    21k views later and I'm ready to announce that yes, Pikmin Taxaonomy Part 2: Pikmin 4 (and other things) IS HAPPENING! In fact I'm working on it now and plan to release it before the end of the month. That being said, if you've seen the first video and want to suggest and specific changes or additions (about ANY creatures across ALL Pikmin game!) let me know here, or in my community tab! I'll be sure to keep a sharp eye on both!

    As a biologist (a zoologist more specifically), it makes me so happy seeing Pikmin give so many people an interest in biology and taxonomy! I'm making my own hypothetical cladogram of everything in Pikmin 4's piklopedia, glad I'm not the only one who likes using fictional taxonomy as a brain teaser.
    Personally I'd argue grub-dogs aren't vertebrates almost entirely due to the empress, since that kind of caste with one reproductive female (or few reproductives in general) isn't really a vertebrate thing. It seems that no other bulborbs have developed reproductive structures like an empress does, which to me feels particularly invertebrate. The hair on the hairy bulborbs could be hair-like structures like with real world tarantulas, and while they do give live birth the fact that they seem to have molts doesn't align with any vertebrate I know of. That said this is the distant future, so who knows! The complex eyes really do feel vertebrate so maybe their evolution just went down a line far more similar to modern invertebrates due to selective pressures.
    Thinking through everything like this reminds me why evolutionary biology is one of my favorite fields!

      And the name of their family is GRUBdog, so like they are meant to be insect like at least even if they fall far from the conventional arthropod appearance, like they look like vertebrates but function biologically as arthropods, there is the grub and dog aspect in it.

    I'm skeptical of placing so many species in Mammalia. The notes on the Bearded Amprat say, "It has several qualities unique to this ecosystem, such as breastfeeding its young, which may someday give rise to a whole new taxonomy of fauna here." This implies that it's the only true mammal encountered so far.

    I get the sense that the Piklopedia is NOT that accurate. It's pretty clear that the Bulborbs aren't terribly speciated. Larvae, Albino Dwarf, Russus and Empress are all the same species pretty clearly, with Russus (Red, Spotted Bulborb) male specimens capable of transforming into Empress Bulblax with the right conditions. This tidbit in the Pikmin 2 'pedia tells us a few things, like how Empress and Red Bulborb are the same species, and also that the scientific names provided do not fit actual taxonomy, with many bulborb and blax variations being subspecies, breeds, sexes or stages of life, rather than distinct species.

    Wonderful work, not only is the topic exciting and your choices well explained, but I also love the look of the cladogram itself. It somehow manages to feel like something I’d see in a pikmin game whilst remaining informative and easy to read.
    I do have one quick note I’d like to leave for this, as well as for most other Pikmin cladograms. People making their own pikmin phylogenies have a tendency to assume that all of Olimar’s observations are entirely accurate, except for when it’s convenient to deviate like with him labelling baby Empress Bulblax as a separate species. But both in and out of universe there is a large amount of room for error. Out of universe, I’m sure the team didn’t feel like taking a course on evolutionary biology to make sure that every entry for their children’s game made perfect sense.
    And in universe, Olimar had literally been to this planet for a minimum of a month as of writing the first entries of Pikmin two, with very little time to study the organisms and zero access to their internal anatomy or fossil records.
    Like Darwin, Olimar gave us a groundwork, but many of his classifications make little sense. Most obviously the fact that almost every organism has its own binomial name, even when he literally states in the same entry that they’re just juveniles of an already known species. He also literally changes his own classification of the breadbugs upon discovering that they’re mimics, and changes the scientific name of the Red Bulborb when other species are discovered.
    Its clear that he’s not infallible, so I don’t think it makes sense to take every classification he gives as fact. Like, the Fireflap Bulborb is almost certainly not in the same genus as the other Breadbugs, developing powered flight takes millions of years and that level of divergence would 100% seperate the Fireflap Bulborb into at least its own genus, if not its own family.
    Similarly for the Bulbeel having almost zero traits in common with the other members of the genus Oculus.
    This was an long and incredibly unnecessary rant, but I thought I’d share my one critique of this video.

    • @sharksuperiority9736
      @sharksuperiority9736 Рік тому +33

    I never understood why the Baldy Long Legs is a different species to the Shaggy one, as its just one that lost its hair as olimar puts it. Also, I think that the Man-at-legs might be more related to the Shaggy long legs, as they both open their central body horizontally unlike the beady and raging ones, ands simply just got taken over by machinery.

    Nice work! My only potential point of contesting would be that, I’m pretty sure the games attempt to indicate that the only mammalian species left (encountered so far) is the Bearded Amprat. It’s Piklopedia entry mentions how it’s interesting that it’s the only species that breastfeeds it’s young, and it treats this as unique. I think the Grub-dogs and Breadbugs are meant to be highly derived arthropods. If you didn’t want to go that route, you could maybe consider them some form of reptile, even.

