      Yeah, evolution is like a lazy college student. Instead of going for the absolute best, it merely results in something good enough.

      @cardescomedioses3674 Před 7 měsíci +10

      Yeah, a concept of evolution i read was evolution's dead ends, and it talks about how some evolutionary paths stumble with evolving certain traits to their phisical limitations and can't exactly redo a lot of the evolved traits since the group can't choose "hey, let's lose this trait, it's a dead end" so it is kinda stuck with it and needs to find an alternative solution,
      A little example is human eyesight, it is dog shit, it basically has the machinery inverse and re processed to barely work, why don't we evolve eyes like octopus? Since they are perfectly optimized? Well we would need millions of years of selectively unbreeding our eyes and then evolve to have them again like octopuses have, wich is, as you can imagine, inprobable and a death sentence to our species being blind millions of years until we evolve them again, same happens to the barnacles, since they had a crustacean base, they can't simply change their reproductive system to an efficient one, unlike spunges that evolved to reproduce like that since the beggining

      I agree with your statement, but I would like to put out my own theory on why barnacles have such a long penis
      Perhaps they evolved in the tide pools which would provide safety from predators, however they would face a problem relating to reproduction. How would they prevent their offsprings from being slowly pushed away from the coast or worse to dry land? This problem could’ve been the reason for barnacles not broadcast spawning.

And I also imagine that they probably don't survive too well once they get detached from their forever home. If they end up in mud or sand or something that doesn't allow them to extend their feeding appendages, then they'll probably starve to death :/

    If memory serves, Darwin was the one to first realize barnacles were crustaceans where before they had been grouped as mollusks. This was a huge deal in classifying them since reclassifying an organism at the group, or genus level was one thing, but at the phylum level was much more extraordinary. Yeah, it drove him to hate the little guys with every fiber of his being as they were so frustrating to study at the time. However, this study of these little guys helped refine and shape his insights into natural selection. To think the study of a small sedentary filter feeder helped form one the most revolutionary theories in scientific history is quite humbling.

    The other thing that the parasitic castrator barnicles do is that they need a female crab to take care of them as if they were an egg sac, so they use hormones to create one.
    For reasons which need not be explained, there is a small but persistent group of people that finds that awesome.

    • @ReasonMakes
      @ReasonMakes Před rokem

      Whales do shed their skin in patches, but the barnacles stay on. Only the outermost, dead skin layer comes off, while barnacles remain attached to the living skin.
      Whales get barnacles off by rubbing up against rocks and being cleaned by other animals.

    • @8kayydub8
      @8kayydub8 Před rokem

      They do but barnacles pull the whales skin into their shell and penitrate their glue really deep. So deep they cause scars when they come off. So they aren't effectied by skin shedding.

    I reasoned that the immature barnacle seemed to have an endoskeleton and looked a lot like a sand hopper, which are crustacians, so they might be in that subphylum (didn't know that word before. Thanks for that :D).
    Flawed reasoning, I know, but sometimes it pays off 😂

    if you were curious: barnacles dont usually broadcast spawn bc theyre most often located in pretty rough waters along a shoreline or on animals, so it reduces their overall reproductive success compared to other animals like bivalves or corals.

  • @tiggerbiggo
    @tiggerbiggo Před rokem +3

    So I did a bit of approximate math rounding that figure up to 10x10^5, and it ends up working out around 100 newtons of force (equivalent to holding up a 10KG weight) required per square centimetre of barnacle glue. I have absolutely no idea if that is actually accurate, but having once tried to peel off a barnacle and being utterly unsuccessful, it feels around the right ballpark for how strong it is.

    • @Coastal_Cruzer
      @Coastal_Cruzer Před rokem +2

      It's about 130 pounds per square inch. I'm not sure on the exact conversion but 10kg/cm^2 sounds about right.
      (Googled it and it is, 130 psi is about 9kg/cm^2)

    I believe that barnacles had evolved such a long male structure is because they originally evolved in tidal zones, which broadcast spawning isn’t as effective in the tide pools.

    It's so great to FINALLY find a channel creator who respects others & believes in crediting artists/creators when one uses their work (and even asking their permission to use it!), citing the sources where one finds the info that they use, quoting instead of plagiarizing, writing original scripts for one's vids, being as courteous as one can be, being sure that one does their best to not misinform & spread incorrect info., AND who isn't opposed to doing what it takes to offer factual info., even if that means taking the time to sift through BUTTLOADS of scientific articles &/or doing hours of tedious reading/notetaking/research.
