So, from what I can gather, phenotype is referring to _ANY_ measurable physical difference (including biochemistry, etc.), while morphotype is referring specifically to shape, structure, and other obvious parts of outward appearance. This makes morphotype a subset of phenotype. To give examples: A black-furred jaguar would be both a morphotype and a phenotype. Having a B- blood type would be a phenotype but not a morphotype. Edit: Another way of thinking about it: If it's something that can distinguish two individuals which you can observe without genetic analysis, it's a phenotype. If it's something you can observe without harming the individual or doing anything invasive, it's also a morphotype.

I don't remember if you have talked about Christmas tree worms before but I think they are quite funny. They thwoop back into their tube when threatened. Sea life is just neat, like Ctenophora or Bristle worms. My family loves the Sea bunny nudibranch.

[@curiodyssey3867]

Lmao your narration style has this energy that is so damn contagious. You seem like you'd be a blast to hang out with in real life, and Im not even all that interested in the ocean, you just make it incredibly interesting. Keep it up you're gonna blow up big time

[@GhostSoapO]

That kleptoplasty idea is such a good horror movie idea.

[@saltenzy449]

The Chloroplasts being able to run themselves thing even if they arent in the cell they are an organelle of is a really fun thing. Cuz the theory is that Chloroplasts (and Mitochondria and potentially the Nucleus itself) are endosymbiosis events. So in taking a chloroplast out of a cell and into use by another organism, the chloroplast is basically just switching hosts, and even though its dependent on a host to survive and cant do so fully on its own, a not fully correct host can still provide it the right conditions to continue operation for a long time. Cells are neat

[@travcollier]

But plastids have gotten rid of a lot of genes and structures which were redundant with stuff that the host cells provide. There's even been a lot of gene transfer from plastids into the nuclear DNA. So, just like parasites (but even moreso), chloroplasts and other plastids are very specialized to their particular host. BTW: Transfer of some genes from chloroplasts to nuclear DNA has happened a bunch of times independently. Just interesting/odd that it appears to be relatively easy.

[@qwertydavid8070]

@@travcollier Yeah this is what I was gonna say. Chloroplasts and Mitochondria have gotten so intrinsically interconnected to their hosts that they're barely even organisms anymore. Like, imagine if one of your organs was actually like a tiny rat that connected itself to your stomach (uhhhh sorry in advance for the gross imagery but it's just to illustrate the point of how "barebones" mitochondria are) That rat would have to loose all it's fur and skin. It'd probably also loose all it's sensory organs. So imagine a gross skinned rat with no eyes, ears, or mouth, with a tube sticking from it's stomach into yours. It'd probably also loose a lot of it's muscular capabilities, so if you were to surgically remove this wet lump-of-meat rat it'd probably do nothing but slightly spasm and pulsate on the floor. This rat is so intrinsically connected to you that it's indistinguishable from other organs. That's pretty much how different mitochondria are from their ancestors.

[@d1g1beastpr1me7]

That was... SO disturbing to read and I am delighted that I got to read it. You have described how mitochondria work exactly. Thanks friend

[@unknowable4147]

YES MORE SEA SLUG CONTENT

[@DrachenGothik666]

Sea slugs & nudibranchs have to be my favourites sea creatures ever & always.

[@kombatwombat6579]

Cross-referencing and checking for replicas of experiments IS educational.

[@RwnEsper]

For what it is worth, i really enjoy seeing/hearing about your research-related dead ends and tangents. It's relatable and speaks to how thoroughly you research. Also, OMG Hades! My most played game on Switch, by a couple orders of magnitude.

[@levankiknadze5354]

The Hades reference was priceless,!❤

[@GeoffryGifari]

stealing photosynthesis from plants/algae sounds like such a useful strategy i'm surprised this is not more common

[@GeoffryGifari]

how long until we can genetically engineer humans so we can do this too?

[@GeoffryGifari]

and how can an animal *extract* nutrients from a chloroplast anyway? surely just inserting chloroplast into your cell isn't enough

[@strongthumbs]

I’m outside covering myself with moss/mud right now, I’ll let you know if I feel less hungry

[@JPMGDF]

@@GeoffryGifarichloroplasts as well as mitochondria contain their own dna with which they can synthesise SOME of the proteins used in their electron transport chain. However a lot of the proteins vital to their function are coded in nuclear DNA so you can’t just insert a chloroplast into an animal cell as it doesn’t have the necessary genes that code for the proteins needed to maintain the chloroplast. This next part is just me speculating, but I’m pretty sure that differences in rybossomal RNA in plant and animal cells also make it so chloroplasts can’t use animal rybossomes

[@smugwendigo5123]

​@@strongthumbsyou less hungry ?

