last Show. We cover a bunch of science on the program and you're gonna learn things on the show tonight.
What knowledge-sharing behaviors do spider monkeys exhibit?
Here are some of those things.
How do AI-generated videos influence public perception?
Videos you see online these days.
What is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and how is it diagnosed?
but when you know one is fake, could it still change your mind?
What are famous historical examples of gaslighting?
There's hot, fresh-off-the-presses new research showing that AI-generated videos can change your opinion, even when you know they're fake, even when they're labeled as fake.
How does casual sex impact confidence and happiness?
So, in approximately 10 minutes, we'll break down what that means for truth and trust in the age of deepfakes.
What health benefits do fermented foods provide?
You won't want to miss it. Then, after that... The three most sexy letters. It's such a sexy ailment, I'm pretty sure the S stands for sexy. It's I-B-S. We'll have a gastroenterologist on to demystify the ailment. I myself am a sufferer, so I got questions. Halfway through the hour, it's everything you wanted to know about irritable bowel syndrome, or in my case, irate, not irritable. Those are some of the topics we will cover tonight. There will be more. You will learn more. It's going to be a great show. It's a packed show. But for now, let's dive in with some science news. Want to be part of the last show with David Cooper? Call us and join the conversation. 1-888-505-6644 As the planet warms, there are a lot of negative downstream consequences.
See what I did there? Stream, because streams of water flowing off the glaciers. But nobody ever thinks about the penguins, the poor penguins. And the good news is the penguins might be adapting to warm weather. We're here with Jesse Rogerson. We're covering science news. Jesse is a professor at York University, an astrophysicist. I said that right. Jesse, welcome to the program.
Nailed it. Thank you. Thanks for having me.
So the penguins, I worry about them. When I think of the ice caps melting, I think, what will the penguins do? I don't care about us. I don't care about the rest of the planet. I care about the penguins. But things might actually not be so bad for them.
Well, it depends on the species. So one thing to keep in mind here is that all climate change, climate change happens everywhere and it affects the entire Earth. But it is accentuated, the effects of it, in different ecosystems. And one of those is at the poles, both north and south. And in the Antarctic, the warming that's happening across the planet is about four times faster than the warming elsewhere on the planet, on average. So, you know, it's accelerating.
Yeah.
Yeah. So that's a problem. And so what these scientists, they're worried about the penguins too. So they went down, they set up a whole bunch, they had these all like 70 time-lapse cameras. So they were like set up all these cameras near the breeding grounds of these various species of penguins, specifically the Adelie, the Chinstrap, and the Gentoo. And they were just monitoring. They started monitoring in 2012 and they were looking at where they set up their breeding grounds, when they do it, how long it lasts, the number of chicks, all that stuff, right? All the stuff that goes with breeding. And over this 10-year time span of tracking it, what they noticed is that as things got warmer, all three of the species they were tracking started doing their nesting and their breeding earlier and earlier and earlier, so much so that some of them were as much as 24 days earlier than normal in the spring.
Is that a bad thing? Well, it depends on your species. So there's, for example, the Gentoo's are actually kind of flourishing here. So the Gentoo penguins, they're more able to set up breeding grounds in a variety of spaces. So they're less worried about like having ice or having open rock or whatever. They can do it anywhere. And they also eat a larger variety of food. So when they shift earlier in the year, they can just adapt to what food is available. They can adapt to what nesting grounds are available.