      Yeah I was gonna say this too. Honestly the lore of pikmin is weird, especially given the house setting of pikmin 4. I wonder if there’s been some sort of extinction like event that’s wiped off most large animals? Maybe the amprat being the only mammalian creature is a reference towards how mammals evolved from the extinction of the dinosaurs? Food for thought

    26:36 Hemiptera is order of true bugs, including stinkbugs, cicadas, water bugs, assassin bugs, and pond skaters among others, while Diptera is the order of true flies. Based on the stabbing attacks of the Burrow-Nits, they might fit better into the Hemiptera, which typically possess piercing mouthparts, and have evolved protective measures to preserve their wings while burrowing.
    The mandiblards' names often including 'grub', the term used for beetle larvae, and their paired mandibles, might be more fitting of the Coleoptera. Furthermore, the sheargrub and especially the queen sheargrub have a glossy carapace covering their bodies, which is more commonly seen on beetles than on flies. Pikmin 4's Piklopedia entry for the Mama Sheargrub describes it as neotenous, implying that the grub-like form they are encountered in is not their adult form.

    Although considering the radiation, it isnt that much of a strech to suggest it got more legs from radiation exposure and somehow the extra legs helped it
    Other than that 1 nit pick the video is pretty on point, at first i also questioned about the Maestro Scronet since it had lepidopteran wings but the regular scronet it commands has wings which looked more like hymenopterans and had a stinger, which lepidopterans do not

    Though I personally don't think that the phosbat is a mammal. Nor do I believe the grubdogs are either. Like stated they don't have any similarities to mammals other than live birth and complex eyes. Aswell as only a select few of them having hair. They also look nothing like the bearded amprat, not even a little. Also, (imo) the fact that all grubdogs have only 2 limbs with no presence of a second pair, you'd think that at least one of them would retain all of their limbs. Or at least some remnants of them.
    It is my personal belief that grubdogs and the phosbat are either fish that have come to land. Or some kind of strange reptiles. There's also the possibility that they aren't even Vertebrates, as they could very well be some strange future invertebrates, as we know that Pikmin takes place in the future..
    It's also possible that I'm wrong about all of this and that grubdogs are just some strange mammals.

    I will say that the grub dogs should be less split up because it's obvious enough from text and gameplay that they are all VERY closely related and can all function together in a hive like strucuture! Not to mention I know 4 cam out after this but ALL bulborbs share the albino dwarf as their child or toddler variant as we see them walking arounf with regular borbs and whip borbs!

    idk bout splitting the man at legs so early just because its mechanical. seeing that there are multiple man at legs (minimum 3 canonically in different reigons) it could be a variant of the arachnorb group that learned to use manmade objects to their advantage like hermit crabs have done with seashells
    although you could still justify the early split ig cause its got spindly legs as opposed to the others stompers

    15:50 I don't know about this but I'm kinda thinking that Breadbugs similar to Bulborbs but they aren't related to the family species was presumably known as convergent evolution, an evolution that's somehow causing the structure of the species itself end up becoming similar to an other unrelated species

    Some advice for you: SONG VARIETY. I feel like Im losing it while watxhing this. Pikmin has plenty of calm music, you can just loop through like 4 songs edit: the song does switch, but 2 songs for a 20 minute video is not quite enough

    Personally I always thought that the grubdogs and breadbugs weren't even animals. I always thought they would make the most sense as a super-evolved sentient form of fungi, similar to how pikmin are sentient plants. Mainly just due to the mushroom like markings on bulborbs backs, but breadbugs growing out of bread would also track as far as fungi are concerned.

    Quick information update/addition for part 2/PIKMIN 4 PIKLOPEDIA SPOILER
    .
    .
    .
    The full-grown Armored Cannon Beetle is not in Pikmin 4, and may have never been seen. The creature in Pikmin 4 is actually a Horned Cannon Beetle, and Olimar's piklopedia entry states that it was mistaken to be an adult Armored Cannon Beetle and is non-native to the continent where the game takes place.
    This could mean two things (regardless of timeline shenanigans):
    1. The Armored Cannon Beetles in Pikmin 1 are, in fact, Armored Cannon Beetles. The Horned Cannon Beetles in Pikmin 4 are a different species that looks similar.
    2. The Armored Cannon Beetles in Pikmin 1 are actually Horned Cannon Beetles, meaning that no adult Armored Cannon Beetle has been observed in any Pikmin game.
    Keeping with the Granitus genus, the Arctic Cannon Beetle is potentially the only member to show both larval and adult forms in the games.

    Grouping Echindoterms with Chordata makes sense (although disputed) as they develop anus before mouths(Protostormia). Together with the Mollusks, Arthopods and a couple other phyla they form the clade for animals with bilateral symmentry during embryonic development which Cnidarians do not have. I think you did a Great job I just wanted to add in some more details, and comment for the algorithm.

    4:04 the question I suppose is if sex characteristics notate different taxonomy. It doesnt traditionally but in this case I guess it can. As well as the larval state apparently getting its own category... interesting...
    25:15 ok so not doing that for this but you did that for the grubdogs? Idk this is confusing for sure.
    I definitely would have done this differently, no slight on you of course, but i'd have taken any creature with any kind of similarity and assume they are more directly related than not in some way. For example i'd have some link from a shearwig to a snooping snitchbug. I just dont see how those could be unrelated.