[@rosswhite-chinnery5725]

"There's nothing educational in this part, I just wanted to complain." This is why you are one of my favourite educators on KZbin!

[@DrachenGothik666]

Her comedy is top notch! I love her stuff! And we get educational videos about adorable sea critters on top of it? Glorious.

[@herbertkeithmiller]

6:25 the reason that chloroplasts and mitochondria have their own DNA is that once they were independent organisms that started out in a symbiotic relationship with the cells. They were absorbed by the cells much as these slugs do the chloroplasts, and eventually became part of it losing all but the DNA necessary to produce either chlorophyll for the chloroplasts or ATP in the mitochondria. But in both instances they also lost the DNA that allowed them to survive on their own.

[@DmensionXero]

So, a literal Grass Type pokemon. I love how much this channel educates me and keeps me aware of our home planet. ❤

[@lucyhenderson662]

You should make a video about Greenland sharks! They’re so cool and there’re so many fun things that make them unique. I love them ❤❤❤

[@janehates]

If you think that copepod was weird, check out the dendrogaster, which is a seastar endoparasite. I swear crustaceans make for the WILDEST parasites.

[@abrarkadabrar7829]

I didn't know learning about the underrated underappreciated critters in the alien universe of the ocean would be this entertaining. Kudos to you Octopus Lady!!

[@doctorrodman3872]

How did it take me so long to find this channel? It’s so good

[@midori_the_eldritch]

I would love to make a best guess on how they maintain the chlorophyll, but i would need to know the timing and order of failure. If it was just the membrane it could be replaced with a specialized vacule with some critical connection types for communication about food

[@Justanormalishguy]

Honestly *please* do an episode about copepods, especially parasitic species; the body-horror of their metamorphosis is... just kinda nifty

[@alex.3.kitsune663]

Gerbils are well known for degloving their tails. I thought all sorts of rats and mice can, it’s just traumatic 🤔 Spiny mice are interesting because they have osteoderms in their tails, which may act as some sort of chain mail beneath the skin that protects the tail better than species without the osteoderms

[@ricardoludwig4787]

Ok, I know that autotomy is a relatively common behavior among invertebrates, but what always trips me up is how they manage to grow back without digestive systems (and I couldn't find an explanation of it). Like how are they actually getting their nutrients???? Great video

[@Cat-tastrophee]

I don't think the scientists know either, honestly 😅

[@DeltafangEX]

They probably self-cannibalize, I'd think. No use for the rest of your body if you'd die instead of regenerate. Heal now, worry about eating later I guess.

[@earthadept]

Not an expert or anything, but possibly it either has energy reserves stored in their heads and it uses that to regenerate, or it autocanniballizes its existing tissues for regeneration.

[@donaldpacheco4671]

also greek mythology never cease to be entertaining I have biases from ficiotinal series like lore of olympuss and now I'm inclined to try and play hades. also I'm highly tempted to draw some cute slugs especially the ones with the cool name. their all cool names but greek mythology has a deep place within my heart.

[@esr1412]

I'm not a squishy person, but the parasites and the beheading made me flinch. Maybe because I was already feeling a bit sick and my body couldn't cope too well.

You know it's a good day, when The Octopus Lady posts ^^ I think I heard about these little guys before but completely forgot about them over time and I'm a little ashamed 'cause *how can anyone forget them when they're so CUTE!?* Anyway, I recently watched a small Dokumentary about the Oarfish and would love to listen to you explain them in your own unique and entertaining way :3

[@helenmelon5842]

[@Jean-jf7gx]

[@incineroar9933]

Oarfish apparently can drop their tails. There’s a 2017 documentary on KZbin that suggests they either do it when attacked by sharks or when they sexually mature. And their tails consists of a large portion of their body length

[@aceg81]

Yay! A new octopus lady video! It's like Christmas morning! This is just one detail of many that I love about your videos, but can I just say that I really admire how you directly talk about the papers you read to make these videos, and also state clearly where the edges of the existing research are? Not only is it a refreshing change from all the Confidently Incorrect voices out there who'd rather be wrong than admit to not knowing something, but it also highlights that there's so much cool stuff out there left to discover!! In some fields, it seems like you need a billion-dollar particle accelerator to make any substantial new discoveries, so I think it's really exciting that there's deep stuff like this (how does a critter steal and then maintain the organelles of a completely different kingdom of life!?) that could potentially* be figured out by researchers and students in many university's bio labs. *Not that it'd be easy or anything, obvs, but possible?
