+Adam Boyd In that case we would see a noticeable difference between the genes of nomadic hunter gatherer societies and societies that developed agriculture. So far as I know, no such difference exists.
Insects like mealy bugs also produce a kind of nectar that attracts ants to defend them against predators like the mealy bug destroyer while they feast on the plant (usually citrus). So the bodyguard trick can cut both ways, depending on who's doing the bribing.
+James Hogg I saw that video lol! My guess is either because it looks like a snake or large insect which could be dangerous to the cat or that the cucumbers were sneakily placed behind the cats while they were busy eating and seeing it appear out of nowhere behind them freaks them out :D
and i think they all show the cat being extremely preoccupied with something (eating food) and then suddenly noticing the cucumber. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not entirely sure myself.
Do this to someone you know. 1) let them eat or let them do something that keeps them busy 2) secretly place a large green turd next to them 3) ??? 4) profit XD
SciShow, can you guys slow down the speech monologue used in videos? At some points, you're talking so fast, I'm concentrating more on deciphering the really fast speech versus understanding the information. Also, the jump cuts don't help much if the natural speech patterns are interrupted, and causes monologues to turn into even larger blocks of monologues. Otherwise, I love everything you do!
Never mind plants! Do a video on that fucked up wasp, and other critters that take over other critters! I'll never get tired of that. That's American Horror Story shit!
If a plant gave me sweets damn straight I'd defend it, with parasitic larvae children if need be! On a side note: You rocking that 1950's biker chic, dude.
Another note I should put in I grow many cacti and some do produce extrafloral nectores and specialized aerols (where new spines and blooms come from in cacti) that produce nector the only issue is when there arnt any ants near by it can be a pain why? Because other things come to take the nector and that would be mold
8 year old me: There's no such thing as that in real life, is there? Dad: Of course not, it's just a movie. Aliens like that aren't real. You lied to me dad!
You can't beat a human bodyguard, some plants are special enough they've been selected to grow on a space station. You hear that you stubborn dandelions? Get outta my yard dandelions >.
+SciShow Can you do a show about how different streams work in the sea or the ocean, Im still very confused after trying to read up about how they work, like how part of the sea and or ocean have different "highway" types things, or different zones depending on depth or something. Anyway can you cover how they work.... Sigh my constant heavy Tip of the Tongue problem for half the words I want to say
Hey Scishow, We're getting good at finding oil, but can we find it on an exoplanet? if so, how soild would this evedence be for a former (or possibly present) form of life.
Is it me, or does it seem like you could use Audible for a year or more with all the youtube channels that have done commercials for them? SciShow, Game Theory, Quirkology, Vsauce, ScrewAttack, the list goes on. It's almost a right of passage on youtube it seems.
This isn’t really related to plants but it’s about bugs that live ON plants, aphids produce a byproduct called honey dew (it’s... really sugary poop, don’t eat it), which larger bugs eat. This attracts things like bees and ants which in turn, scare away any ladybugs on the plant, the natural predator of aphids. They literally poop to save their own lives.
I was wondering about the science behind "talents", why are some people so much better than others at something even when, at times the same effort was put in, thinking of my own "talents" (drawing and artistic endeavours, as well as academic intelligence in maths and science but mostly drawing). I was disliked people saying I was "talented" because I put effort into things and usually have the assumption people can do the same (given drawing is the use of lines, curves and geometry) and usually can, but with a lot more effort. I really wonder why, (I assume it is to do with hand eye coordination, or whatever fits a given activity) but I don't like assuming.
i know you guys on sci show are connected to PBS spcetime channel. if you could please post another video on there it would be nice. i appreciate this show but if you guys stopped daily episodes on here and put more time into longer and more frequent episodes on sci show space and PBS space time id be much happier. thanks for the awesome videos but a want more and longer space talk. MORE SPACE!
+Ayman Hadi A mutualistic relationship is a form of symbiotic relationship. Symbiosis just means living together. Other forms of symbiotic relationship includes parasitism and Comensialism( positive for one part and no effect for the other).
+bananizen No, not quite. +Ayman Hadi Symbiosis: The two organisms need each other to survive; one or both will die if they're separated. Mutualism: Each organism benefits, but they can both survive apart. Commensalism: The two organisms live together, but there is neither benefit nor harm to either one. Parasitism: One organism uses the other for its own benefit, harming it in the process.
+Christian Rankin A couple of the wasp eggs stay inside the caterpillar and control the caterpillar so it defends their siblings. They probably release some kind of hormones that activate a protective response from the caterpillar.
The wild ancestor of Maize is amazing at attracting wasps to defend itself, but the domesticated corn bred for it does so only poorly. It would not be too difficult to use genetic engineering to reintroduce those ancient genes to create corn that could be grown without pesticides.
I wonder if the people on the walking dead would be able to wipe out the zombie population with the right insect/worm/parasite. I'm sure they could find some flies to do it.
They don't, there's nothing more to plants then splitting cells and a root to absorb nutrients needed to do so. Plants don't have a consciousness, a mind or even organs really, they do all this stuff because of a slightly altered gene in their DNA that gives them this property. It all just happens, they can't control it, neither do they know it's happening, because they are not anything more then splitting cells following a DNA blueprint.
+Giuliana Rexic Plants that do not have these defense mechanisms die out and do not reproduce. The plants that do evolve these defense systems stay alive and are able to reproduce more plants like themselves. There's nothing "intelligent" about it in the sense that plants have a consciousness, although that is not to suggest it is not fascinating. You can chose to believe there is a God behind all of this, but you cannot prove such. "Proving" is a scientific process, and believing in a higher deity is not something that involves science. That is not to say that one is better than the other.. you just can't intermix them
FireHax0rd I don't believe in God. But for these mechanisms to just **poof** evolve into existence in the first place seems highly, highly unlikely to me. Something intelligent is at work in order for a plant to develop something like this to begin with.

What if we did not selectively breed plants to have larger fruit but rather plants evolved to use humans as bodyguards?
+Adam Boyd Calm down, Jaden Smith

+Adam Boyd You mean like how Cats domesticated humans to be their servants?
+Adam Boyd In that case we would see a noticeable difference between the genes of nomadic hunter gatherer societies and societies that developed agriculture. So far as I know, no such difference exists.
+Adam Boyd
Some biologists already claim that. It would explain why dogs outnumber wolves, or why wheat outnumbers most other kinds of grass.
+Adam Boyd PLANTCEPTION!

Thank you for the information about those wasps. I'll now go to bed and have nightmares.
loved the topic!!
I got a question, why are cats scared of cucumbers, and why is it so funny.
+James Hogg I saw that video lol! My guess is either because it looks like a snake or large insect which could be dangerous to the cat or that the cucumbers were sneakily placed behind the cats while they were busy eating and seeing it appear out of nowhere behind them freaks them out :D
Little pussies are scared of giant 10 inch+ cucumbers.
+The Manimal there is more than a single video of it
and i think they all show the cat being extremely preoccupied with something (eating food) and then suddenly noticing the cucumber. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not entirely sure myself.
