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"!

Ok that's actually witty.

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."

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

8:56 "release waste products, where they get eaten and die" is such a poetic depiction of life cycle

This is extremely great, less than 10 minute gang yess

Thank you!

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.

I love that you used the famous "Wilhelm scream" at 8:59 when the fish got eaten. 😅

Awesome!

That was just informative.

Thank you

Thanks for sharing. :-)

Super Nice, didn't even know that plankton could do this!

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.

8:55 I have heard PBS Studios use the meme fard sound effect, my life is complete now.

Hey Joe! Did life on earth start only once? Since we have only once common ancestor? But if it happened once can it happen again? Love your channel!!!!

I miss your videos man!

Damn straight! Never say sorry for an epic pun.

Out of context question! Did you got your channel logo idea from the pattern on the door behind you?

Pretty amazing

Did you know in the end when you said "it's krilling us" it reminded me of DBS abridged and how krillin (the character) says "it's krillin time".🤣😂💯

Why haven’t I ever heard of this before?!?!!!!

You're Krill-ing Larry!

kool stuff

Sonar... please continue to tell me how interesting plankton are with your sonar. 😂

I just watched 3 videos in a row that had the Wilhelm Scream in it..... 😂

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..

Why am I crushing on dr Kelly …

Im curious what caused that dip in atmospheric growth (without dip in emmisions according to the graph) around 1991ish.. different data sets?.. outliers peakkng through?.. actual phenomenon?

8:56 caught me off guard 😂

woah, first time being this early

You krilled it, srsly. 😂🎉

Neat

tapping into this process, you can make a carbon negative power source, with otec systems.

My natural circadian rhythm is weird! Since I've retired & no longer need to worry about a job, I sleep from around 06.00 until 14.00.

Okay, I will go look one of my freshwater aquarium which have millions of tiny inverts at the middle of night

Hey Joe didn't know you were Dragon ball z fan 😂😂 Nice one !

See? Even benthic life forms have visa free travel allowing vertical "migration".

hi Joe

Damn, when I heard it was underwater I actually thought this was going to be about lanternfish.

But being honest, didn't we have an episode about it before? I swear I saw you say something about this some time ago... am I having a deja vu?

I have watched Natural World Facts so I KNOW EVERYTHING

Zooplankton: Hello, Sam. Phytoplankton: Hello, Ralph.

Fix the volume levels please .....

Man to think the inhabitability of the planet depends on such tiny and barely noticable things. The world is such a complex place.

*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.

I was kindof hoping it was the unexplained mass sponge migration Ray Stantz witnessed

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.

That ain't migration. That's commuting. Lol

Thanks for not being sorry, I really enjoy your little jokes. :)

Ok... NET migration. The Arctic Tern still holds the distance record.

Thought this was the border, my bad.

so we are speeding up the evolution of plankton now?

To add to Joe's joke, "I guess you could say, we're going to end up like Krilin from DragonballZ, very dead"

I love the climate change videos, we should always be more patient and understanding about the earth and how it works This zooplankton migration is just another way the earth is mysterious, something so small has such a big impact, I hope they’re allowed to keep doing their job for many more millennia
