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 yacolp.co. |
0:22.7 | .j.p. That's y-A-K-U-L-T.C-O.J-P. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.7 | This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taliatta. |
0:38.3 | Birds in Europe have the same problem as residents of cities like New York in L.A., a housing crisis. |
0:45.3 | Not enough nest space to go around. For a species called pied flycatchers that migrate from West Africa, |
0:51.3 | things can get deadly if they end up nesting in the wrong spot. |
0:55.1 | There's no chance for them. |
0:56.6 | Yelmer Samplonius is a climate change ecologist at the University of Edinburgh. |
1:00.7 | He says the flycatchers face fearsome foes in the form of bigger resident songbirds called Great Tits. |
1:06.9 | The great it basically splits open the skull at the back and eats the brain. |
1:10.9 | That's the gist of it. |
1:12.1 | Samplonius and his colleague Christian Both recorded more than a decade's worth of those |
1:15.9 | conflicts in nearly a thousand nest boxes in the Dutch countryside. |
1:20.1 | They determine that warmer winters can boost resident great tit numbers, increasing the chance |
1:24.8 | of flycatcher slaughter. |
1:26.4 | But warmer springtime temperatures |
1:28.2 | can throw the two species nesting times out of sync, which would actually reduce deadly conflict. |
1:33.9 | In addition, over the past 30 years, male flycatchers seem to be arriving earlier and earlier, |
1:39.5 | regardless of springtime temperature trends. In other words, it's complex. |
