What Exactly is Invasive Alien Species? The Real Threat We've Been Facing
We have been facing the threat of invasive alien species for quite a while. Some say invasive alien species is the number one cause of extinction. Even if not, they surely do significant damages to the nature. What are they exactly? Let’s talk about it.

Actually, i have a theory about that, Squidward species of octopus evolved convergenly to a Squid like form, lost 2 of their arms and 2 of them became tentacle like to manipulate even better objects, and during the episode of the Neptune Moon we see is wild ancestors, he still retains is 8 arms, so it would be surprising that Squidward species is a really recent species
I can't tell if you're saying Birds of Shame or Birds of Shale, but I want to know more about them.
Great vid, was very riveting!
18:52 i think the reason they are categorized together is specifically because what it takes to over come , that large amount of magical power they possess and them not being intelligent Nightmare fore you to face inner demons and has a similar mental strain as you would trying to physically overcome a dragon
The iconic known differences between the Occidental Goose (Anser anser domesticus) and the Oriental Goose (Cygnopsis cygnoides domesticus).
How old is Spong Bab actually ??
The Cockatrice ang Basilisk being Serpents is cool. Despite what we actually see, we may think the bird is the main body but the snake "tail" is the actual body. Technically its a snake with a mutated tail that became the Cockatrice and the Basilisk
I heard Dingo situation is complicated, I think, they are alien too, but not invasive? And I heard about some invasive plant in Latin America, but local birds rely on their fruits (stem or something) because they fruit late.
Yea dingo is complicated, but the general conclusion is actually the opposite of your thought They are considered invasive, but native because their introduction happened long time ago that its basically before history, so it is the rare example of "invasive native species"
let me take a minute to appreciate you for something completly odd, I have heard my entire life the pseudoname or cientific name "gluteus maximus" and i always wondered, if it is a "gluteus maximus" would there be a gluteus minimus? this could sound completely stupid question, the kind of question that you made as a kid or teen that doesn't know any better, and i leave it at that. but THANK YOU VERY FRICKING MUCH for letting me know that my question was not indeed stupid, and that THERE IS a gluteus minimus... And is not mine
Did not expect the last phrase of this comment and it genuinely made me laugh
This video is absolute 🔥🔥🔥
The dryad might be a mimic evolution. Like some non-poisonous animals mimic their poisonous counterparts without the downside of spending resources to actually produce the poison/venom. Also who are the 2 girls at the bottom in the second column(the one who has house and L) 1:01:00 ?
The front most is Faust from Limbus Company, behind her (to the right of the screen) is Binah / Garion from Lobotomy Corporation / Library of Ruina (same universe)
@@OutofPlaceZoologist Thank you very much
If you do a subnautica video my life is yours! It’s one of my favorites games, I’m ocean obsessed and desperately want more scientific and biologic focused videos about it!
The only reason i'm against the thought is i believe there are lots of such videos already (from marine biologists even) that my insights would be redundant
Awesome video! Did not know about the squirrel situation! Here in Appalachia, most places are devoid of squirrels from cats and dogs, but you drive 5 minutes down the roads, and they're everywhere because nothing else eats them! Always wondered how Starlings got here. I could never think of a way they could get here accidently or any reason to bring them here on purpose.
Man I can’t believe we found the real life Laios
one big thing i want to bring up about pokemon and its evolution system, levels and level requirements are exclusively a game mechanic and nothing else. in the shows and movies evolution is treated as something entirely different, even having variations of evolution that are just stated as evolution in the games. some evolutions are just considered life stages, some are considered upgrades to their base form and some are even considered a complete change of species entirely. there are a number of pokemon species that evolve naturally as their life progress while others will require specific needs to be met first, either by themselves, their environment or another species. as such the entire evolution system is actually a number of different systems that have been lumped together due to 1. it being a game mechanic and 2. professor oak is just senile and made a whole bunch of errors and doesnt want to change things
The nightmares being dragons reminds me of barnacles and how people thought they were mollusks until they realized years later that they were crustaceans, which then lead Darwin to study barnacles to better understand where they might go, which then frustrated him to the point where he declared "I hate a barnacle as no man ever did before." I wonder if any dungeon ecologist cried themselves to sleep next to a tank of nightmares.
