Gastrotrichs are my favorite animals and I worked and still work on them (mostly marine) :) I am so glad to see another video about them :) However, I am almost sure the cover picture and the animal at 3:02 isn't a gastrotrich but a 'Dimorphilus', meaning it is a marine Annelida (and I worked on them as well) :) As for the expansion to freshwater gastrotrichs, it happened also in Macrodasyida although they are way less common like the genus 'Redudasys', which is also parthenogenetic as much as we know. They are less common in Europe but begin to be found in Brasil now. And for the question of freshwater chaetonotids, the molecular phylogeny is quite unstable so far (I manipulated these datasets :) ). What is sure is that chaetonotids were marine at first, but when in the phylogenetic tree they started to be freshwater is not the easy to infer :) It is almost pretty sure, as you say, that they returned, probably several time to marine environment :) There are also other marine parthenogenetic gastrotrichs like 'Urodasys' (Macrodasyida) or 'Draculiciteria' (Chaetonotida). So it is a mess, and the modalities of reproduction in gastrotrichs are quite diverse!
@@Pongant funny to meet fellow gastrotrichologists here ! When the project "International Association for Gastrotrichology" will be launched, we should have the opportunity to meet :) Glad you liked the paper, it was the one I put the most heart in in my PhD thesis :) What are you doing on X. intermedia ? :)
I only watch this channel, I have no education in microbiology, but I do watch and rewatch all episodes of this particular channel. I said 'a gastrotrichia egg' the second I saw it. Not a long ago I wasn't even aware of their existence. Tell me this ins't real life education. Thank you Journey to the Micrcomos for all those journeys.
I clicked thinking, "Meh, I wont watch it all, it wont hold my interest", And here I am at the end of the video, sitting in utter disbelief that it's over. So damn captivating. Love this channel.
Thank you for making these fascinating videos. There is only one thing wrong with them...they're over to soon!! I'm always left wanting more which is why some days I binge watch them. They are awsome!
I wish I could give multiple likes because all of this is just so beautiful, and it is so nice to see the upgrades you guys have made in the microscopes, so as hank says thank you to all the patrons for supporting this channel (coming from someone who currently is a poor student🤣)
the animal at 3:14, which is also the thumbnail…i believe is not a gastrotrich! it looks very similar to an unusual neotenic polychaete worm called Dinophilus taeniatus (of which i was the first to report populations in the western hemisphere!) however it isn’t a complete match, i do still believe it to be very closely related, most definitely in the Haplodrili order!!! which is a very very fascinating order of unusual polychaete worms which i totally think you should do a video on!!!
It's fascinating and I love it. It's as good as the Kalahari plains. It could be improve by explaining what exactly is happening besides the obvious of them rattling around eating. A few basics explained would help immensely. Please 👊☘️
Watching them move and seek, it’s hard to believe they don’t have a brain the way we understand a brain to be. They seem curious and thoughtful and like they need affection.
@@dziban303 Not really. I think it could be a positive over the sensory-overload pieces of $#!t viewers would often run into. *this is just my take on TikTok's average set of videos and is not necessarily true. it could be vastly different from what I think it is, so please don't hate on it too early >v
Some researches put them sister groups, but there are actually few morphological common points. The only thing which has been found is similarities in micro-RNA. However, the result of both being closely related is not found in all phylogenies :)
Anyone else ever think about what a bowl full of nothing but tartagrades would look like? Like could you just dip your spoon into a bowl of tartagrades and eat them?
Yes, the ciliation is, for most of them limited to the ventral side :) This is what helps them tho crawl or swim most of the time :) They are colloquially called "hairy backs" but it doesn't have anything to do with "Gastrotricha", and is quite confusing, it is because many Chaetonotida have dorsal spines made of cuticle, which gives an impression of hair :)
The background music gave me anxiety for some reason, instead of the usual relaxation. Missing the soothing sounds and the calm voice that helps me to wind down and puts me to sleep.
You mean I can microdose Journey to the Microcosmos?! Also that gastrotrich with the yellow in it looks like a real d***(head). Lol! Hope you find the levity funny. Thanks for all of your amazing, wondrous, hard work and for another great video! 😄
id edge a bet the first to make that change were pushed on land into lakes via tidal waves, where they were able to adapt and change as the salt water slowly diluted back to fresh water
Forgive my OCD... but the "Journey to the Microcosmos" logo in the beginning of every video... I can't help but notice that the 'O' in Journey is literally pixels away from being the top of a lowercase 'I' for the word 'Microcosmos'... If that makes sense. Condense 'Journey to the' by a tiny fraction - and maybe even color the O and I a diff color to make the lowercase 'i' stand out... eh just thoughts
Plenty of times, there are several families of microscopic Annelida, some cases in molluscs (Rhodope and some Aplacophora), many groups of arthropods like copepods, mites, microscopic wasps, ostracods etc. And there are even other cases of non parasitic cnidarian like Halammohydra on top of Myxosoa that @lovelynepenthe cited :) Actually going from macro to micro and the other way around is quite common :)
Almost. While it may have come from Greek, it is in Latin (New Latin, to be precise). The correct pronunciation should be [kʰae̯'tonɪda], I think. That's pretty close to what you said, except for two of the vowels being different, namely that the first vowel should rhyme with "eye" and the third with "lid". The third vowel could also be pronounced [i], rhyming with "knee", which is what you said, depending on what time period's pronunciations we're going for, resulting in [kʰae̯'tonida]. If we were to go with a more Greek pronunciation, then the first vowel would still be "eye" and the third would definitely rhyme with "knee", but also the first consonant would probably be different. It still gets the k-sound [kʰ] if we go with Attic Greek, but later forms of Greek like Koine and Modern would have it be [x], the same sound that ends the word "loch" in Scottish accents or the first sound in "Chanuka" when pronounced with the throaty sound rather than a straight-up h-sound. This makes it [xae̯'tonida]. To get the pronunciation you suggest, ['kʰito'nida], we would need to resort to Ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation, but even then, I think it would end up being [kʰɛ'tonida], with the [ɛ] being the same sound as in "bet", which is still a bit different. I hear Hank saying [t͡ʃɛ'tɑnɪdə], which I agree is not right.
@@ChefSalad yeh, I'm no linguist, but my main point was that the initial consonantal sound is not "ch" as in chicken. I know that χ is like loch, but noone is going to say it like that; just "k" is fine. Edit: the difference between uk and us english makes arguing over vowels kind of pointless. The consonants are where errors can be pointed to consistently.
@@TazPessle True enough. That and these languages are dead, so I suppose it doesn't really matter anyway. I just like being nitpicky sometimes. My vowel reference words were in General American English. As far as US vs UK, that only matters for examples. The IPA is always the same for the same sound.
@@ChefSalad yeh, IPA recommendations for uk pronunciations is always terrible; it's a vanishingly small amount of us that speaks anything close to RP. There is a youtube chanel that covers it, but don't ask me nowz I'm 8 beers down.
Tik Tok's datacollection is absurd.... Why subject yourself to a clipboard reader and lead your viewers into such a company? They need to be culled, not buffed.

