Alimento y plumaje - Los flamencos mantienen esos tonos gracias a organismos diminutos presentes dentro de humedales salados y cualquier cambio durante la alimentación acaba alterando el aspecto de colonias enteras Los humedales de medio mundo llevan décadas llenos de aves que parecen pintadas a mano. Los flamencos llaman la atención por las patas largas, por el pico curvado y por un color que casi nunca aparece en otros animales grandes. También tienen otra rareza poco conocida. Aunque casi todo el mundo los imagina rosas desde el nacimiento, las crías salen del huevo con un plumón gris blanquecino y pasan bastante tiempo lejos de ese tono fuerte que aparece en fotografías y documentales. Esa transformación depende de algo tan básico como la comida. Los flamencos viven en lagunas con agua salada o alcalina y pasan buena parte del día filtrando organismos diminutos. Ahí empieza un proceso que cambia sus plumas durante años y que explica por qué unos ejemplares tienen tonos muy claros mientras otros muestran colores casi rojizos. Los carotenoides tiñen las plumas según cambia la alimentación Los flamencos adquieren ese color por sustancias llamadas carotenoides presentes en algas y pequeños crustáceos, según recoge IFLScience y también BBC Wildlife. El beta caroteno pasa de las algas a las gambas diminutas y otros invertebrados, y después llega al cuerpo de las aves cuando se alimentan. El organismo procesa esas sustancias en el hígado y termina depositándolas en la piel y en las plumas. Por eso los tonos pueden variar desde el blanco hasta el rosa fuerte o el naranja, según la especie y el lugar donde vive. Tim Savage, responsable de aves en el zoo británico de Whipsnade, explicó a la revista CURIOUS de IFLScience que las crías tardan bastante tiempo en adquirir ese color tan conocido. “Cuando nacen están cubiertos por un plumón gris y blanco”, informó. Savage añadió que las primeras plumas también suelen ser claras y que hacen falta varios cambios de plumaje antes de alcanzar el rosa adulto. Ese proceso puede durar un par de años y depende de la cantidad de carotenoides que reciban mientras crecen. La cantidad de alimento disponible altera el tono de las plumas porque las aves reciben más o menos carotenoides según cambian las algas, los crustáceos y las condiciones del humedal Los zoológicos tienen que reproducir esa alimentación para evitar que las aves pierdan intensidad en las plumas. Amanda Ferguson, responsable de nutrición en Whipsnade y en el zoo de Londres, explicó a CURIOUS que los cuidadores usan un pienso preparado con cantaxantina, otro pigmento de la familia de los carotenoides: “Eso ayuda a mantener su bonito color rosa.” Ferguson comentó que esas sustancias suelen generar tonos rojizos, amarillos o anaranjados y que pasan de los organismos naturales a las plumas después de la digestión. El color también cambia en los adultos cuando llega la época de alimentar a las crías. Savage explicó en la misma publicación que las parejas transfieren gran parte de esos nutrientes a los polluelos y, durante ese periodo, las plumas pierden intensidad. “Los adultos se vuelven un poco más claros”, matizó. Esa diferencia puede apreciarse incluso dentro de una misma colonia, donde algunos ejemplares muestran tonos suaves mientras otros conservan colores mucho más fuertes. Las algas marcaron el inicio del color en los flamencos Las algas son el primer eslabón de toda esa cadena. Los pequeños crustáceos comen esas algas y después terminan en el pico de los flamencos, que filtran el agua con una estructura adaptada para separar partículas diminutas. Ellen Husain escribió en BBC Wildlife que el beta caroteno acaba convertido en pigmentos que pasan a la piel y a las plumas. La alimentación explica también por qué unas especies muestran colores más rojizos y otras aparecen casi blancas en determinadas estaciones del año. Los cambios en el agua, en la cantidad de alimento disponible y en el entorno de cada humedal alteran la cantidad de carotenoides que reciben las aves. Los humedales cambiaron el aspecto de estas aves durante años El azul funciona de otra manera en la naturaleza y ahí aparece el gran límite para cualquier intento de cambiar el color de un flamenco. Ferguson explicó a IFLScience que los tonos azules y verdes no suelen aparecer por pigmentos ingeridos, sino por la estructura física de las plumas y por la forma en que la luz rebota sobre ellas: “Todo tiene que ver con la física de la luz al golpear las plumas.” La especialista puso como ejemplo al martín pescador, que muestra un azul intenso sin depender de pigmentos alimentarios. Por eso un flamenco nunca se volvería azul aunque recibiera colorantes artificiales. Ferguson dijo que cualquier sustancia ajena a los carotenoides termina degradada en el aparato digestivo y no llega a las plumas. BBC Wildlife recordó además que muchos tonos azules del mundo animal aparecen por estructuras microscópicas en la piel o en las plumas. El biólogo italiano Alberto Velando explicó que el azul de los pies de los piqueros surge por fibras de colágeno que alteran la luz al reflejarla. Los flamencos seguirán dependiendo de las algas y de los carotenoides, y por eso las lagunas continuarán llenándose de aves rosas en lugar de aves azules.