I know I’m late, but for deviant hunts, the only deviant fights that are quote unquote “canon” are the G5 hunts, equating to only one single specimen of the deviant existing, and it being hunted due to posing too much of a threat to the rest of the natural order
Holy crap... stop spreading this bullshit about house cats... This misinformation started as a post from the Smithsonian like 5 years ago and it is completely unproven opinion...and bad data. Its been refuted by real scientists. Can we please stop knee jerk posting shitty pop science blurbs and presenting them as fact...
L + Ratio
Report for Misinformation! You're on so much copium dude. Cats have literally wiped out more species than BP Oil and Gas. There are Pacific Islands with shoot-on-sight laws for cats because they kill so many native species. Cats literally kill even without being hungry, and this HAS BEEN PROVEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN. You're literally trolling.
If you can't see how destructive we are to the environment, where tf are you?
@@isaacthedestroyerofstuped7676 nice self upvote have another on me 👍
Excellent video! It's exactly the kind of Dungeon Meshi analysis I was hoping to find.
Just a political term to shift the consequences of human impact onto organisms that were introduced by humans
You're literally clowning bro I'm sick and tired of seeing people outright deny over a centuries worth of science on educational and well-researched videos like these. Please take your foolishness elsewhere

I dont think i have been this early to your videos but its is always such a treat everytime you upload
15:10 T.A.D.P.O.L.E. spotted
I expected the definition of invasive to just be that a species performs better in the new location than it does in it's own.
great video, I really appreciated the explanation of the terms "invasive" and "alien"
AMOGUS
Babe wake up, Out of Place Zoologist just uploaded!
I love your last section about Laios and I completely agree with you. His statement about monsters being dangerous really made an impression on me too. That added so much to his character. Not being able to read social cues is one thing, being an asshole is another thing. Too many people nowadays think being an asshole is cool. Luckily Laios is a good character that understands his own shortcomings and genuinely tries, as long as people explicitly tell him and not do the subtle social cues thing, he is very respectful to everyone. He is the perfect lovable dork character.
Tbf, Monarch was shown to be heavily militarised in its early days. It was shown on the TV series when the "real" scientists disappeared.
I really enjoyed this content! I wish you didn’t have the put your disclaimer at the beginning about your option… I understand why, and that’s what’s disappointing. As for ideas for similar content. I would love to see your take on Monster Hunter. It “feels” realistic with its ecology and such, but I’m curious on your take and opinions!
I actually made a video talking about monster hunter, although specifically about the species concept and classification. I find it redundant to talk about the previous games because there are a whole series of books on zoologists thought on them and there are lots of dedicated channels (kinda) that talk about the actual in universe ecology I do plan on reviewing stuffs on MH wild when its released since it'll be "fresh" insights
One of the things to keep in mind for Digimon evolutions is that one of the things that affects their ability to evolve is psychology and emotion, in a way that is a lot more universal than the handful of Pokemon where that's a mechanic. In that context, it makes a lot more sense that their evolutionary trees are all weird and full of dramatic changes, especially with how often they're bonded with kids and teenagers, whose emotions and personality profiles are still actively developing.
31:40 my theory about the Basilisk is that the snake lives longer because it has the lings, and maybe in difficult situations it has other structures to pump blood as the heart would. I'm not a biologist but I think it may be more difficult to oxygenate blood than pump it for backup mechanisms despite our societies focus on the heart.
OMG Zoologist i kneel, decent vid tho
Into the most Unknowable Dungeon???? Yo my guy have good taste wth??? So i guess you also know the author another work then eheehehehhe. Jokes aside its a really good manga with questionable premise but goof nontheless
I legitimately am not aware of the author's work asides from that, but i can kinda guess what kind of work it is based on your tone lol
If i recall correctly, Dragons are classified that way because they're considered disasters by their sheer presence. the nightmare's ability to completely f-up a group mentally may be the reason it is classified as such.
I'm confused why they didn't go with Dungeon Dining for the English title. I feel it would've worked better.
Now THIS is what I needed today. (Positively, looking forward to more of your content already)
artificial insemination for minotaurs definitely gonna be craaaaazy. I got a flashback about the first time I see a picture of artificial insemination on cows on my highschool textbook. like, oh my god that farmer's hand went so deep 😭
laios has a youtube channel now?
Considering what lives in yugioh,these are probably paleozoics that have evolved to deal with that
Amazing video!! When you talked about dragons, i thought, have you tried reading drifting dragons? It has alot of speculative zoology and its soooo sick!!! Please check it out i hope you like it..
