There is also a nematode that has specialized itself to almost only live on German beer mats, drinking the yeast they love alongside German beer drinkers. They're like pets we didn't even know we had.

Thanks for answering this. This whole video was full of totally useless information. Ridiculous info like the weight of all combined. Just a total waste of time. I needed to know what they are and why they're different than worms and what are they used for. Your post answered why they are important. OMG what an 1d10tic video this was. Thanks again.
You wonderful people 😅 here I sit, studying for my C. elegans theme test, and see the notification of your nematode video! That's irony, isn't it? And yes, my professor, who has been working with C. elegans since 20 years can tell you for hours about their importance as model organisms, especially in cancer research. She studied them in regard to the control of their assymetric seam cell (stem-cell-like-cells) divisions to find genes regulating those divisions. I love SciShow ❤
If you ever want a chuckle, look up the Worm Shows from Curtis Loer and Morris Maduro. It is incredibly nerdy and niche but people who have studied C. elegans will appreciate the jokes and humour.
I did my Master's research project on the C. elegans nematode species. You want an idea for a horror film? An agar plate visibly squirming because it has been 7 days since you placed an initial colony of 5 worms on the surface. Note: an adult C. elegans is about 1 mm long so if you can see the agar plate squirming with the naked eye, that's A LOT of worms sliding over each other.
My professor told us at the beginning of the course, that when students get to see the worms for the first time, there's always this one person, that's has a fright at the sight of the worms and needs to go outside and calm down 😅.I know what you mean with creepy. We also worked with a.strain that has no vulva, and when our professor told us, that these worms don't lay the eggs- because not possible- but instead the worms hatch and develop inside and the mother just bursts and they go free, there was kind of a silence in the room....so yeah, nematodes are perfect horror creatures

i recently set up a couple small vivariums with soil, plants, and fauna found in my neighborhood and i've noticed tiny nematodes squiggling around in the condensation on the walls. after i first noticed them i began to notice more and more, they really are everywhere.
Hank, you need to plug your Journey to the Microcosms show, its stupid interesting and really cool to watch. If any episode is appropriate for a plug, its this one.
Nice synopsis on Nematodes Hank! As an undergrad at the U of MD I took a few Parasitology courses & one of our professors was responsible for not only figuring out the life cycle of Heartworm disease in dogs but also was instrumental in developing a drug to prevent the infection. The culprit is the roundworm Dirofilaria immitis which can infect Dogs, Cats & Ferrets. It is transmitted via Mosquitoes, as are many diseases. Nasty little critters but still part of the natural world around us!
Im so happy to see these squiggly bois getting a bit more attention. They're a large focus of my research in Stockholm. They're incredibly diverse but tricky to properly capture and classify unless you're a true nematode veteran. So my team and myself are currently using metagenomic (metabarcoding) techniques to get a better feel for their diversity. This way we hope these guys can tell us more about the environments they inhabit.
I literally just came inside after turning my marigolds under in my tomato bed to combat nematodes, then I saw this video. Weird flex, Universe, but OK.
Many years ago, I saw a short nature film called "Nematode". Each section, such as Motion, Eating, Reproduction, etc. was first shown with a clay model nematode and a few props, then a clip of a nemotode in action. All this accompanied by the music of Mozart's Variations on "A Vous Dirae Je, Maman", otherwise known as Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. An interesting introduction to a piece of classical music! 😁
If you don't know about really tiny animals, there's a TH-cam channel all about them, called, what is it... "Travels through a Microscope"? Something like that. The narrator there has the nicest, most calming voice, too.
My father's favorite nematodes joke: You're studying to become a civil engineer. It's a Sanitary Engineering class you're watching a video of a microscopic sample of sewage. Student in the front: "Sir why do these nematodes wiggle around so much?" Student in the back: "You would too if you were living in nothing but poop."
Great question! That’s actually, seriously, interesting to know. I mean if so, it doesn’t seem the Nema family has ever had to make much of a competition or plan for battle against any possible attack. They seem to expand their Nema army larger than any other living mechanisms this well blended in their incognito slime suite and way of traveling to and fro
Nah, not everyone. Some of us were lucky enough to miss that whole mess... like, we are too old, and our kids were too young, to get into the show, so it all worked out. Thankfully, LOL!
I remember studying these WAY BACK WHEN! We were supposed to see them crawling through a jungle of fungal hyphae and then getting caught in a hyphael "snare" and subsequently devoured by the fungus. Uh uh! The nematodes that we were given were MUCH TOO LARGE to be caught in the snares that we saw. We needed a smaller gauge nematode! I was disappointed!
Worked on a dissertation project on C elgans in the final semester of Mol. Bio course and instantly fell in love with them.. Continued working on the project after that for more than a year.. beauty about the organism is, in a way they reply to you or communicate to your signals ( I know I'm a hopeless lonely individual).. Unfortunately, they are much lesser known than drosophila or mice and people tend to get disgusted by the idea of working with a roundworm or when they see worms wiggling under the microscope. This video marvellously extrapolates the dynamic world of nematodes.. Keep up the good work! :)
I learned a cool nematode fact recently. There is a nematode species that makes the vitamin B-12. Many animals have evolved a symbiotic relationship with this nematode, one of which is humans. Unfortunately, our B-12 nematodes live in our small intestine and the B12 they make can't be absorbed. Lucky for us, though, ruminates, like cows, can absorb the nematodes' B12. B12 deficient humans still have B12 in their feces, because it's made in our gut, just not absorbed. This is not an endorsement of eating your own poop for B12, though.
We ordered some nematoads to come wreck the grub worm population in our yard that's been eating our strawberry plants. It's kind of like picking a Pokemon to do battle with another Pokemon.
I am into ecospheres and active in various groups. Every time nematodes come up I post a link to this video. I have referred at least 5 dozen people so far ..love it!

so what i have learned is that everything on this planet is either a nematode or its not.
And each and every thing that exist is surrounded by at least 50 billion nematodes
Everything in the world is a penguin or is not
All of these things are correct. ☺️
Yes
You might also say that everything on this planet is either a nematode's food or a nematode's toilet. Or both.