(The Center Square) – More than half of the federal budget will go toward benefits for Americans 65 years and older by 2036, and that percentage is set to only grow, a recent congressional report finds. The Joint Economic Committee’s 2026 report shows that non-interest federal spending on Social Security and Medicare payouts will climb from 45% to 52% over the next decade “Given long-term demographic forecasts, this increase does not represent a peak, but rather a step in a continued upward trajectory,” the report notes. In recent years, the U.S. has racked up record-breaking deficits, pushing the national debt past $39 trillion. The federal government is on track to post a $2 trillion deficit for fiscal year 2026, according to the Office of Management and Budget. Monetary transfers to seniors made up between $350 billion and $520 billion of the federal deficit in 2025, depending on the methodology used to calculate interest payments, JEC found. “The trajectory of transfers is problematic,” the report adds. “Together, Social Security and Medicare account for roughly two-thirds of the expected nominal growth in non-interest Federal spending over the next three decades.” Ever-growing federal spending on seniors is not only worsening the nation’s fiscal trajectory but also raises questions regarding the fairness of redistributing the earnings of younger, less established generations to programs supporting retirees, rather than public services for all age demographics. “Because younger workers generally earn less and rely more heavily on wage income, a larger share of their total tax burden directly funds senior-oriented initiatives,” notes the report. “[O]ver 80 percent of the taxes paid by the bottom 40 percent of households function mostly as direct transfers to seniors.” Notably, the Social Security Administration has not guaranteed future benefits to Americans who are currently paying into the system. The amount deducted from workers’ paychecks to subsidize the Social Security and Medicare of current retirees is “a pure and simple tax,” Stephen Goss, former chief actuary of SSA, told U.S. lawmakers in 2024. Both the Social Security trust fund and Medicare’s hospital insurance trust fund are less than seven years away from insolvency. Social Security’s depletion will trigger an up to 28% benefit cut across the board, reversing over a decade’s worth of Cost of Living Adjustment increases. In order for current benefit levels to remain as they are post-insolvency, a median wage earner making $60,000 annually would need to pay an additional $2,600 in annual taxes, according to a Cato Institute analysis. Both government overspending and demographic trends play a part in hastening the approaching cliff. While U.S. population growth stagnates, America’s 65 years and older population is expected to increase from about 61 million in 2023 to about 77 million by 2035. By that time, SSA estimates there will be only 2.4 workers contributing to Social Security and Medicare for each beneficiary, “further elevating the level of wealth transferred from younger cohorts to seniors,” per the JEC report. But if the funding shortfall is not remedied, lower-income seniors will be particularly harmed by the automatic benefit cuts. “This is an upside-down safety net. When automatic benefit cuts kick in in 2032, the retirees who rely most on Social Security will be hurt the most, while wealthy households will scarcely notice the change,” the Cato Institute’s director of budget policy, Romina Boccia, wrote in a recent piece for the Daily Economy. “Social Security, if it is to exist at all, should focus on preventing old-age poverty, not provide wealthy retirees with an ever-growing worker-funded annuity layered on top of substantial private savings,” Boccia added. Rather than increasing taxes on workers or cutting benefits for wealthier seniors, the Republican section of the JEC report posits expanding the contributing workforce as a preferable solution. “A more immediate approach [to the problem] involves reforming the immigration system to aggressively attract talent in high paying fields experiencing labor shortages,” the authors suggest. “[A]n influx of high-earners would alleviate the mounting pressure on American workers to surrender an ever-increasing share of their income to support seniors.” Under the current Trump administration, however, increasing immigration of any type is unlikely to happen in the near future.
