the that's it for now, you are up to date and up next, as a documentary, looking at how beds are adapting to changing environments as long use and dw comp. i am told me a lot about myself and the team. thanks for your company. the type of data so much for the 1st 2 years is just as i've been in a coma close by persecution and flights mean? well, for con dreams of another world wake up on last starts june, 1st on dw, the, the
6:16 am
buds, some of the most well loved creatures on us. but as humans cause the planet to change as an increasingly rapid speed. but it's being forced to adopt them to cope with greater threats than ever before. such as changing habitats, culture climates, and dangerous new nathan, the badge buffalo for the survival. scientists are on covering the different ways in which they are adapting the we discover in the search even
6:17 am
more incredible than we ever since most of the, the the, this is hell go live. the smooth archipelago of the north german coast. it's gained a reputation to being one of the most spectacular places to witness but migration a so many, but to use it as a stop as a site to refuel on the drums. it's also home to one of the oldest, one of the large groups of the prison, the work talk to your can dear. she works with the institute for avian. we're search and will help him say he's part of a team. the starting, the but populations here hold on to the library, this is the land has
6:18 am
a very long history of keeping on. it's a logical record i'm. you can smile on it again with a painter who move to have a good land and the 1840s fell. in love and then spend most of his life here thing i'm leaving, you began keeping methodical records of the burger and lockers and also published them in the book. until fact, that's why we know so much about local bird life in the 19th century division that we've of easy for with a few and not getting the problem. but the real scientific records began in the 19 sixty's. when the data became the standardized recordings were taken 7 times a day every day. and the tradition has continued to the present. yeah, we have the world oldest data collection with standardized catches and can draw conclusions from that to see. we know how populations have evolved and above all, how migratory periods have developed in the wake of climate change with the theme of under the
6:19 am
yoke and his colleagues. use what's known as hell. good trumps shepherd ing budge. the blonde says into a fund says that they can be called safely. the once they have been collected, information about them is recording, such as body weight of the wind. blowing on the feathers reveals the buds from the muscle composition a good indicator of general health. they know exactly which spaces have been cold and home and neither of this information can then be compared to historical records to understand changes over time, the successors they've
6:20 am
noticed that long distance migrants are in trouble and the facing steep declines. the exact reason for this is all node, but it still to be because of global habitats, destruction and lots of insects. ready unimportant appraisals for many bugs. for the loss of migrants isn't the run the finding or y'all can, and his team have also discovered that black cops a migrating more than 3 weeks earlier than they did 60 years ago. these small warblers typically migrate sauce to the southern mediterranean and africa during winter to reach a warmer climate with more sources. doctor joseph, when he's studying the navigation here on hill good land,
6:21 am
recent tracking data shows no need to black cops migrate totally. but the direction of the migration has also changed the reasons, but it's mike, right, is because they want to get to a place with a more clements climate. but recently, and, but recently, i mean, within half a century of now really and boats are starting to migrate north, specifically to the united kingdom. previously, those who migrated north would perish in the cooler conditions. but now many who choose this route, this is the only thing has been question was the, this is in response to the fact that it's just not as cold in the north as it used to be. and also the impressed and people really like feed into birds. and so actually like cods hofstadter to use both feed is comes, but if it is in the winter, and this is in the thoughts feelings to why they are so successful and going. yeah,
6:22 am
in some instances precisely the wrong direction. it's not just black cops who seem to have successfully adapted to roaming, punish the air on how good a land there is, a suff and see, but that has also great cleats beneficial if i started without the fan, it's for us to begin breeding on how of good land and 1991 and their numbers have increased steadily, sense was tired of the growth. so the idea that i'm not even offering numbers kind of count for any extra income, the need to know some growth could be explained by other than it's being attracted to the colonies. but the species is also extending its range generally, which means it's doing quite well in the current conditions in the north and see if we can get funding video and not to clock the safe, such as hiring and micro some of the governance favor to praise bases and to being
6:23 am
pushed further and further north, this woman c temperatures. so perhaps this is helping 2 suitcases counted population the gun is phenomenal ability to dive. also allows them to access a greater variety of fish, some of the c bucks, but not every but i'm seriously adapt to the challenges of climate change, the community that's about sophia and contrasts again. it can, he wakes in foam or as have declined. charlotte and one reason might be because they searched for food on the surface and having difficulty accessing fish from on the open. but we also observed during the particularly hot summer of 2018, that adult kitty wake simply a band and their nests and the rags. it was really hot on the glitter, temperatures defined as high as 52 degrees celsius documenting that was clearly too hot offices. the adult birds were still in the area,
6:24 am
but they've left of their nests and buffalo. the awfully the casey wait. such as one's pieces of thousands across the world. there's a decreasing a number, the one for things, most iconic spaces. the sky now is famous for its rich and intricate. so the smooth grounds, nothing but often chooses to raise tricks on grass and farm. historically, the lack of yourself across some groceries has allowed them to access the grounds to nest and to keep an eye out for predators.
