0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.7 | .jp.j. That's y-A-K-U-Lt.C-O.jp. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.5 | This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Jason Goldman. Ever hear of the pronghorn |
0:39.9 | antelope in the American West? Well, it's not really an antelope. It's actually more closely related |
0:45.9 | to giraffes than to true antelopes. And the last known migration of pronghorns occurs between |
0:52.1 | Grand Teton National Park and the upper Green River Basin in western |
0:56.5 | Wyoming. The so-called path of the pronghorn stretches more than 150 miles and is one of the longest |
1:03.9 | mammal migration corridors that remains in North America. That stretch is also the only federally |
1:10.7 | designated wildlife migration corridor. The stretch is also the only federally designated wildlife migration corridor. |
1:13.6 | The trouble is that the corridor intersects with roads and fences, presenting obvious problems |
1:19.6 | for the animals. So Wyoming officials built eight wildlife crossings along some 12 miles of U.S. |
1:26.6 | Highway 191, two overpasses and six underpasses. |
1:31.6 | But having a crossing doesn't mean that wildlife will use it, so researchers decided to assess |
1:37.1 | the impacts of the $9.7 million investment. We're out in the field on spotting scopes, |
1:43.3 | watching these animals as they're |
1:46.0 | approaching brand new structures. And this was just a perfect setting because we had been |
1:52.3 | studying these pronghorn, these animals on their long distance migration for, I don't know, |
1:57.4 | about a decade. Wildlife Conservation Society biologist Renee Seidler, now at the Idaho |
2:03.2 | Department of Fish and Game. She focused her observations on an area called Trapper's Point. |
