A Plague of Parasites Broke Out in My Giant Rainforest Vivarium

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

My giant cloud rainforest vivarium, Pantdora, has been facing a threat of mites infecting a colony of ants. On my quest to find out what kind of mites they are, I attempt to affect environmental conditions and observe how the mites react to the changes. In this episode, I learn and gain insight into the role of parasites in nature, as well as discover some new surprising species appearing in the rainforest. I hope you enjoy this Season 2, episode 2 of my Ecosystem Vivarium Series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

And maybe release some more lady bugs. Also the reason the worms come out after the rain is because the soil becomes anoxic. Such a good episode AntsC! Even in the face of unexpected events.

    There's actually a theory that parasites serve a role in regulating the immune system. Some epidemiologists have noted that the rise of autoimmune disorders seems to coincide with the fall of parasitic infections in humans. Correlation does not equal causation, but it's an interesting observation.

    @@opheliusluci7992 True. I never said definitively that this theory was true. The question was just asked in the video about what purpose parasites serve in the ecosystem. I'm just sharing something that I heard from a microbiologist recently. The theory states that minor parasitic infestations and low grade infections keep the immune system busy so that it doesn't turn on the body's own tissues. With modern medicine and sanitation eliminating these factors, the immune system loses this check and is more likely to run amok. So not a direct causation, but more of a thumb on the scales, shifting probability.

    There are many of parasites in this world. Ones that effect us more than you know. Ik it's scary, but some change our moods and how we eat as well. If a parasite likes certain elements in foods, it will make you crave them. Even help with bad food addiction as when you stop eating said food, the parasite will make you crave it, and also make you feel horrible unless you eat it. It needs it for its survival. Theres ones that also cause balding and also cause those affected to be grumpy and annoyed constantly. Demons are what they truly are... but there are amazing ways to fight them!! One amazing way is with ivermectin! It's commonly used as horse dewormer as horses have very sensitive digestive tracts. So it only kills parasites! There is also Avermectin, which is found in dandelion root, I believe. Ivermectin is a very amazing substance. It's CRAZY how there is no over the counter version for people (that ik of). Luckily, the "horse dewormer" is basically just ivermectin. It's gotten a bad name for itself somehow... but it is truly an amazing medicine. I know of a woman whose mom had limes disease, and she went on a self medicated experiment with ivermectin and (according to her) it CURED limes disease!! A disease known to only be able to be treated... at least, that's what the medical field here in America states. Which, btw, is not built to cure. Just to treat. Because constant medication means for money for them... it really ticks me off😤😡

    Really neat that you're doing your best to make sure the environment and weather inside Pantdora mirror's that of the outside world. IIRC, a lot of earlier large scale biome experiments actually failed because there was no wind inside...and it turns out that stuff like trees, bushes, etc actually NEED to be exposed to stuff like wind and harsh weather to become strong and tough.

    As a bonsai practicioner I know the importance of such movement. Plant cells are rigid to various degrees .When a branch or trunk moves or is bent some of the cells are damaged. Scar tissue forms to cover the damage and acts much like a cast put over a broken arm or leg. The scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue and causes the new bend to be retained. It also adds strength to area. Strong winds can cause this to happen over large areas of the tree which adds strength to the entire area.

    The other answer is the weak and allergic die off in other societies. There has been a recent finding that bacterial infections are key in prompting our t cell response to viruses and cancer, thus as we no longer get scrapes we have weaker response.

    Scientists have already said that most of us have dna-markers that our ancestors survive the plague. They also found out that peanut allergy comes from not being introduced to it while the womb as well as a small child where our bodies learn what is dangerous and whats not. So, very true, exposure does strengthen us (see vaccines) but overexposure also weakens us (see any poison or illness).

    @@yukeshv7251It's quite probable, with all the other investments, the cinematography, the story he needs for successful youtube videos... There's also overt hints here or there that an entire team is working on this. I cannot imagine that all the entertainment is left to chance. On the other hand, he's pretty good at making stories out of nothing happening. "Oh no I haven't seen such and such for 48 hours, they might be dead, oh cruel nature." "Ah what a miracle, it showed up!" As well as being quite transparent through little hints, like the mantis mating story with Green and White reaper. "Oh maybe, had I done that differently, it would have worked etc." There's tonnes of "sleight of hand" involved in the series. But! Does it really matter? Informative, entertaining, great cinematography, no "the message" I can detect, no animal cruelty (cause even if there is, it's just bugs, isn't it?). It's like the Sandkings by G.R.R. Martin. He's playing god, sometimes a cruel god, sometimes a benevolent god to a bunch of lower lifeforms.

    Love this series! Just a small note on parasitism… the mitochondria and gut microbiomes are examples of a mutualistic relationship in which both species involved benefit. In both cases, the mitochondria and gut microbes enjoy protection from predation and the harsh environment, while their host gains access to a new energy source (the mitochondria produces ATP through the Krebs cycle, and the gut microbes allow us to digest plant matter). The reason these interactions persisted is because they were beneficial to both parties, so it can’t be considered parasitism. However, the point you made about mealybugs providing protection against herbivory despite technically having a parasitic relationship with plants is fascinating! Those are the kind of observations that can only be made by watching nature at work! This is easily my favorite series on KZread!!

    Spiders, like jumping spiders, wolf spiders, brown reclusive, garden orb weaver spiders, and finally of course, huntsman spiders, very commonly will still lay eggs that aren’t fertilized. Usually within a few weeks they completely abandon the egg sack, or end up eating the eggs. Just depends because one fertilization creating two egg sacks isn’t unheard of.
