Here in Brazil, there is an island called Ilha da Queimada Grande, aka Ilha das Cobras/snake island. After the sea level rose, the snakes that lived there became isolated. Due to the lack of food, they decreased in size but also developed a super toxic poison. As the food was limited to small birds, the snakes had to develop a very strong venom that quickly killed the birds before they flew away. You can look this.

@lewismassie Год назад

I think I finally understand why some things get bigger but other get smaller when arriving at islands. Something like [size of animal] ∝ [productivity of region] So when the blue whales arrive at the shallow waters which are much smaller they are pressured to shrink in size. But the giant chamelons have much larger ranges than before on Madagascar so they grow bigger.

@edmondantes4338 Год назад

Kinda. It's more about the size of the niche that the animal can inhabit than simply the productivity of the region in general, which does of course play a part.

This made me wonder if those tiny chameleons can change color or if they just stay dry-dead-leaf color their whole lives.

They'll also change color as sunscreen like mini transition lenses.

Same in Europe, plants that have this dual distribution are said to have arctic-alpine distribution. Some of these ice age relicts can be found very far south, for example there's a population (subspecies? different species? I'm not clear on that) of white birch (Betula aetnensis) that's found in Sicily.

This video brought back memories. As an 18-year old first student of a Slavic language, I was on a student association trip to Slovenia. Among other places, we visited the Postojna cave and were shown the olms. The guide explained to us that they keep a few individual olms in a basin in the tourist-accessible area with flash lights that you're only allowed to shine on them for a short spell at a time, and that even then, the weak ambient light around the basin is really too much, and they regularly send the displayed olms back into the dark and get new ones to the basin. Too much light will kill them, and that includes any amount of light if it lasts for more than, if I remember correctly, a month or two.

@thomasmacdiarmid8251 Год назад

Another interesting example. I remember when I was young reading that the mid and southern Appalachian mountains had relict populations of plants that in modern times are found primarily much further north. The explanation given was that during the ice age maximums, colder-weather plants had thrived there and throughout the lower land as well, but that as the glaciers receded, the lower lands were invaded by more heat-hardy plants while the colder-acclimated plants had been isolated on the highlands. As I think on it, it could be that birds and bats (primarily) had spread seed in migrations. I would think that there should be quite a lot of North American and Eurasian mountains that have plants that are acclimated to conditions that prevail further north. I am thinking more of the moderate elevations - high enough that they would have substantially different conditions from the lower lands, but not so high that they have full alpine conditions, like icecaps, very thin soil, and aridity.

Loved this video! And love the island effect and speciation videos. Possible idea: How about when a mountain range or geographic feature like a canyon isolates a population from another within a continent? Like the two squirrel species on either side of the grand canyon? Though might be just regular allopatric example but combines biology and geography. Also in Australia the shear size has caused speciation say for a bird on the coast in the wet tropics vs one on the coast in the temperate zones-the different geography and climate meant their breeding seasons don’t line up and that has causes speciation.

One of the coolest underground animals I know about is called the waterfall climbing cave fish, found in Thailand. As it sounds, they climb underground waterfalls, but what's really cool is how they do it: They do a sort of shuffle that looks a lot like how reptiles move, alternating their front and back 'legs' in order to move forward. Definitely worth looking up videos of them walking.

@dennisbrandt5020 Год назад

Loved your video! However, in regard to the cave olms - from a evolutionary point of view - it would be incorrect to call the small isolated population a less adapted ancestral sub-species to the white olm. They too went through natural selection and evolution for hundreds of years just like the other populations, so they're in a strict sense not identical to the ancestral population - even if their outer appearance might be closer to the potential ancestors. It would be more accurate to call them a diverging sub-species and a sister sub-species to the white cave olm. Otherwise keep up your work! I am a PhD student in molecular biology and I like how you present the intricate connections between geography and biology.

The character's home system had many layers of defences put around it in their absence that they didn't know about nor did they have passwords for.

Fascinating video. I've often talked to my kids about the island effects of desserts and mountains when going over history and biodiversity in their studies, so I found this especially interesting. One statement caught my attention, however. I think you said something like "All water eventually flows to the ocean". While generally true, there are some exceptions. There are a number of landlocked basins and aquifers that have no outflow to the ocean, and large amounts of water are locked in permafrost and ice sheets. Aquifers might be an interesting topic for a video. The potential for the Nubian Aquifer discovered under the Sahara, or the risks with the drawing down of the Ogallala Aquifer under the Great Plains.

Movile Cave in Romania is a very interesting. I'm sure a video on it would be awesome. Really enjoy your videos !!

I would love to see a video on the many lakes in Canada and what sort of species diversity can be found among them!

@Higheaglebirb Год назад

Atlas Pro coming in hot with the best videos. Have you considered doing a video about the rift and how plate tectonics are splitting Africa? Sounds interesting and wanted to see your take on it!

Aquifers can sometimes help with transportation of species, so maybe there is large watery sections of the aquifer under the mountains that Ohms are using but I don't know for sure as I am not sure about the hydrology of the region.

@peterheinzo515 Год назад

or after a few thousand years, they were thriving in their cave so much that there were too many ohms, causing some to migrate back out of the cave again. but i agree, if their offspring could be transported through the groundwater, that would be way cooler.

Great Ad... well done!

You should talk about paramos at some point! Fascinating thundra environments right in the tropics

I wonder if there are any "islands" that are the opposite of the mountain version. (Like a huge deep sinkhole, with cliffs preventing animals from leaving).

@gabriellab4506 Год назад

There are giant sinkholes known as tiankengs which contain rare plants and animals in them due to the depth creating a cooler climate and also higher oxygen concentrations. I haven't found anything about unique species evolving within them but I think it's possible.

AWESOME!! You should do Chile and how the Atacama desert, the Andes and the Pacific has made it a virtual island in South America. Check how the scene changes north v/s south and the many islands (Desventuradas, Robinson Crusoe, Easter Island) that have unique niche species.. Many thank for all the good work!
