This is one of those channels where we will get to say "I was there before it blew up". This channel is going to be big.
only if he makes his videos an agonizing 10 minutes long, as required by the youtube gulag
agreed!
@@BronzeOrwin "UA-cam Gulag" LMAO I've never heard it referenced that way
I can't believe it still hasn't blown up
I'm so glad that science exists outside of politics and the craze of the world. It reminds me of getting lost in science in the way I did as a child. Thank you all so much for all you and your colleagues do!
The world needs more of this. Thanks for the time and effort you put into making these videos and for highlighting the amazing research of others.
I remember Bronwyn from her time in Alberta-- Hi Bronwyn! Glad to see you are still working on crayfish. I still use some of the photos you gave me for my wildlife class.
I love this so much!! Dr. Bronwyn Williams is fantastic. Hope to see more of them!!!
I'm getting really emotional @ the end, those beautiful lil' crusty friends!!!
awesome! this was fun to make, so i'm definitely going to try to do more!
I love visiting specimen rooms. They're like a twisted death-filed cross between grocery store shelves and a reference library. Love them to pieces. Dr. Williams is so cool and seems really kind and her field is so interesting - Animal-based 'ecosystems' themselves are fascinating and understanding what populations are actually present where is soooo important for conservation. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels since I found the slow-mo insects. When I get a chance I want to go back and watch the long-form interviews you've done with professors. Keep em coming and thank you for giving us a peek into your world! - Biologist hopeful from TX with too many interests
As someone who used to catch Crayfish (or "Crawdads", as so many called them) in southern WV streams as a child, this segment was one that really pushed the nostalgia-buttons. Thank you for featuring these fascinating arthropods, and the hard work of Dr. Williams!
Yes! Thank you for sharing this on YT. It scratched an itch I'd forgotten was there! Brain Scoop used to do mini docs with museum and labs, I've missed them.
me too, fam
Let's meet the biologists! There is an endless world of interesting biodiversity out there😁🏆
Absolutely, please produce more video profiles like this one!!!
I am a university student from Argentina, just a year ago I started my Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences and the whole world of arthropods is extremely attractive to me. For me, as a novice student, these videos are a "holy grail" to get to know the field and laboratory work of professionals. Thank you very much for the great content.
I LOVE THIS
Like you said, the hyper-focused and deep knowledge of experts is always fascinating to see. And showing off the cool stuff in NC is always a plus :)
I love this content! Been subbed for years and this is my favorite type of vid alongside the insect flight!
That’s very interesting, would like to see more of that, particularly in Florida
i do love this type of content. mostly because i havent seen it anywhere else. its nice to have you making it
I’m glad you are branching out a little. I do actually appreciate seeing what yo ur colleagues do. It’s fascinating and I hope you keep doing it :)
Her face when she caught it was wonderful :)
I just discovered this channel. It is wonderful! I really appreciate all of your efforts.
please tell her that i think she is so cool. genuinely inspiring
Would love to see more of these videos on what your colleagues are doing! I didn't know there were so many species, and that's just in NC!!
I love it, love it, pure, simple, truthful, direct, amazing guys and information, revives the curious amazed child in me.
Love this!! Def want more
Thats very interesting and I'd love to see more storys! Please keep them coming!
I love this kind of content, do keep em coming please 🤗
Very interesting! More more!!
Nice to finally find out about these things, growing up my familys back yard would flood often and it was FULL of these chimney burrows constantly throughout the year, but I would only rarely see these mudbugs out in our yard.
I'd love to see more videos like this, they're so neat!
Thanks Adrian, this was awesome.
Yes yes yes please more of this!
All invertebrates are interesting to me... Thanks for this video!
I like this series I think you should keep it up!
Yeah! Let's see more.
That museum was amazing
Make more videos like this. The world must know!
this is sick man. i love learning about all sorts of animals
Keep up the great content. This was pretty cool
Amazing! If anything, too short a video. Please feature more of your colleagues on the channel, the more the merrier!
I always thought crayfish lived in the water. So neat to learn this.
I spent hours this summer watching the crayfish in the stream next to my house. They hid in leaf litter underwater, but once you know what to look for you can see the leaves moving in a certain way and you know they're in there
Oh, and there was also the remains of raccoon meals (both in pieces and in scat)
Great video. Love this format!
Cool crab, mate! Here where I live there are only 3 crayfish species and 2 of them are from north america. I didn't know that crayfishes could dig that deep. Thanks for sharing!
in the field, shoulder deep in the mud, digging for bugs.... dream job
Love this type of content - super interesting, thanks for sharing!