6:25 am
with the intensification of agriculture is habitat is becoming a dangerous one. the wide spread change from spring to awesome. certain serials has increased the density of crow pushing sky locks to nest near tractor tram lines, making them vulnerable to crumpling predators as pesticides and we'd colors of spray more and more on crops. insects. an important part of the food source are also being diminished. and so in europe, nearly 70000000 individuals have been lost since 1919. and the numbers still continue to full. the professor amanda room and her colleagues at the corner elaborate bonus, ology in north america, uncovered and even more devastating to decline. in north america,
6:26 am
we have lost 3000000000 periods from the reading population of nearly 30 percent of birds or one in 3, or is that have been lost to just in my lifetime allowed. so since 1970, we're seeing these declines that are really spanning almost all habitat and almost all groups of species and no longer restricted to dispute sees that we might of, you know, already been thinking of as requiring conservation attention. instead, we're now seeing some of our greatest declines in space. these federal funding that are common in wide spread. the declines that we've documented here in north america are in no way you need it. there have been studies that have been coming out around the world that are documenting your comfortable declines. so it's, it really was a wake up call, i think for a lot of the conservation community here. but it's provide lots of what's known as
6:27 am
ecosystem services. they disperse seats, pollinate cones of keeping sect population such as birds decline. so to will these vital services if an environment of conditions are not sufficient, not healthy enough to support birds. well, then they're not likely to be good for people either. it's a birds can be a real sentinel of environmental change. we've heard of like canaries in the coal mine and that's not so far fetched right when we see the car lines and birds that should alert us so that something's happening in the environment that we should pay attention to. because ultimately, it can come back and affect us as well. the 3rd
6:28 am
step, being the subject, to decline for a variety of reasons, such as habitats destruction, fragmentation, pollution, global warming, the meanwhile, human populations around the globe of reached time high h valium, to sustain this growing population. agriculture is becoming increasingly intensive . some birds have adapted to thrive in these conditions. grazing on managed gross cochlan learning to utilize the source of high quality food as a loud bulge, such as conical goose to increase dramatically in europe. but as we continue to add the noise,
6:29 am
the planet we're seeing new and unusual problem is a much for all the to mitigate natural noise such as wind birds can change the page volume or time at which they sing, which in areas of high human population thurman not from noises which are not so easily overcome the max planck institute for own apology in germany is one of the largest sensors for bud science in the world. but the full front of coverage research is don't to henrich broke. he began studying the effect of such sounds on the verge of 20 years ago. that's what we do to have them when the birds have to compete with noise, they sing louder. so have you met? you must do that too. we also raise their voices and go to the
6:30 am
sky. some of the server birds does the same. for example, nightgowns and berlin altima. they sing louder when there's more traffic noise. that means that the animals sing more quietly, the weekend and cheering the week until they have a nice ready for that's not because the birds relax and take it easy because of weekends. there is less commuter traffic and therefore less noise. because fuck you, as a result, the birds sing more quietly. ultimately we are the ones producing all the noise and compose the birds to sing louder and louder and sing and my, the all types of thing. so as mentioned is the reason for the 1st humans noise is a huge problem in our best, but it's become increasingly clear. the noise has similar effects and birds for this. for example, city traffic causes chronic stress and birds, which in turn suppresses their immune systems as tables. the nightstands, our latest findings, one which we recently published here to show the traffic noise can cause birds to
6:31 am
have trouble learning, to sing for us to pull the food i pulled niema because of just as human children learn to speak because he mentioned the birds have to learn to sing the traffic noise has the effect that it is taking them longer to develop their song. and they also make more mistakes when learning nothing less than only a scene of the song quality is inferior and sound funny to have to finish the thing because i'm, i'm just going to say 1st i'd like to see and so i can implement this overall fitness and potentially lead to a change in a populations dynamic right? doesn't guns to got poor. and that's an important point. especially for species that are threatening to do that to you, of course. because along with all the other issues, animals face to, to human induced environmental change, such as the climate, crisis of pollution, etc. there's also noise that noise could be the final straw to try some species to extinction, something. but then i need to often some of them but it's not just the noise.
