Massive respect to you, for covering the different major and minor phyla... It helps so much in cutting down study time in my Systematic Zoology subject in college.
Acanthocephala and aves, have one thing in common. We now know they belong to bigger groups, but in textbooks and on websites, we still treat them as a separate rank. Acanthocephala belongs to phylum Rotifera, eventhough we sometimes still call it a phylum. Aves belongs to class Reptilia, eventhough we most of time call it a class. Having the same rank within another rank makes taxonomy more confusing, so I wish someone re-rank groups so people wouldn't keep on ranking groups in their traditional ranks that we have continued to do so for 270 years. The main reason why we know certain groups belong to bigger ones is because of DNA... and maybe some physical and fossil evidence.
@@ryanhelcoski6894 Hexapods are cladisticaly crustaceans, but are taxonomically seperate, even though they should really be crustaceans. Crustaceans are also not bound to water, crustaceans moving to land evolved many seperate times in the group, including hexapods.
@@billyr2904my professor called them "subphylums". Makes it much easier to explain. So subphylum crustacea & subphylum hexapoda are both under phylum Arthropoda.
Finding them in large amounts of water can be problematic though. I can’t recall ever finding one when I’ve been trying to find organisms to view under a microscope.
Hi Dave. I have recently discovered that you are not actually a professor. But I am already aware that you know a load of stuff. More than me, so please crack on ! And thank you.
Per his TH-cam bio, while he’s not currently employed as a professor, he has taught various subjects at highschools & colleges, so i think it’s fine to call himself Professor Dave.
Hey P Dave can you please do an episode on browns gas? Specifically george Wiseman hes selling a kit that seems could be prototyped for much cheaper than the 2500 dollar price tag. Also there are reports of a browns gas inhaler being used in germany for health reasons? Is there any truth to any of the myths around browns gas?
tbh, because that's the first animal phyla video I wrote before realizing it would be best to split things up. I then over-corrected by writing like 7 videos for Cnidaria lol
Journey to the Microcosmos explained the rotifers so well, but this video adds that extra content with Dave flavour.
yes, journey to the microcosmos is highly recommended
aww thanks!

Cool, can't wait to see the next part
This guy is taking a short vacation from dunking on the flat earthers.
I’m dunking on Dubay
It gets frustrating when the flat earthers run out of arguments.

Paraphylogenies abound, wait until we get to the Arthropods

Great job ptofessor dave🎉
Thanks Dave. ❤

Where are you looking for them?
Could you please make a video about English phonics spelling rules
holy shit new phylum
I came across these little guys a few times under my microscope. I've been trying to find tartigrades, but in the process I've found rotifers
Are you still planning to do a video on Dr. Eric berg or have you moved on?
I will at some point, a lot on my plate at the moment.

Yo dave! You got stuff that could help GSCE year 11 students? Love your stuff!
I just want more flat earth debates
I LOVE ROTIFERS!!!
Neat! [takes picture]
Keep it up

I LOVE ROTIFERRRSSSS
I thought you would have more than one video for the major phyla. Rotifera is a minor phylum (why do sponges get one video?)

@@ryanhelcoski6894 your not professor dave explains, so why are you replying to me when you're not him?
@@billyr2904 because I write the zoology series. Click the "show more" in the description
Oh, thanks Ryan.
"Minor phyla" are the most interesting. Give me 8 videos on rotifers please
Rotifers invented a superior, biological version of the wheel millions of years before humans did & use it in substantially better ways.
Does these creatures considered alive
yes, they are animals. just really small ones
They are alive, they aren't talked about much since they are part of some of the minor phyla...
I need a friend, that will help me in biology
👏👍
Couple things here will trigger hovind when he sees this on his……oh wait nvm he got suspended from TH-cam. Lmao!!!
Hi,fellow parasites
I did write a video specifically for rotiferian parasites, it's a fun one, lol
wow
Day #4 of asking you to react to the Troll Science videos.
Clever bugger..