This was great! More video like this would be awesome
Excellent work...
incredible channel. This is science. Extremely interesting.
Makes me want to persue further education in this field! One of my assignments for college was to put together a specimen collection of aquatic invertebrates, and one of my favorite specimens is a nice big crayfish. Really should plop it under a microscope again sometime.
More please 👏 👏 👏
Thats great, more pls
Huh. Fascinating!
Yes yes keep it up, I don't care what your content is about but if you find it interesting enough to make a video about I trust that I will like it enough to watch it!
+
Yes! We like this kind of content!
Fascinating content!
Well done sir.😁
I saw a crayfish walking across the road a few weeks ago. We had a a huge amount of rain for a few days
So much work just to get them out! Sweet video
Thank you.❤️
Yes!! More Crayfish Content™ Please
I appreciate these videos, and I'd love to see more!
As a New Orleanian, I'm interested in crawfish because they're delicious
Great story!
Cool gal. Love the start of the video.
I wonder if in crayfish lore she's known as The Collector. And parent crayfish tell stories about how her comes out of nowhere and digs up misbehaving little crayfishs.
Loved thsi insight
I was a bit of a crayfish nut as a kid. We'd keep them in our fish tank, and slowly lose them to their suicide attempts as they'd find ways of crawling out at night.
I'd imagine that you can't depend merely on the physical characteristics to determine species. Within a species, there could be much variation. You'd have to look at behaviour and habitat to make a certain determination, wouldn't you?
More!!!!
I like this type of content.
more of this plz
Love this!
It's great content I would love too see more as long as you're stories doesn't come short :D
No joke, you can catch them easy with string and bolognese ☺️ We used too when we were kids
I've seen mud chimneys like that in the low muddy field behind my house. Is it always these burrowing crayfish that make them?
Great episode! What lens did you use for the to camera?
Fantastic video! I love stories where scientists describe their work. Here 'cos Emily Graslie linked your video.
Please make more videos about crustaceans!
Would love to know what kind are in my pastures. I have tons of them. I live in Newton Nc.
love this : )
What if (like the dinosaurs) the different “species” are really some of the same, but at different ages? What are the determining factors that decide they aren’t?
I think yes, a particular species could exist at the same time as a descended species like you describe, but it would be much more common that the two species you would compare that exist today would be descended from the same species, with one just being more similar to the original.
There are different things that determine a species. One feature that is used to determine species is sexual isolation, in which a species can produce offspring with the same species, but not another. Nowadays, genetics play a larger role. How species are defined has a long and debated history.
Would love for you to come look at my blue crayfish here in the piedmont of nc
This is science kids. Sticking your hands in a muddy holes in the wilderness to grab a crustacean to be able to say. Yes, you are a different species little buddy. SCIENCE!
Edit: I actually really enjoyed this would love long form pieces on them even. Like what differentiates one crayfish species from another? There must certainly be many layers from physiology to genetics to their types of actions (like how they build nests).
Oh, I hope your storage area never experiences any seismic activity. That would be a mess to clean up! 😬
i'd absolutely *love* to have a profession revolving around freshwater crustaceans but i have no clue where to start
Wow, that should be a lot of hard work!!
Thank you for sharing this informative video~🤗
for me it`s minblowing, i had never even heard before about crayfishes that lives underground!
we call those coffin cutters
👍👍👍
It’s important that we care for and keep these. Puts it in a jar and kills it.
Thought the thumbnail says MUDRUGS lol
Her cap reminded me of ash.
They call them crayfish or crawdad but they could have easily called them Clawfish or Clawdad, which sounds cooler and is more descriptive imo
Your research colleague has a crackin caboooos! She single?
No mention of dna sequencing for classification??? Too expensive for just some crayfish I guess
I would give anything to have this job but for insects l
It's just a matter of time until crayfish undergo carcinization and the almighty CRAB GODS RULE SUPREME HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAHAAAHAAHAHAHAAA
Almost not fake. That dead crayfish came from a completely different place. @0.57 sick how she flicks the tail with her finger while holding the legs straight with the other hand.
I cant help myself, i just feel bad for the crayfish that are dug out of their homes and then put in ethanyl
Jesus is coming soon repent and turn from your sins tomorrow isn't promised dont wait. I love u all may God bless everyone who reads this❤🥰
Bacon ! Tie raw bacon on string/line and dangle ! I used this method 50 years ago works like a charm!

Crawfish *
Anyone else think she is saying feces when she says species?
But the crayfish is going to be ok, right ? 🥺
If by okay you mean preserved forever in alcohol, then yes! 👍🏻
