    Greetings! I'm the producer of this episode of Deep Look. I wish we could have brought it to you in smell-o-vision. The stink of the infested tree filled a whole city block, and got all over my shirt. Leave us your questions and comments! And visit Anna at Gross Science, too. -Elliott

      Deep Look Do you know how these bugs benefit the ecosystem? They seem like nothing more than pests.

      I think that's similar to what advanced technology will let species do to entire planets. Using long-range models to deliver seeds to habitable zones across vast distances to install voracious and fecund young. Producing countless hazardous byproducts in the process, all to eventually repeat the cycle by spreading to new satellite systems. Like a malarial outbreak or the golden ratio, the pattern repeats itself endlessly in nature.
      And Gross Science is an amazing channel, I love the stuff they have on their.

      irneen Well, I mean, they don't *mean* to ruin palm trees. They just follow their instinct. That's like saying all cheeta's deserve to be treated like that because they are eating *innocent impala's*. They just do what they have to do in order to survive, and I think no animal is to blame for that.

      Wut Wut They're not a harm to the ecosystem. First of all, if those insects would be a real threat all palm trees would have been long gone, cuz these little guys have been around for much longer than anyone reading these comments has. Nature is constantly balancing itself out. Second of all, palm trees aren't even originally part of the ecosystem in this video, because as stated, they were imported from Africa. So it's no surprise that they don't do well here, because they're being put in an ecosystem that's not balanced around palm trees.

    I’m a licensed pest control technician, and there are actually a lot of beetles that do this. I live in southern Arizona and we at our company have a “tree service”, where every six months we treat the soil around the tree, it’s called dredging the roots. The tree will absorb the pesticides into its root system and the pesticides will get evenly distributed throughout the entire tree. Any beetle that attempts to burrow or lay eggs into the tree dies, and any eggs or larvae die. It does not harm the tree at all, and usually about 3 months after treatment the tree begins to regain its health!
    Poison is so cool sometimes.

  • @dhindaravrel8712
    @dhindaravrel8712 6 років тому +85

    It often happens with plant species. They're introduced to a new habitat where the common parasites that rely on that species don't exist. Thus, they flourish and often grow faster or bigger than in their native habitats because the plants that don't invest in defences outcompete those which do. Then, eventually, the parasite gets introduced as well and the non-native plant species has de-evolved its natural defences. So while the infestation can be held in check in its native lands, the plants in the new habitat are completely wiped out - sometimes with a few survivors which haven't lost their resistance. If the parasite doesn't also go after native plant life, both species will disappear after a while, removing one human influence on the ecosystem.

      The Red Salamander They're not technically imported; Canary Palms have been grown in California for decades. And while Cal native landscaping and xeriscaping with desert plants (succulents, etc) has become all the rage for reasons of water conservation, I don't think there'll be much of a drop-off in exotic palm use because they're something of a trademark of the region. The Disneyland resort area alone is planted with hundreds of exotic date palms which seem to thrive. The Canary Palm's aesthetic is highly-desired and I suspect this new pest just means more money will be invested in fighting the pest rather than simply abandoning the Canary Palm for landscaping.