6:32 am
light is also wreaking havoc on birds around the world. the reason male songbirds stop singing in the winter is because the go not frank. this is a result of the day, like, like, not true, sure thing in which with the last day life they can no longer produce the whole much to modify the brands and therefore allow them to sing and to bring but street lights and towns and cities. each this natural life cycle resulting in budge coming into breeding condition much sooner than they would otherwise not truly do made in the off spring least the nest, when there was level for them, gets to each light pollution from buildings is also appropriate to some unknown reason. but it's a drawing to the source of light causing life threatening conditions.
6:33 am
cornell museum of flesh birds in north america, votes of foss, collection of birds, many of which were found just fatalities from hitching buildings. dr. benjamin vandorn and his colleagues studying these books. so lot of these birds come to us because they have collided with windows or buildings. so one of these pieces is a block sort of blue or blur here, which is a song bird migrant. this is the fate for pending until it's across not only north america, but the wells with the use of new technology from the kona lab as on the foliage in new york state. there is hope that we can make a difference to adrian. dr. is part of this team, migratory birthday tranquil ignites and, and it's actually in ways of
6:34 am
a hidden phenomenon. if there is costs, we try to sort of make these market towards your initials for its come to life and use most the raiders for that these a whether re dos or a $155.00 dosage across the us site. mostly used for detecting rain. but the scientists here at cornell found a way to use them for detecting but the whether 8 or state campaign a c individual versus maybe like a rain plows. right, right. and you also don't see the individual droplets what you see. so if this density of mass of rain from the air is the same reverse, although it's not possible to see which exact spaces are on the move. if we but migration across the usa can be tracked and displayed on a map. so you see all the green dots on your radar stations and in colors in the back, you'll see the migratory birds and,
6:35 am
and you'll see the brighter colors. that means more bars in the air. the red line, the policy is across the screen represents the point. but which day becomes nice, as soon as that's sort of gets dark, you see all these bright super bright colors popping up. so really good migration. nice. we track all so how many black migratory birds are in flight at any given moment? so you see staggering numbers, we're now it's 830400 1000000 birds. and there you see now the sun rise and you see as soon as some sort of starts to appear or landing. i think this too is especially good though. take it easy for very large scale patterns across the us. something we can never do before. there's like millions and billions of books in the air. and it has been just been impossible to count that it seems like in the middle of the night, you can see if it's only,
6:36 am
since we know how to use the rate or network that the, the sort of girl, if you own bird migration itself, you can zoom out to the scale of an entire confidence and see what the migration looks like. and how is this the view to the space both cost technology to most of the truck migrations. it can predict them to as weather radars have been around for decades, the archive can migration data from the last 20 years can be collected and compared to the weather conditions, but we're experiencing by combining those 2 sources of information. we can create a predictive model that will tell us how much migration we expected to take place under a given set of conditions in a given area. and really convert a weather forecast into a bird migration for jump to benjamin's on door and uses this information to
6:37 am
protect, but it's against the dangers of light pollution. so if our migration forecast sites, for example, that we expect millions of birds to be migrating over, dallas, texas. and we will then put out in advisory that day to, to say, hey, we expect lots of migration tonight. make sure to turn out your, your lights tonight, and so our network of people will work to make that happen. then that night hopefully they'll be the fewer lights on, in that city. turning out lights makes a difference even at the level of the individual window in the building. and through our work, we were able to show at, at one convention center in chicago, that if this building has participated in a lifestyle program and turned off se half of its lights on a given night for a long period of that bird mortality at that one building could have been reduced by 60 percent or more. and over the course of 20 years we're talking about $5000.00
6:38 am
or more versa. and that could have been said. there are many challenges in the world that are really complex, like light climate change, a light light pollution and the impacts of light on birds. this is a problem that people can make a difference. it's really something people can do with just a flick of, of a light switch, migratory birds. some of those that are being hit hardest by changing planet. but some books pieces are adapting to the new environments created by humans. adults bugs introduce a young to these opportunities so they to grow up to be told her aunt of people with disabilities as it allows them to not only live along side humans, but to take advantage of the
