Evolution of Beetle Wings
Вставка

- Beetle forewings are modified into hardened structures called elytra. A recent study indicates that the evolution of elytra involved co-opting genes for exoskeleton formation into the wing development gene network of beetles.

That backpack shell was so damn cool
The shell is called an elytra! Pretty amazing
looks straight up scifi
It's a jetpack
He had an elytra in his inventory💀
the lil beetle with the backpack shell has a awesome jetpack
A war tank, with wings stored behind openable armor, and a sword or a pair of pincers for a face. Simply the best insect if not the best animal.
“You can’t be able to fly, dig, Andy have good armor all at once, you have to choose”
Beetles: nah, ima do my own thing
My house is loaded with beetles after a rain. It's like Ecuador came to me.
Petition to have it renamed to the jetpack beetle
Paratrooper
Paratrooper beetle
Kinda make sense to turn the top wings into elytra to complete the armor set
I believe that last insect is what inspired Invader Zim, if im not mistaken.
If there is a God, it sure loves beatles and crabs more than any other eukayote
coolest wings in the world
Nature: Perfects Backpack wings through millions of years of evolution
Humans: Thats soo cool. Can we do it?
Nature : I DARE YOU, ...I DOUBLE DARE YOU😏
LMAO we bring nature to his knees
@@ChopSquadBaby No ma'am. We are mere mortals, we can only get inspired...from what this Eternal Inventer already perfected. 😅
They don't evolve. They come fully formed
@@warrior_of_liberationYep it’s called God, he made all of the life, not a non sentient 0 consciousness “nature” or “evolution”
@@Datsmileyb0iare you serious?
I'd love to see that elytra open in slowmo.
The Rove Beetle's Elytra opening up reminds me alot of Iron Man's back opening up revealing thrusters.
That backpack shell beetle lives in the future
That armour is a levelar wing by shape.
You had me. I’m on my way to Ecuador!
Wow that's crazy
That little pink backpack he's wearing is actually a jetpack
Like how centipedes 'fangs' are actually legs
That thing looks like dragon fly
And they got for wing
apparently earwigs have wings. only used sparingly.
SO COOL!!
Insect wings are so cool
That's a Jetpack shell
I think beetles might be my favorite
Nature's little toys.
Beetles flying also applies psychological damage
That's not a backpack that's a jetpack
earwigs are also cool
Funny how the fossil forms haven't changed in millions of years.
BBAAMM!! Tell em Jon!! 🎉😂😌
And If it evolved once, could the shell wings have evolved convergently in another insect?
Yeah
Cool but scary 9nce these critters goes airplane mode on you!😂😂😂😂😅
Damn
Yes .evolution did that.evolution is an engineer
and hard wing make them float😂
Another reason the Beatles,, named themselves The Beatles 🎶
🔊People reading this! You can change shorts into video format, You change the link part /shorts/ to /watch/ or /v/
Thanks 👍🏻
id love to follow but nancy looks too troubled.
Why do you sound a lot like tale foundry
Their obvious wings aren't obvious to me.
*e a r w i g s*
🎉
Yes, they can fly.
@@danielbedrossian5986 I know, and their wings are beautiful, that’s why I love them so mych
Just wanna see Nancy
wouldnt it be funny if evolution wasnt real and everything is just created by god and we are just observing something and connecting dots that arent really there?😂
God really woke up one day and said "Fuck it. Buzz Lightyear bug."
FIRST
Ok, and?
@@IdioticSandwich it means i was the first comment. There is nothing more to this.
@@Hylianmonkeys and you couldn’t make it more meaningful? It’s really not that special to be the first commenter. Only at least somewhat if you’re the first viewer. You just had to be one of those people who waste the potential or just be downright cringe
@@IdioticSandwich who said leaving a "first" comment is special at all? Its just a silly comment.
What is this "potential" that I'm wasting??? Why do you think that my worth is determined by a youtube comment???
Bro Im a scientist, free indie game developer, husband, and even a programming teacher for kids. I couldn't possibly provide more for society.🤦♂️
please seek treatment, this isnt normal.
@@IdioticSandwich I was the first viewer dumbass
When you say one set of wings evolved to form armour are you saying natural selection acting upon random mutation changed the front wings to armour over time? If you are do you have any scientific evidence to support that many changes in the DNA are likely in the given time?
Do you have any evidence for your god besides a book multiple people(that are not God) wrote?
@@whyamicryingattheclubrn7867 why do you say “ your God” I’m not religious
@@houstandy1009 i apologize
Evilution what a joke
🤡🤓
Not at all. Your typo is though
Its a faith based proposition to trust that evolutionary theory will eventually explain unobserved phenomenon, like the formation of irreduciblely complex systems. If you can't demonstrate the formation of a complex system via evolutionary processes, then claiming that it will one day be described via evolution is unscientific "god of the gaps" wishful thinking based on a lack of data, aka, based on ignorance.
What the hell are you on about
Evolutionary theory, unlike creationism (A.K.A: “Intelligent Design”.) has made predictions that have come true, and has tremendous explanatory power in several fields of biology.
In essence, Evolutionary biology is one of the pillars of modern Biological sciences.
So you’re wrong, in simple terms.
Evolution is an essential part of all modern biology and we find evidence for it in pretty much every scientific field
The God of the Gaps Fallacy you mention literally says the opposite of what you claim. The idea that just because we don't know exactly how something happened , it must have been done by an omnipotent being intentionally.
Whoever told you you need to put up cognitive shields around you to prevent you from learning actual science did it to keep you ignorant and controllable. Spend more time looking at the contradictions and hypocrisy in your faith.
I don’t think you’re using those words correctly
I plan on going to Ecuador not for this reason tho but to spread the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ
You religious guys are too much
'Evolutionary' = PR0PAGANDA.
Ironically, you haven't actually studied evolution, you just listened to anti science propaganda that told you to hate evolution
*SILENCE CULTIST*
Silence creationist
You don’t even know what propaganda is, do you?
They is no macro evolution but creation.
Oh you poor baby
Typical Post and run theist
Womp womp
Are you serious?
Man your channel is amazing, I like your scientific transparency
