Wonderful that you're in Perth. Welcome! Enjoy the amazing array of plant life. I'll never meet you personally in all likelihood but I'm so happy you're visiting!
I really connect with you man. I'm science freak myself and love biology. Love the way you talk, someone who speaks truth. Keep it up man. I wish you could realize how much your videos help me stay happy in life.
Yep, I used to love ripping a bong and walk through the south west forests in springtime. Damn workplace drug testing! I just discovered your channel and find you were just in my neck of the woods. I studied some botany on a course I did in the goldfields of WA and discovered my love of the bush. By the way, I love that your finger is metric!
Proteaceae being closely related to Platanaceae rang some bells for me. I work on some fossil flora on Long Island that is approximately 86 mya, and a major component is Platanus. Thanks for that tidbit!!!
It's impossible not to.. hear my biology teacher.. from the early 80s.. The best. Married his ex student at +50, and brought her in to teach us about iris diagnostics and .. homeopathy.but The spirit is still there..
Great video - I hope you’re heading out to see the famous wildflowers. It should be a good year. Part of the country is in severe drought but over that side I hope it’s OK. For us Aussies, this is a real treat! Have you got a local botanist with ya??
Every god damn time you say something is going to blow my mind, it does. I had no idea about secondary pollen presentation, what a wild concept. Endless forms.
There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved. Charles Darwin. Origin of Species 1859.
Glad you left out "the creator" part of that. He was bullied into adding that in there anyway by the scared halfwits in his day who couldn't accept the idea of evolution not being the will of a grand choreographer.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt I always liked this quote from William Beebe, it was relatively non-religious for the time and it addresses the ongoing extinction crisis: “The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer, but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again.” ― William Beebe
"Come here. Let me love you. And then eat you.". Sums up the general perception of Australia. Although I do believe I would risk it to see this these in their native ecology. Keep Australia weird.
Here in Santa Cruz County every Eucalyptus globulus I see has notches cut out of the leaf margins by the eucalyptus tortoise beetles. These little guys are really helping us by reducing the leaf surface and thinning the canopies of these trees which are the largest weeds in the world.
I heard they brought the Eucalypts to SoCal to use as railway sleepers - stupid bastards chose the wrong kind - doesn't grow straight-grained enough - so now you just have weeds.
I love listening to the pronunciation with the accent on the first syllables. eg ZanTHOreah. We say ZanthoREAH. I'm so happy you came to little old Perth. We are a biodiversity hotspot here in SWest Australia and so I'm rapt to hear you even more excited than i am about this stuff.
Yes, those birds are called honeyeaters (Meliphagidae). While at King Park did you see the displays of native Asteraceae? They are now grown with the liquid smoke technique perfected in Western Australia. Hope you also saw the Caladenia flava in the grass at that time of year.
Both crows and Australian magpies are passerines (that's the order) but you're right, Australian magpies are in a different family, Artamidae... I confused them with the Australian ravens I hear everywhere, which sound like upset cats, and are true corvids. Australian magpies aren't in the crow family and lack the nasal bristles (where the beak meets the head) indicative of the crow family. Another case of convergent evolution.
Been reading about this. Suggested that passerine birds evolved in gondwana, are older lineages than northern hemisphere birds. Apparently they have a higher proportion of species that are highly social. Magpies are amazing birds: like corvids but even smarter. New Zealandish parrots are also remarkable in this regard. Dunno about African species.
The leaves on that Grevillea look amazingly like rosemary, and the Allocasuarina resembles tiny Equisetum! Actually I'm puffin' on my pipe and drinking coffee. Sounds like you were the same kinda kid that I was, nothing delighted me more than to see a plant breaking thru the concrete. Love me sum Corvids!
Fantastic looking shit, no doubt, thanks for sharing. The internet isn't TOTAL crap, just mostly crap. You're the exception, again. Scaveola makes a pretty good ornamental plant in southern US, tolerates our heat. I've seen purple, pink & white cultivars. Doesn't get invasive, annual & doesn't reseed.
I thought he was gonna try to talk the beetle on the Drosera at 11:23 down off the plant, but I guess the beetle's ex girlfriend was right... Nobody will even notice he's gone.
Australia seems to have all the psychedelic colored members of familiar families and genera. All the weird cousins. One correction - the “dew” on Drosera isn’t sugary; it’s just shiny and sticky mucilage. A friend of mine dared me to lick one, so I did. It turns your saliva into gravy.
sazji Well, if you want a real surprise and treat, orchids! At least one. I've got a couple of Cattleya which I noticed with clear globs on the tips of foliage. At first I thought I'd overwatered or something, being new to growing orchids in home. Looked like big drops of water. I touched one and found it to be thick and sticky. So I tasted and WOW! Nectar. I've talked a few visitors into tasting. 😂
Listening to your most recent podcast, got to you talking about going to Australia today, and was super stoked. Just wish i could remember all of the information you spit out.
so weird you being in perth, i started watching your channel and thus started walking around reserves and stuff, looking at plants. but i don't know what anything is. but i was like 'damn i hope he goes to australia one day so i can get some clues about clades and stuff without doing any reading' and then you're literally right here like a month or two later.
Yes. Used to just be by morphological differences and similarities however matching up the "barcodes" in DNA is the surefire resolution to distinguishing close relationships these days. "Apomorphies" are traits that two or more species share as a result of common ancestry...this is also known as a "homologous trait". However, two unrelated organisms can look alike - like Cactus and Euphorbia - due to experiencing the same stresses and selective pressures in their evolutionary histories. Cacti and Euphorbs are not related, but both have spines and succulence as a result of evolving in Deserts. This is called "parallelism" or "convergent evolution". A trait that is not a result of shared ancestry is also called "homoplasious". Apomorphies - traits shared as a result of common ancestry - can also be molecular, ie apparent in the genome and the "DNA barcode", like say a 22,000 base-pair inversion (think palindrome) in most of the Asteraceae. At some point, however many millions of years ago, the common ancestor all modern Asteraceae share (save for one small subfamily) experienced a mutation in its genome (the mutation was this 22,000 base pair reversal, also known as an inversion) . That mutation was then inherited and passed down to EVERY SINGLE species that descended from this common ancestor. Confusing, but after you've read it a couple hundred times and thought about it and SEEN it, it makes sense 😂.
That "Med Climate" puts ours to shame. We must live in one of the coldest Med climates on Earth and at 37 north too. I have a South African Protea- King Protea in Haysticks here..but all growth no blooms so far in five years. Tricky son of a gun to keep. The Euc macracantha is fantastically showy...only now in California nurseries are afraid to carry the whole genus in the ignorance of them being firestarters (The Prodigy) and that they "sterilize" the soils. Don't seem to sterilize the continent of Australia. Keep up the good work!
Which episode of Joey Yells Bullshit at Animals was this? 3? 4? Anyway, the different strategies nature has found to survive is mind boggling and beautiful. I've always loved plants (they fucking make themselves out of sunlight and thin air, how could you not love that?) But this channel is giving me a renewed appreciation for them. Thanks for sharing.
Could be mistletoe mimicking the hosts morphology, always a food source attractant for birds which in the process poop out mistletoe seeds onto new hosts while looking for a meal. Perhaps the host benefits with insect pests being on the menu too.