6:39 am
one of the most as an add up taishan to a man made world is the gulf the they see flat troops of city buildings as perfect nesting platforms at a safe place to raise the checks tables a land to follow peoples should use feeding when the most food is available. if, if that means for jane at night, pale next thinking up in areas, i'm much higher rates anywhere in the past. same one, locals. amazing in the app in areas. sir, it seems like something is going right for them. still to model in goodness from the university of extra to you studying tearing goals on the south coast of england
6:40 am
. i've noticed, just like there's a one i'm out in town, but people have the fee taken by goals and it often when they're not paying attention and goals will just catch them unaware. often flying in from hines, are you going to show that i want to do this? so actually paying attention to where people are looking. i'm now using this to as, as a way to decide how to get receipts, sorry, designs and experiments to explicitly test the model in places a bag of chips on the ground. and looks a way to see how long it takes until the snatched the
6:41 am
within. and leave 15 seconds, they've gone the now for the next test, i want to go react when modeling maintains her gaze off to placing the chips down. she waits the but this time, the goal doesn't take the risk. those who are brave enough to steal food whilst being watched, often take a significantly longer time to make this decision compared to those that think that going unnoticed. they wait, typically over twice as long as someone's not looking. then it's going to be much easier for them to then get to wait for the pass and is able to react. because
6:42 am
obviously i see man is a lot bigger than a goal and that's a lot more danger. so go back by faster. so it really would pay off for both to be paying attention to where people are looking and see approach fees when people on but somebody can take this ability to exploit charging opportunities. one step further, one of the world's most intelligent spaces about this here at the tower of london. chris scaife is a human award, a position which requires at least 22 years of military service. he's responsible for looking off to these regal creatures. good morning, a to gaining the title of raven, most of the ravens have been here since at least the reign of king charles the 2nd in the 1600s without the ravens. so the
6:43 am
legend goes, the town will crumble into dust, and grey tom will before the kingdom. so that protection is a central the ravens of the largest spaces of calls. it was the wingspan of most 5 feet and much larger brains than most of the boats. and the wilds these inquisitive creatures and successfully as in a wide range of habitats. thanks to the gen list dot. you think pretty much everything they can find the because of the great celebrity here that visited by millions of tourists each. you know, that's it. and the ravens know just how to use this to the advantage. i'm always taken back by what they do and how they observe humans. they're watching is all the time they offer food. that's what they're often that planning the day around what
6:44 am
they can discovery and very often it's what they can steal, of course, as well, they work together. i can see them pining technically. how's it going to do this? and they use the crest as a bank and hide behind was a, one of the district and on the suspect can visited until they was ready to start. then a spike in picked assignment dropped a bicycle for the last i can watch that the but it's actually planning on salting and talking to each other about how they're going to do it. the ravens are intelligent enough to work together for food, or say no, there's collaboration will lead to a meal. they can both shot but some birds are capable of team work, even if it doesn't lead to an immediate reward. to august phone, buying from the mac to frank institute for wonderful. the truth is starting
6:45 am
intelligence and cooperation in paris hair. it's laura park intent over here. there are around 350 known spaces apart, most of which live in complex sophie flux. although the brain's around me around the size of a wall, not pirates power, no great types and dolphins in that cognitive performance. and so they can be trained to carry out, come on well, goes to into team, have told african a great parts to exchange tokens for food. but once the 6th strain show becomes blocked, how do they react? test subjects receipts order tulsa's f, $15.00 experiments up, but without any opportunity for exchange. so it just gets the totals and no food.
6:46 am
that's it. next, all it is, it's neighbor and it's 10 exchanging or paying for that. at the same time, it's next sofas. the pirate with the tokens doesn't want them to go to waste. so it pauses the tokens to which neighbor, at least they can benefit from the food. so we found that right? parents have other individuals to achieve or goal without immediate benefit to them says and even was also an opportunity for us if for patients. and this is really a spectacular findings because such says this f and have only been shown in great a species and compare of the studies. so in our closest relatives, and our finding is really the 1st report of a 1st, the coping in and among the median species.
