    The way that filter-feeders sometimes get so huge is amazing to me. It's like they turned hunting into a statistical exercise. A cheetah for example, either catches its prey or misses it entirely. 0% or 100% success. But a filter-feeder can catch anything between 0% and 100%. The cheetah eats like a king or not at all. A modest filter-feeder eats like a cobbler, but it does so every single day. Combine that with lots more food, and you're eating like a king every single day.

      @Dragrath1 4 роки тому +14

      Its a technicality but radiodonts were stem arthropods that diverged earlier forming two rows consisting of finlike flaps and finlike legs. True arthropods are defined by the fusing of the swimming flaps/fins with their legs to produce far more robust limbs at the cost of the ability to swim. So radiodonts while closely related to true arthropods represent a sister group to the true arthropods that adapted for life in the water column above the seafloor rather than living on the seafloor. So they definitely aren't crustaceans as those are a subgroup of arthropods.

  • @ethanhess8230
    @ethanhess8230 4 роки тому +12

    Being large like that also provides an advantage of being too big for most predators, so rather than spending energy on fleeing and requiring the ability to move quickly which would only be useful for a suspension feeder as an escape mechanism, they can just sit there and keep eating. This is also a huge part of why suspension feeders like basking sharks and baleen whales are often the largest members of their clades. Perhaps Aegirocassis became larger as part of an evolutionary arms race against a currently unknown (or maybe known) apex predator that evolved around the same time.

  • @agisuru
    @agisuru 4 роки тому +404

    "Why wouldn't these creatures just get larger over time?"
    Because they're arthropods. They likely had hemolymph instead of blood, which significantly impacts the size of the creature. It becomes extremely difficult for them to move if they're too big when compared to oxygen available in the environment, and iirc the oceans weren't particularly oxygen-rich at the time. A giant filter-feeder doesn't have to really do much more than float around, though, so it doesn't NEED to be capable of moving quickly, so that downside of hemolymph wouldn't really affect them as much.
    ...At least, I think that makes sense. Having typed this comment out, I feel like it's definitely grossly oversimplifying things, assuming it's correct. There are people who know more about this than me who'll correct me though, probably.

You don't actually need a paleontology degree, at least at bachelor/undergraduate level. Once you're at Master's/Ph.D level, you can choose to specialise into something closer to paleontology. But even for those post-bachelor degrees, many of them aren't paleontology, but rather "evolution", "evolutionary ecology", "systematics", "paleobiology"...

      With an earth sciences/geology or biology bachelor you can easily get into paleontology. Earth sciences with a focus on sedimentary geology, stratigraphy, biogeology and/or paleoceanography (there's a lot of overlap between those fields) would be ideal. In my earth sciences bachelor there were only two specific paleontology courses and that was perfectly fine. I'm a biogeologist/paleoceanographer, so I look at the ocean throughout geological history. During my studies I mostly looked at sedimentary rocks and microfossils, but now I mostly do modelling. I do know several people who did almost exactly the same bachelor as me that got into actual paleontology (like literally digging up a T-rex, haha).

    I actually breed copepods as a hobby. They are incredibly interesting. Most of them I have in breeding tanks but I set up a desktop pond with aquatic and regular plants. I decided to make it a complete ecosystem and added several different types of copepods
    If anyone remembers those "seamonkees" and similar kits? Breeding copepods is a great way to do that at home! It has so many cool yet manageable aspects.. its also easier to get items, more customizable, can double as a very unique centerpiece, and is a great way to teach children about ecostems.
    Happy to answer questions about it if anyone is interested :]
