Unlocking the secrets of Ancient DNA
BODY:
Recent breakthroughs in DNA technology have allowing scientists to reconstruct the full genome of extinct animals, and learn so much more about the way they lived. Professor Craig Millar of Auckland University discusses the fascinating world of ancient DNA, and new discoveries including how New Zealand birds evolved.
EXTENDED BODY:
For scientists like Associate Professor Craig Millar of Auckland University, finding ancient DNA is relativiely easy. All it takes is fragments of bone, hair, feathers, eggs, or even faeces.
The DNA is extracted by grinding up the remains and mixing it with detergent to break down the lipids and fats. Enzymes are then added to remove the protein, and itis bound to a compound similar to glass beads, leaving pure DNA.
This is then put in a machine that allows for what is called Massively Parallelled DNA sequencing, which can analyse billions of molecules a the same time, making it much quicker and cheaper than ever before to sequence a genome.
Craig Millar says this technology has lead to significant discoveries about the evolution of New Zealand's native birds.
Craig Millar has been working in the Antarctic for over a decade collecting blood from living Adelie penguins and bones from sub-fossil penguins, to work out the rate of evolution.
He and his colleagues have also discovered that moa eggs were in fact very fragile, and if the larger female had sat on it to incubate, it would have broken. DNA fragments found on the outside of moa egg fragments have shown that it was the smaller male that incubated the egg, and that is most likely curled itself around it to keep it warm and avoid crushing it.
Associate Professor Millar says the Moa genome is currently being fully sequenced for the first time. Moa are the only species that didn't have wings, so scientists are looking closely at all the genes involved in wing development to see which are functional or non functional.

Professor Budd is in New Zealand as a visiting Seelye Fellow at the University of Auckland. As well as collaborating with science scholars, he will give a public lecture in Auckland on 18 August and is also visiting several schools in Palmerston North. His public lecture will use differential equations, statistics and a touch of chaos to see whether maths can help us make sense of one of the biggest issues of our time: climate change.

To Catch a Trapdoor Spider
BODY:
Trapdoor spiders live on mud banks in long silk-lined tunnels with a camouflaged trapdoor, and Vikki Smith has developed a cunning way of luring them out
EXTENDED BODY:
By Alison Ballance
Spider expert Vikki Smith has invented a novel way of luring reclusive trapdoor spiders out of their long burrows – ‘beetling’. The standard technique that arachnologists use is vibrations from an electric toothbrush, but New Zealand Cantuaria trapdoor spiders are too clever to fall for that old trick - which is where Vikki’s secret spider attracting device comes into its own.
“I have this beetle,” says Vikki. “His name is Terrified Pete - and he’s a mealworm beetle. He wears a little harness and I walk him along in front of the trapdoor spider burrow. The spider is attracted by him because he’s prey and comes out. Oh, and the beetle usually gets away unscathed.”
The patter of tiny beetle feet and the small vibrations that the beetle sets off as it negotiates a minefield of silk strands radiating from beneath the camouflaged trapdoor are what alerts the resident spider to a passing meal. This sophisticated system of beetle detection is necessary as the spiders never leave their silk-lined burrows – they rely on their food walking to them. All the more remarkable is that female trapdoor spiders may reside in their burrow for up to 25 years – and never leave home once. For all that time they lie in wait, only erupting forth to grab an unwary insect and drag it down to devour in the privacy of their own ‘home’.
The only nocturnal visitor the female trapdoor spider doesn’t devour is the occasional passing male, out wandering in search of a mate. He’s presumably invited into the burrow for a spot of sex, before carrying on his way.
Trapdoor spiders live on mud or clay banks, and as the sons and daughters – when they eventually leave home after 6-18 months - set up residence right next to mum, a small area of bank can end up liberally honeycombed with tunnels that can be up to 30 cm long. The size of the trapdoor and the width of the tunnel are directly related to the size of the resident spider – over time, the growing spider excavates it to accommodate its expanding size.
Trapdoor spiders belong to a group of spiders known as mygalomorphs, which includes tunnel web spiders and tarantulas. Cantuaria spiders are endemic to New Zealand, and are the only New Zealand representatives of a family called Idiopidae, which has some Australian relatives. The taxonomy for the Cantuaria group is up in the air at the moment – spider expert Ray Forster described many species that Vikki and Canterbury Museum spider expert Cor Vink think are probably just one or two species. To do further taxonomy the pair require more male trapdoor spiders; during winter the smaller long-legged males leave their burrows to wander in search of females, so if anyone finds and collects one of these Cor would love to have it.
Vikki is studying trapdoor spiders as part of her PhD research, funded by scholarships from the Miss EL Hellaby Indigenous Grasslands Research Trust and the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Trust. She is using techniques such as a molecular clock to establish whether Cantuaria spiders have been in New Zealand since the break-up of Gondwana 65 millio years ago, or whether they have dispersed here more recently, like most of New Zealand’s biota. Vikki says that their ‘homebody’ lifestyle makes it unlikely that they dispersed here, unlike many other spider species that have a ballooning life stage when they are young and can be blown long distances by wind. If her molecular techniques show that the spiders have been here a long time it will lend support to the idea that islands persisted during the Oligocene, about 25 million years ago, when much of what is now New Zealand was below sea level.

