↓↓↓ More info and sources below ↓↓↓
The biggest (and most mysterious!) migration in the world happens every night in the ocean as 10 billion tons of zooplankton swim to the surface to feed. This undersea journey is known as Diel vertical migration, and it occurs in every ocean in the world. By learning more about why this happens, science can unlock the secrets behind other phenomena, like our biological clocks…and even climate change.

A friend of mine did an anatomy paper on Euphausia pacifica, the North Pacific krill, way back in our day. One section was on the Diel Vertical Migration that these zooplankton are part of. He called that section: "The Rise and the Fall of the Roaming Empire"!

@fajaradi1223 Год назад

Which one? The western roaming empire? Or the eastern one?

@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache Год назад

Ok that's actually witty.

@kayfoster7385 Год назад

Imagine how terrifying it was when you are a soldier in the submarine and detect the plankton mass. It is very easy to assume the mass as 1 giant creature that makes it way to the surface everyday but ignore the submarine.

@Entr0picWh0re Год назад

It would not be crazy to think there are probably a few forums or websites where someone is commenting on a mystery / conspiracy / cryptozoology website about that time where they were in the army and had that crazy experience detecting what must have been the Bloop Godzilla or a megalodon on their sonar and how it was classified and nobody talked about it ever again lol 😂 would bet on that.

@aricmajere1720 Год назад

I respect that he never made a pun regarding the fact the expert on a non-avian migration is named Bird.

@Nethershaw Год назад

2:50 Fun etymological fact. The related Greek verbs πλάζω (plázō) and πλανάω (planáō) both have senses meaning "to wander," and are where we get the words "plankton" _and_ "planet."

@Nobodyfromnowhere42 Год назад

πλάζω means make

@alexandermarquardt597 Год назад

I really, really like how happy Mrs. Bird is to talk about her stuff. There is nothing like someone who loves their field lighting up when talking about it, it's magic.

@grahamrankin4725 Год назад

In 1970, there was a total solar eclipse in the Gulf of Mexico just north of the Yucatan. One of the biological oceanographers at Texas A&M monitored the vertical migration during the eclipse.

@28Pluto Год назад

Pretty much any species of animal that have nocturnal activities (certain birds, bats, insects, etc) wake up during an eclipse and start doing nighttime activities. This "prank" by nature must really confuse them when their whole rhythm gets unbalanced.

@Dz73zxxx Год назад

As an oceanography student, this topic is my Marine Bio lecturer's ultimate weapon on checking a student wether or not they paid attention to the 3rd introduction class 😂 aah brings back the nostalgia (fortly i remembered it lol)

True, also you're here now lol. Now that you're in the edutainment videos the only yt genre I haven't seen you in are vtuber comment sections and really, really niche videos I think.

@terramater Год назад

Amazing content! Thank you! There are so many species living in the ocean that are super important for the planet and we don’t even think about them! Our crew went to the Antarctica and found out that this vast and fragile ecosystem depends on a far smaller resident: krill. Around 400 million tons live in the Southern Ocean, where they provide a valuable food source and remove damaging CO2 from the atmosphere. But they are at risk, not only because of climate change. Our team dived deep into the topic to understand if we can still save the krill, and if not, what consequences we will be facing.

@alexdemoura9972 Год назад

If I'm not mistaken, the largest horizontal migration of biomass is annual and is located south of South Africa. Does anyone have an idea of the migratory mass? Ten billion tons daily? It's impressive - I had no idea.

@ScotHarkins Год назад

MedCram talked about melatonin research that pointed out that our melatonin levels in daytime are orders of magnitude greater than the nighttime levels produced by the pituitary. Daytime infrared from the sun penetrates into the body, triggering melatonin production by mitochondria all over the body where IR reaches. It is a critical factor for certain metabolic processes, so it seems our nighttime supply is in part to compensate for the lack of production, supplying around 5% of our daily melatonin supply. So, we, too, are responding to the daily cycles of solar infrared and the nighttime loss of melatonin production.

@DemPilafian Год назад

*3,000 feet?* You mean *1,000 meters?* The ocean zone diagram is in meters (as it should be for science), so it doesn't help us understand the information easier by talking in feet. For the younger viewers considering careers in STEM, mixing of imperial and metric units harms their numeracy essential for their career success. Everyone watching a science channel is familiar with metric.

You'd think that the act of using sonar creates a difference to whatever life is there.. As in just because we won't hear it, other life ( like whales & a subs sonar) would feel the vibration &/or hear it , changing behavior or at least confusing what can be drawn from what we see/hear..

The problem with the sinking of CO2 into the ocean depth is that many small animals that build shells and exoskeletons cannot do this if the acidity gets too high. Already not this is starting to become a problem, alongside the temperature incease. The IPCC clearly makes that point.
