Fantastic videos! I apologize I was harsh on the AI voice in a prior video, I am now more impressed by your work learning your English language limitations. You are doing a tremendous job! It is unfortunate that most of the comments are criticizing pronunciation but you are incredibly brilliant in the dense science presented so to me the pronunciations are a non-issue and I think any of your repeat viewers agree. I have faith that you will work out these pronunciation issues but even if you don't those of us who are here for the science will continue to be here. I look forward to more!

To be honest, your words really touched me. As a beginner in English, I can only study it in my spare time. I am a Taiwanese person who grew up in Portugal, and I only speak Chinese and Portuguese. This channel is also just a hobby outside of my work. I really like paleontology, and although I'm not a professional, I enjoy studying these things. Oh, I've said too much nonsense. Anyway, I really appreciate your understanding, it means a lot to me.

how true is the walking placenta part in insect metamorphosis? is a caterpillar and other larval stages of other insect species really just a walking womb for the actual insect? Can someone refute this or at least give me some sources so i can read more about this?
@AncientDiscovery2 ай бұрын
That's just a metaphorical writing technique to help non-professionals understand the role of imaginal discs in the transformation from larvae to adult insects. I specifically recommend you look at these two books: "The Development of Drosophila melanogaster": This book details the development process of fruit flies, including the formation and function of imaginal discs. Gilbert, S.F. (2013). "Developmental Biology," 10th edition. Sunderland (MA): Sinauer Associates. This book has a chapter dedicated to insect metamorphosis and imaginal discs.

@@AncientDiscovery thanks but im still wondering, are the larval and the adult insect stages of the insect two separate organisms? This type of life cycle is far more alien than i ever imagined, so strange and fascinating
@AncientDiscovery2 ай бұрын
@@ohdahngboi_2237 Although the larval and adult stages differ greatly in form and function, they are different developmental stages guided by the same genome. The larval stage can be seen as a period of growth and energy accumulation in the insect's life cycle, while the adult stage is focused on reproduction and dispersal. The energy and resources accumulated during the larval stage provide the foundation for the survival and reproduction of the adult stage.So...No

The most primitive ray-finned fish such as sturgeon shown their have the similar traits with their cousins cartilaginous fish
@AncientDiscovery4 ай бұрын
Regarding cartilaginous fish, there's another video. In the evolutionary process, ray-finned fish indeed have a lineage that closely mimicked cartilaginous fish, which is the Chondrostei, or as you mentioned, sturgeon. However, they survived less , so I didn't specifically mention them. They are indeed not cartilaginous fish but could be considered masters of mimicry.

Some claims here are questionable. Chondrichthyes (jawed cartilaginous fish) seem to be possible from within the Acanthodii group. That would mean they had bones and their current cartilaginous structure is a secondary trait.
@AncientDiscovery4 ай бұрын
While it's an intriguing hypothesis, there isn't currently sufficient evidence to support the idea. Most researchers consider Chondrichthyes to be a distinct class of fish separate from Acanthodii, which are typically categorized as jawed vertebrates with bony skeletons. However, scientific understanding evolves, and new evidence could potentially change our perspectives on this matter-ChatGpt

It’s worth mentioning that the griffenflies, those huge bird-sized dragonflies, survived all the way till the end of the Permian. Not only that, some of their Permian representatives, like Meganeuropsis, were just as large as their Carboniferous ancestors, even though the oxygen level was much lower and other land dwelling arthropods were accordingly smaller. They had to have had some way to maintain that size, though to my knowledge paleontologists still haven’t figured out how they did it.

That's the fascinating thing about natural history-there are always captivating mysteries waiting to be unraveled. However, the relationship between oxygen levels and insect size is quite complex and not something that can be explained in just a few sentences.
