    The answer to the extra credit question is… a pea plant! What type of scientific discovery would you want to be named after you?

    • @Adephonsus
      @Adephonsus Год назад +15

      I'd like to have a plant that can absorb all harmful pollutants named after me, cause my exes where so toxic, and I survived and thrived anyways.

    • @someoneelse4925
      @someoneelse4925 Год назад

      As cool as a scientific discovery would be, I'd rather have my name credited under as one of the leaders of an environmental movement to eradicate European Honey Bees from North America! They're so devastating to our ecosystem, who knows how much of North America's biodiversity has been lost to these pests!!

    I’m not a botanist and don’t know the actual names of most of the plants around my area, but I’ve found it useful when pulling weeds from the yard to call them by their characteristics - creeping sticky vine, prickly seeds, thorny vine, smelly root, etc. That’s more practical for my own use; if I were to hire a professional groundskeeper, then it might help to know their scientific names to communicate which plants I mean.
    Off-topic, I like how your butterfly hairpin flutters its wings when you move. :)

    12:49 _Mimosa_ _mexiae_ is a species of legume from the Fabaceae family (Kingdom: Plantae, Phylum: Magnoliophyta, Class: Magnoliopsida, Order: Fabales, Family: Fabaceae, Subfamily: Mimosoideae, Tribe: Mimoseae, Genus: Mimosa, Species: _M._ _mexiae_ ). But considering the "bathroom break" hint at the end, the intended answer was probably "bathroom plant".

    The 'they don't always fit into our human-made boxes' comment reminded me of a scene from Wall-E, which I recently re-watched, where Wall-E has picked up a plastic spork and is trying to figure out whether to put it in a container with plastic forks or plastic spoons. He ends up putting it down between the two boxes. That's the London plane tree, right there.

    I lived in San Blas, Nayarit in Mexico for a while and there are all sorts of mimosa there. They're some of my favorite plants. They even can learn when to close because of a dangerous stimuli vs. Not closing for a NOT dangerous one. They're fascinating!

  • @aaronpederson8685

    Dude! Thank you! I've been looking at it and saying that, if you go far enough back, we're all just cousins ever since my first budding frustration at my mother's overly complicated classification of how people were related to me at weddings, funerals and reunions. Well, my classification was that if you look old enough, you're a grand parent. If you're my parents age, uncle or aunt. My age, cousin. Anyway... glad to hear someone else seeing it that way as well. My brain went all Leo Pointing meme...

    12:05 I tried this definition of "species" on an AP Bio exam question and did not earn the point.

  • @FairMiles
    @FairMiles Год назад

    The species concept is both very useful and arbitrary, fuzzy and debatable; I think you show all that perfectly (in so few minutes).
    However, you made a bit more confusing by using "species" to explain problems with each definition. E.g., (9:58) when showing the limitations of the "biological" concept you say "some organisms produce offspring with OTHER species (so that breaks the concept)", which does not make sense: by that definition those organisms are within THE SAME species! (and also the derived interfertile offspring, called here "hybrid species").