6:47 am
an explanation for altruism with a pump now is that the 2 parents become stronger as a unit. so they can better take care of that checks, but for some reason, power at school. so help those who are not the pump is helping others to achieve a goal like this is very complex. as the individual must recognize when health is needed. when those exchange holes have blocked, the pirates with the tokens can understand, so the neighbor won't benefit from them. and so just trying to help the really hope that our findings with make it very clear that we have completed the estimate, it's in intelligence. and this is what we got them a said a, so to say, because they have amazing abilities that
6:48 am
intelligence isn't always the key to survival when a rapidly changing kind of sometimes district is to be adaptable. and once pieces of part is used, its adaptability to firmly establish itself as a new resident in new york. the roads ring in ring necked parakeet for the growing population of parakeets is also having an unexpected impact on london's population of power going focus edge druids is a paragraph research, and he's come to this church in south london where a full paragraph and checks the just fledged often nesting on the spot, but almost at the base of the chat spot. now, where we can then go out and look for some pre remains to
6:49 am
know the breeding season is over and can look at the remains of that prey to work on what they've been eating. ah, let's see what we got down here in test take paragraphs. i mean, feel loads of different stuff down here as lots and lots of white and gray thorough pitching feathers, pigeons, so usually the power returns go to prey, but one new color is appearing more and more in the dots. the adults a catching power keeps. i'm bringing them back to feed, to grow intrigues it just 140 to all day in the power going dodge, the large orange peaks a shop and in the adjustable. and so we're left as evidence for it to on. so this
6:50 am
very question. so what i'm doing here, just looking for these, thanks to go out so you can see the bright green instead of the par, teach, you know, when you see a place you can see, see how old is luminous green it is in this bright red beam. it's not known exactly how these pirates originating from asia and sub saharan africa, made some way to launch the one theory is that they would kept as pets in the cities. some managed to escape. a may successfully bred that are now estimated to be around 8600 breeding past living in the u. k. pair. we're going to have a very wide don. they'll take whatever is in abundance. they buy these parents, which originally started reading in the u. k. in 1969 and actually between 19952000, that population increased by almost 2000 percent. and because of so many of them in
6:51 am
greater london with finding that reading it power keeps of perhaps taking a 2nd off the place in the most eastern prior. during the breathing season, in the late 19 fifties, the population of peregrine focus crushed due to widespread use of the pesticide d. d. t. toxic chemical with sprayed on crops, poisoning the prey, and working its way up the food chain into the parent rooms themselves. this caused them to lay eggs with shelves to put to fit for a king number of the way so the incubating nato. once this link was named d d t was finally bind in the u. k. in the 19 ages, paragraphs of sense made a startling recovery, reaching almost 1700 pads across person. more than double the population before d d t. as a result, that traditional coastal habitats have become saturated. so many have adapted
6:52 am
towards urban environments can offer. instead, the, all of these old bits of power paints and into his line is up now is kind of going to be quite a few here. right? so i'm ready to count. now let's see how many we've got. okay, so let's go through 123456, the 7, so the 8th and the 940 for 1. 88. it's 9. 19919191. so a little bit less than last year. but actually that is still a huge number one. so i thought i had this sheet i'll be watching on the webcam or took $37.00. and also that was the last minute power keeps on becoming the important paul. the power we can talk, i bring that power seats continue to grady i out in all the parts of england. and i think everyone's already that i'm probably going to be doing even better than they
6:53 am
already. all those type of things would have feeding on federal pigeons and stallings but as if you then asked to bring that power kicked into the mix as a space is the, is, is, or around the place relatively easy to catch. the not sure that's probably going to increase the reading success plays power goods the the power keys and compare goods. ability to adapt to a changing world is a hopeful sign that others may be able to do the say the which the better to do this. they must be able to learn from new experiences. it still does in humans and other mammals. a vital part of learning is the foundation of members. when dreaming. the, the
6:54 am
talk to june, nina, on gary and from the max planck institute for lona solar tree studies. if bugs like us re experience daily events during rims and in the states in which we might treat the budapest pigeon as transparent diamonds instead of the movements of its pupils can be recorded when it is a closed. but to study this at night g a nina must observe it on to improve red light, which the book cannot detect the softest switching on the infrared camera. she enters the avery to put the pigeon to bed on. it's got the
6:55 am
where we're seeing here is sleeping pigeon. the pigeon is initially a non room sleep. its eyes are closed and is a briefing regularly and it's quite quiet. and then it enters into rem sleep. so the ice starts moving around and you see the pupils constricting rapidly. so our study, we found out that these people, larry constrictions, were specifically linked to this particular slip state through random screens. we also showed for the 1st time that the pupils of pigeons are constricting during a courtroom during wakefulness. so, because these people are restrictions occur during the day in seeming to be during emotional states and the rear occurred during rend sleep. we think that the people are re constrictions,
6:56 am
might reflect times when the brain is reactivate. a brain networks that haven't been activated during these emotional states and the brain is replaying and processing these information. the, we still don't fully understand the new or logical functions of dreaming all shows that studies seem to suggest that other animals use dreams to cement experiences from the day in the memory. and the from the, from the bugs in are rapidly changing. anthropogenic was disability to learn because of the 5 piece scale. the there are many ways in which buds are responding to a changing planet. some a gave me the opportunity to thrive in new habitats by accessing more nutritional
