So far in my studies of biogeography, we've mainly looked at how life distributes and structures itself on land. Today we're changing that by taking a deep dive into the many similarities and differences between terrestrial and marine environments.

@Trash_Boat007 Год назад

A significant factor that was neglected is the salinity of regions in the worlds oceans. It’s not constant at all. Places like the Red Sea have a significant degree of endemism in the organisms that live there due to the significantly greater salinity in its waters than the rest of the surrounding oceans. I just thought that was neat. It probably isn’t significant enough to make it it’s own realm though. Great video as always this one was spectacular! Congrats on 1,000,000 subscribers too :))) you’ve earned it!

@dylath2304 Год назад

Could make such areas equivalent to islands, perhaps with gigantism, dwarfism, etc

@jacobdrum Год назад

I would also add two considerations: 1) Deep sea vents, whale falls, tree falls, and other such pockets are areas of remarkable diversity and endemic species and don't require photosynthesis; they rely on chemosynthesis and scavenging. 2) I think the open ocean shouldn't be ignored as its own biome, desert and populated by transients though it may be. The vast vertical migrations that take place there can dwarf terrestrial animal groups in both numbers and weight. Both of these hint at a potential third point, which is that it may be impossible to regionalize oceanic life when so much of the sea remains un- or under-explored and/or understood.

@otsokivivuori7726 Год назад

Same with the baltic being so low salinity to almost being able to be called freshwater. It is also quite different from the greater north atlantic temperate region.

As an Australian, I find the marine realm profound. Walking from a topical rain forest, down to a sandy beach, then out to coral reefs is one the most wonderful experiences of my life. I remember it was mid-winter's day, yet it was warm and enveloping paradise.

@Pwn3dbyth3n00b Год назад

Aside from physical barriers, salinity, currents and temperature plays a major role in separating oceanic populations. It's like how a desert can seperate species despite it being connected by land and you could "simply" walk through it.

@vitaminluke5597 Год назад

Certain keystone species make these realms feel more concrete. E.g. the temperate North Atlantic realm has atlantic salmon from NY to France, while the Pacific salmon species range from Japan to California. I'm sure the other realms all have some charismatic species or clade that can be used as a sort of mascot.

Great video! Small correction on the origin of ice floating in the Arctic: While some of it might come in via Snowfall on land -> Glaciers -> Calving -> Icebergs, the majority is actually sea water freezing at ~-1.8°C depending on salt concentration. The two forms of ice also look visually quite different. The ice from Icebergs looks like floating mountains of ice, while sea ice, especially the fresh kind in spring is found in large nearly flat sheets.

@stevejohnson3357 Год назад

Ocean residents do move around. It's getting more and more common for marine life to wash up on shore far far away from where it should be. Also there is the coelacanth. Rediscovered as a living being off the coast of South Africa now known to live in the south Pacific as well. An amazing video. I wish there were more of you.

@kalrandom7387 Год назад

Off the coast of Madagascar, about six thousand years ago there was a meteor hit that is a 20-mile crater in the bottom of the ocean which move tremendous amounts of ocean floor in that area both towards Madagascar and Australia, in Madagascar it left chevron's 600 ft tall so you might want to also consider in events like that.

@Khnug Год назад

I really liked this video, but one thing stuck out to me is that one whole subset of ecoregions with its own primary producers is missing, namely deep sea ecoregions. Both submarine brine lakes and hydrothermal vents have a completely unique way of sustaining themselves, even completely foregoing photosynthesis in favour of chemosynthesis to gain energy. These ecosystems seem very distinct from those mentioned in the video and are very diverse and different from any ecosystems found in surface waters.

@AtlasPro1 Год назад

I agree that deep sea ecosystems were left out, but I had two main reasons for doing this. First life at the bottom of the ocean is scarce and patchy, so even if brine lakes and hydrothermal vents support life, it can't be said that any continuity exists between these environments. Second, the deep ocean is still poorly understood, and we dont yet have a complete picture of the life that exists in these places. Maybe one day we'll know enough for me to return to this and make a biogeography of the deep ocean!

@rebelcommander7starwarsjur922 Год назад

@@AtlasPro1 I think you should make a video anyways about what we do currently know I’m not an expert taken no classes and haven’t done much research other than a tone on nature documentaries but I think you could do a video about what we do currently know even if you can’t then that’s fine it’s just a suggestion you could also do a video going over different layers of the ocean and stuff like the relationships between the layers or maybe did life evolve in shallow waters the open ocean the deep sea and if the open ocean what layer?

@renatoe9648 Год назад

pretty cool explanation for the water column you can divide how much it by depth regions that have very distinctive fauna based on how much sunlight gets there, but also a great number o animals doing daily vertical migrations, deeper avoiding predators in the day and to the surface at night to feed. Then you have other factors of division like the termocline where surface temps after gradualy decresing with depth rapidly change to the normal 4 C of deep oceans. Another is the Oxygen minimum zone at a certain depth (variable) you'll find an area very low in Oxygen that limits the spread of surface creatures, but more tolerant ones can use it to hide from predators.

@CMZneu Год назад

I have always been fascinated by marine photosynthesizers, especially the lack of more marine plants(especially angiosperms) like seagrass, i like your theory(hypothesis) about anchoring points for photosynthesizers as an explanation but i do feel like this and nutrients can't be the whole story, especially since freshwater aquatic plants do so well in biodiversity. I would love to see some type of mangrove like forest just reaching up from relatively deep ocean or just vast green oceans covered by some sort of marine duckweed.

Fantastic video. Really great introduction to the topic. Those Biogeography 101 students won't know how lucky they are! When looking at the map it reminded me that I'd recently lectured on invasive species and saw the temperature north pacific and north atlantic zones - one of the invasive species I talked about was the red King crab (not a crab but a carcinised Decapod), brought over to the waters of the Kola peninsula by Soviet Russian in the 60s and are now invading Norwegian waters as they have no top predator (giant pacific octopus) and leaving desert in their wake. Just last year UK fisheries have started fishing them. there's definitely a great story to make a video about if you're interested. I'm also curious about the antarctic circumpolar current and what role it has in keeping the southern ocean realm species assemblage separate. Anyways thanks again for a great input.

This channel is a gem. As someone who has a broad interest in natural sciences, it is great to have access to educational content that goes further than what I learned in high school. I decided to go with medicine for my career bc I want to have a job and money lol . I could minor in geography or something but I don't have time for that. After uni documentaries seem too dumbed down and dramatized, so I watch RU-vid instead. The problem is that educational RU-vid channels all tend to cover similar, small pieces of information (that do make a click worthy title) without going into the basic concepts, that you would learn in college/uni, that are important for actually understanding those small interesting tidbits. When you understand the basic mechanisms everything just makes sense. That's why this channel is so good.

Just an idea... I think you might have underestimated the role of ocean currents to link/seperate biogeographic zones of oceans. Although currents are "invisible", they are a still physical connections/barriers, and even powerful ones, acting like highways! It can explain why north-american/european temperate zones and south-american/african tropical zones are connected accross Atlantic. This may also explain why the huge tropical indo-pacific coral kingdom is divided into 3 realms: at least, one influenced by indian ocean currents and one influenced by pacific ocean curents. It is also a determinant factor for the isolation of Antarctica. I also read articles saying that ocean currents can explain the relative homogeneity accross the planet and the persistence in time for the deep sea ceatures.
