    This multiple species complex (quasi) equilibrium was a result that came out of artificial life experiments (simulations) back in there early 2000s. Multiple resources are the key, but instead of getting a single species optimized for each particular resource, you get them optimizing for combinations.
    Adding in randomness (eg a bit of stirring) is also pretty important as it selects for a degree of generalization.

    I'm not an expert marine biologist, but during my biology degree, I remember that plankton reproduces SOO fast and because "predators" are soo much bigger than them, they break the model or something like that.
    They reproduce so fast that by the time one species get an advantage, the other species have already "evolved" ahead of them.
    They reproduce so fast, that by the time predator start eating them, more plankton is already born.
    Then because animal-like whales are for all intended purposes an extinction-like event for the plankton of a region, the plankton ecosystem is constantly restarting stage where no species have time to exploit their advantage over the other.
    Imagine your tarweed and rosinweed example, but each time the rosinweed starts getting ahead, a human came by and killed all the plants except 1 tarweed and 1 rosinweed, leaving them to restart their fight, and when Rosinweed start getting ahead again, humans come back again and kills everything except one of each again

  • @Alverant

    I gotta go with the last one. Multiple resources, ever-changing environment, fast reproductive cycles, and a huge area (I bet there are trillions of plankton in a 1m*3 volume of seawater) keeps one from dominating. I'm not sure how any microorganisms can go extinct in the ocean given the sizes involved.

    Additionally: The ocean is extremely diverse. Water and sunlight are natural food sources for many species in there.
    Land, on the other hand, is less diverse because (well) soil, air, and sunlight aren't natural food source for many species.
    So basically, diversity correlates with the availability of resources.
    Edit: Also, species that can eat sunlight (such as planktons) are naturally more diverse.

Cute and clear visuals, concise script, and it leaves the viewer with a better understanding not just of the immediate topic, but of aspects of evolution as whole they may not have considered, and of the nature of how confounding variables can arise.

    Dave McKinnon, A famous oceanographer/plankton scientist was summarising his life's work at his farewell morning tea. He said that after doing hundreds of experiments, thousands of hours at sea, tens of thousands of water and plankton samples up and down the Great Barrier Reef, he had come to two conclusions. First one is "Water moves"............. The second is "plankton is patchy".

    One comment. Conditions vary with time and are dependent on the system. That's to say, if the tar weed wins it's not the case that is eternal. When the trees next to the mound get tall they will shade the mound and perhaps the other weed wins under the new conditions imposed on the system by the system.

    I can't help but notice that my town has a multitude of tall evergreen trees that seem to fill the same ecological niches. I wonder that it's the same thing with them. The trees in question Pine (multiple kinds), Douglas Fir, incense cedar, redwood, and others.

    • @EebstertheGreat
      @EebstertheGreat 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The trees might be managed to some extent (home owners, associations, the town, or whatever). But the trees also might actually be occupying different niches. Niches don't just depend on location. The trees could be vulnerable to different predators or parasites for instance, or they could have slightly different growing seasons, or they could require different organic compounds in the soil. What is unusual about the plankton is that there are thousands of species that don't seem to be differentiating themselves from each other hardly at all after hundreds of millions of years.

    • @cerilious
      @cerilious 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@EebstertheGreat That's a good point. The Redwood and Sugar Pine are probably planted. I can imagine the Ponderosa Pine, Incense Cedar, and Douglas Fir having different little advantages. I expect trees are more complex and have more ways they can diversify compared to plankton. It's just interesting to see all three of them growing right next to each other being roughly the same size and competing for many of the same resources.

      @quitlife9279 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@cerilious an interesting things about long lived trees is that most of the actual competition is already over once you're looking at the established tree, because once mature they're unlikely to be overtaken by another tree due to shading/roots etc.
      The real competition would be when they're all seeds/seedlings competing for the same space, and myriad factors could come into play such as predator, disease, seasonal weather conditions etc, and these conditions can be significantly different year to year.
      So the presence of a given mature tree could actually be the result of a few years of changeable conditions 100 years ago that allowed it to become established. And the trees growing next to each other in a forest could have faced and succeeded in different conditions centuries apart.

  • @randompheidoleminor3011
    @randompheidoleminor3011 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    A lot of species don't spend their entire lives as plankton, but mature into a wide array larger organisms that fill other niches (corals, lobsters, tuna etc). The planktonic stage is used by such species more as a method of dispersal than an actual niche, so comparing them is like comparing the seeds of plants - it doesn't really matter that dandelions might be marginally better than the spores of mosses at flight, as they end up growing in totally different conditions.
    This method of dispersal is more important than it seems. A lack of a planktonic stage was a major reason for why the smooth handfish went extinct after the Great Barrier Reef bleached in 2020, the first marine fish extinction of human times.

    I assumed they had different predators, different nutrient requirements, and so on. They can have different niches without being spatially separated. If for example one species is more effective at taking advantage of periods of high light intensity, while another does better at continuing to grow and reproduce during periods of marginally-adequate light, they have different niches, just a much as if those niches corresponded to different locations.
