Species names can secretly decide if they live or die
There are a lot things that can impact if a species goes #extinct, but there is one thing that might really surprise you...their name! In this video I am going to explain how we come up with species names in the first place, and why their names can have big implications for how we feel about them and what we are willing to do to save them. #ecology #environment #extinction
Chapters:
00:00 Introduction
01:03 How do we name species?
3:34 Don’t call me “common”
4:23: How does that name make you feel?
8:17 Changing a name isn’t easy
9:18 That name sounds delicious!
11:08 Where does all this leave us?

Countdown to extinction: Saving the Last of the Maugean Skate
มุมมอง 98810 หลายเดือนก่อน
#Sharks and #rays are in danger of #extinction. But the Maugean Skate, a unique species of ray found in only one harbour in the whole world, is on the very brink of vanishing forever. With only roughly 1000 individuals left in the wild, rapid action is needed to turn this species around. In this video we will learn all about this amazing species, why it is in trouble, and what is being done to ...

Can De-extinction Help Save the Environment?

The world is facing an #extinction crisis. This is why scientists all over the world working on what is known as #de-extinction.

    I wonder how long someone could stay conscious with their eardrums blown out and their entire respiratory system filled with water or collapsed. They are pretty much 100% certain to die, even if there is a full surgical theater standing by, but maybe they'd have the chance to do *something.* They'd also need to have insane mental fortitude to work past the excruciating pain and their every survival instinct screaming at them.

    I feel like this has happened in Germany on a pretty massive scale. Everyone seems to think the old monoculture plantations that were left around once they’d outlived their usefulness are totally pristine and natural, but they are actually deeply unhealthy tree stands with little biodiversity. It’s also true to a less extent on the US east coast, because forests have been left alone to regrow for some time, but the species distribution there is still different than what it was when European settlers first arrived.

    What is the job outlook currently like? Do you know individuals with physical disabilities who are able to be successful in the field? These are the two things that worry me about doing a 180 into this field. I’ve heard the job outlook is very bad not only right now, but even when the job market is better. I suffer from back issues too so I’m not sure if I can physically keep up if I can’t choose the outdoor activity that I get to work on.

    Hi. I like ecology, environment, nature, I love the animals, but my problem is that I'm very sensitive for the animals and it's sensitive topic to me about exctinctions, saving etc. If i had the power, I would save the whole world and ecosystems, humans, animals, nature, Earth. But for this need unity of scientists as you, I Hope more people be as you and with united power and dedication to help.❤

    you missed 2 huge points, they consider this shark to be an anomaly, not a normal size share, Quint who had been hunting sharks since 1945 had never seen one like it and there is no way the tooth would have been embedded in the boat point up, if the shark bit a hole in the boat and put a hole in it the point would be pointing down, also how the hell would a 25 ft shakr take out Ben gardiner's eye and left the head intact

    When you talk about the great whites attacking from below in order to stun their prey for a more successful attack. I always think of Rodney Fox saying his first thought was “I’ve been hit by a train”. That enormous force hitting from below is a terrifying thought, just not enough to stop me from loving sharks, it wasn’t enough to stop him that’s for sure.

    Physicist here. Water is not incompressible. Water is very slightly compressible. That is why the Titan sub from Oceangate imploded in a fraction of a second. As the Hull buckled, The water rapidly decompressed into a much lower pressure gap (the weakened sub). It's hard to explain in a written comment, but If water was truly incompressible, the leading force crushing the sub would have been water being pulled down by gravity, which acts at a rate of acceleration of around 9.8 m/s^2. Still pretty fast, but much slower than the fraction of a second the implosion took

    I really like your videos and how you inject smart and thought out commentary. Why though does diversity / race have to be brought up. Can we not just watch a video about the subject and enjoy it. Also, science should be made up of the most qualified people not a dartboard of race and culture. I love all people, I would have never thought about DEI referencing this video unless you brought it up.

    36,000 feet down in the Challenger Deep is not the most likely habitat for a 60 foot long shark. A breeding population of such fish would need a LOT of food. Even where the hydrothermal vents are, the largest morsel of food would be on the order of 12 inches long. Any shark adapted to such environment and food supply would be only a few feet long and move very slowly to conserve metabolism to match the paltry food supply.

    31:16 Regarding the cage being too small and sharks sometimes attacking cages, the footage of the shark tangled with the cage after Hooper swims away is actually real! They had made a smaller cage so that it would look correct next to real 16 ft great whites. The short actor they had hired for the real shark footage shoot got scared and refused to get into the cage, and then a great white rammed right into the rigging and got stuck. The cage got completely smashed and the actor would've died if he had been in it. There was someone already in the water filming, so they got some amazing footage.

    You probably don't hear this much but I'm considering becoming a biologist/ecologist of some sort. But I have a moral dilemma... I'm a car enthusiast, I love learning and working on nice sounding, fast, and fun cars. But it feels so hypocritical, I try to be a environmentalist by keeping the pollution to a minimum. Lets say I want a nice sounding but stable car, I take out the catalytic converter and replace it with a catted down-pipe. Does almost exactly the same but changes the material and makes it a little less restrictive. I'm most likely never going to buy a diesel either and never coal roll if I do. I feel like everything in life is a balance, but what do you think...?
