Phylum Gnathostomulida: Jaw Worms

It's now time to dig into the clade Gnathifera, which contains three phyla. The first of these is Gnathostomulida, which houses the jaw worms. These organisms, as you might guess, have impressive microscopic jaws. Because they are interstitial animals they were not discovered until the 20th century, but we have learned a lot about them, so let's get a closer look!

Can't wait for the rotifera tutorial. I found one last summer in a moss sample.

[@borttorbbq2556]

Oh yeah rotifers are interesting little organisms

This was no boating accident!

If we find life in unexpected environments, that should open more possibilities for life on other planets.

[@sciencenerd7639]

Thank you Dave and thank you Dr. Sterrer!

[@waelfadlallah8939]

Back at it with Prof Dave 🥳🥳🥳

[@alftitolito]

Your videos are a lot about worms, like the jamestourulids

[@techwizard8214]

I am in love with biology :(

[@thomasnaas2813]

That life thing really caught on in a big way, I hope it's not just a passing fad.

[@Ensaima]

Professor Dave sure knows a lot about the science stuff.

[@Valdagast]

He explains it too!

[@zeneyep6590]

My favourite emotionless professor, LOL

[@erzathorsteen830]

It's always "every continent but Antarctica" but is it because we simply haven't searched Antarctica enough, or because it's unlikely to live there because of reason xy? I know we can't say for sure, but I always would like to know how likely it is to possibly be found there. ^^

I thought Jaw Worms were about human jaws.
What a relief! Still looks like an Aliens monster.
"Global worming" Is he a scientist & a rapper?

[@chrismartin3197]

Jaw worm - sounds like the thing from Tremors

[@darkdragon5848]

Please do the rest faster , my exams are comming🥲

[@billyr2904]

I pronounce the 'g' in gnathostomulida, because in Greek you pronounce all the letters in a word.