The updated microscopes make these little friends so fuzzy and cuddly looking!
they are cute ^,^
idk the nematodes scare me lmao
Like worm on a string!
it's amazing to think that we as humans are very distantly related, at some early point in our evolution we had a common ancestor
I mean technically it’s not fuzz

God, I love to see the questing energy and the tactile capacities of this adorable little animal! Thank you all so much!
Do you think the organisms are bothered when they bump into each other like that? Sometimes it looks like they squish quite far into another!
I wonder every day what their consciousness is like
Maybe they don't feel

Been a while since we've seen these lil guys!
The picture quality is truly amazing!

I saw 2 of these the first time I looked for beasties in my undergrad, a personal fave for me too
Fantastic video as always. I just have one comment on the name of the Order. It is called Chaetonotida (type Genus Chaetonotus), not Chaetonida.
I love these videos...period
What are those big organisms that the gastrotrich has trouble navigating around at the end? Nematodes? Some giant single-celled organism?
They look like some ciliates :)
them girls is hungry
What microskope do you use? Or which one would you recommend?
Does your plan objectives fit Swift Stellar 1?
I want to make sure before ordering them. Thanks
2:58-3:28 shows an interstitial annelid Dinophilus, but not a gastrotrich.

Aren't they chaetonotids? And shouldn't "ch" sound Greek "k"?
That's how we say it among gastrotrichologists ;)
2:40 Ha! Nice try, this isn't a real photo, it's just a screenshot from Jenova Chen's _flOw._
Has anything ever evolved from macro to micro?
Many. Myxozoans are the smallest animals and evolved from macroscopic jellyfish-like ancestors.
Plenty of times, there are several families of microscopic Annelida, some cases in molluscs (Rhodope and some Aplacophora), many groups of arthropods like copepods, mites, microscopic wasps, ostracods etc. And there are even other cases of non parasitic cnidarian like Halammohydra on top of Myxosoa that @lovelynepenthe cited :) Actually going from macro to micro and the other way around is quite common :)

Yeast is decendended from multicellular ancestors.
Really digging the music in this one, for some reason.

Aren’t eggs single celled when they are first laid?