Nick Bollinger surveys a sophomore set from sometime Prince collaborator Lianne La Havas.
This 25-year-old singer and guitarist grew up in London but her heritage is a mixture of Greek and Jamaican. And though her singing is soulful, and the production – particularly of the bigger, more upbeat tracks - owes plenty to the R&B tradition, La Havas is, in a way, as much a singer-songwriter as a soul diva. That’s particularly apparent on the songs where the focus is on just her voice and guitar, when she leans towards Latin feels. If there’s any fault here it’s only that La Havas hasn’t quite decided which of the numerous styles she hints at will make the best and boldest use of her formidable talents.

Nick Bollinger mulls over a multi-media art project from Battles founder Tyondai Braxton.
Before he founded the band Battles, Tyondai Braxton had studied composition and begun to be acknowledged as a significant experimental composer. Battles put him at the centre of a movement that came to be known as math-rock. And maybe you could apply that title to parts of his latest solo project as well; yet it could equally be heard as simply a return to his core business.
In 2013 he was commissioned by New York’s Guggenheim Museum to create a collaborative, multi-media piece with Uffe Surland Van Tam, the Danish architect who he has worked with more than once since leaving Battles in 2010. Part installation, part instrumental performance, the work involved Braxton and four other musicians, each seated cross-legged upon one of five glowing oval pods, designed by Van Tam.
It’s worth seeing pictures of these; Braxton and his group could be the musical advance party from some caravan of intergalactic travellers. But the music on this CD might have told you that anyway. There are busy kinetic pieces with glitchy electronic beats woven into dense polyrhythms. And there are sparser, more impressionistic passages, with Braxton playing thick dissonant clusters on a modular synthesiser, which bend and warp through sonic space. Perhaps Tyondai Braxton’s Hive 1 really does need to be experienced with its visuals for full effect. But if what is on this little silver disc is only the tip of an iceberg, then beneath it remains one of the bolder imaginations in modern art music.

Nick Bollinger considers a new set of detailed country dramas from southern singer-songwriter Jason Isbell.
When Jason Isbell released his 2013 album Southeastern he was just a year out of rehab, which some suggested was the reason for its bleak and confessional tone. Since then, the Alabama-born singer-songwriter has stayed sober and remarried. Will that mean his new album is more upbeat? Let's call it a mood of qualified optimism. In ‘Flagship’, one of several excellent songs on Something More Than Free, the singer sits in a hotel with his wife, pledging never to let their romance die, while all around them are the symbols of decay; the lights in the lobby flicker unreliably while another couple in the bar sit, as Isbell notes, ‘a thousand miles apart.’ The song’s theme is simple and classic but the details are so specific and well-observed, the mood so subtly controlled, that it almost seems like an idea that has never been sung before.
At times Isbell comes across like a sweeter-voiced Springsteen, and his great group the 400 Unit like a less bombastic E-Street Band. On other tracks his lyricism is matched by his command of a good melody, while the production leans towards a lush pop sound, reminiscent of R.E.M.
He gives the characters in his songs names, homes, jobs, husbands or wives, yet tends to sing their stories in the first person. And it often seems as though almost any of them could have been Isbell, had life dealt him just a slightly different hand. They are like versions of himself from a parallel universe where, but for grace of God, he might have been a manual labourer rather than a musician, as in the album’s title song.

9:06 The War That Changed The World – Jordan: Redrawing the Map of the Middle East
How did World War One change the face of the Middle East? And, how did this seismic and controversial period shape the century to follow? Lyse Doucet presents a public debate from Amman in Jordan, with a panel of experts - in partnership with the British Council.
The programme considers the impact of World War One and how its aftermath still overshadows the political landscape of the Middle East.
The Arab Revolt, launched by the Hashemite dynasty during World War One, unified resistance to the Ottomans and triggered the end of their rule of the Arab world. Strong hopes of a unified Arab state were dashed. Instead a patchwork of mandates, protectorates and colonial rule followed with a promise from the British prime minister that Jewish people would be given a "national home in Palestine".
The issues are discussed by three historians, Khaled Fahmy from the American University in Cairo, Mouin Rabbani of the Institute of Palestine Studies, and Ali Mahafza of the University of Jordan. Theatre director Lina Attel presents a personal essay on 'redrawing the map'. (BBCWS)
