Make a big one, put urself in it

@@cameronbelanger2525 I’m not a shark idiot

Don’t be stupid! A shark would probably shift the natural balance that has evolved in this Jar. I think if anything should be added to the Jar it must be something simple like a dog or maybe even a hippopotimus as they would at least strugle a litle bit to eat all those small microorganisms.

​@Uga Boga how about two sharks?

@@ugaboga9829 how is a hippo simple? They're very territorial and will most likey kill on sight of anything within their territory i.e the jar. A cat is a better choice than a hippo, not only because they can build dams, but also because they mainly feed on micro organisms like krills and plankton.

Technology Connections had the exact same line like a few weeks ago! Got me both times I heard it. Great delivery.

@@Broken_robot1986 Steve Mould also used it a few days ago.

Yeah, I noticed that, is it becoming a meme?!

I dont get it

​@@Broken_robot1986can u explain to me this joke

Its kind of like the movie alien

Dragonfly and lady bugs are like that. Cannibalistic horrors in water.

I'm expecting they're entering the stone age, since isolation could make the evolution process faster

It's going to be epic. There should be human life in there by then

@@Last_Chance. lol

And they're going to be in the middle of a World Jar War. Trench warfare style, gas, and everything.

The ostracods would have a full on advanced civilization

Woow really ? Soo quick 😮

Actually it's more likely that the plants that died decreased the PH of the water too much for anything to survive. Although the nymph probably didn't help 😂

@@ThePixelPear How would one go about stopping the decrease in PH of water as a result of plants dying?

@@jasonespinoza6372 Carbonate rocks, maybe

This is a good point. Another possibility occurs to me. The video mentioned how over times biodiversity seems to decrease across all of his closed ecospheres. It could be that certain elements of ecological cycles are missing - fungi, animals, or plants. Whereas in nature everything gets recycled, it is possible that in the jars, over time more and more nutrients get locked up in some configuration. Hence, putting an initially really diverse ecosystem in the jar may have hastened the locking up of these nutrients. Understanding the natural ecological relationships outside of the jars might help to replicate them inside and lead to longer lasting closed ecosystems. Adding or removing a few specific species might be enough to keep them going much longer.

The Great Filter

I think this must be the explanation. Some species can just endure more change. The really interesting question then is why are they so? How did they evolve to have that attribute? Maybe they are oldest? Maybe they are sort of first colonizers, like lichen and moss.

The video maker also@@marcseldin130 was surprised that biodiversity never increased. That would be at least statistically impossible. For that evolution would have to create a new species in the jar :p.

Its like a some window in another universe ! ⚗️💚

​@@mrybird4044 poor salt into them and then piss in the jar.

😐

Hyyyypeeed

aint no love in ur life lil bro

It's less so about equipment, but more about patience! Good luck

You only need your Smartphone! You can cut the Video with inshot😁

Smart phone cameras are amazing these days. Just play around with some lights to cut the glare. We'd all be chuffed to see it I'm sure. Just comment back here and I know I'll check it out.

We’ll as the other comments were saying a simple smartphone will definitely get the job done you should do it!

Yeah that's quite a challenge

And then put on a convention to show them all off.

Yes thats a good idea !!

I'd love to see this as well... or maybe from a more southern part of Europe like Spain or Italy.

@@LifeinJars train

Thank you very much

@@LifeinJarshey after you removed the dragonfly larva why didn’t you add the old diversity in the beginning?

NASA experimented with these for that exact purpose

Yes and we need to bring them to another planet. Maybe we are the species wich send life to different planets ! ⚗️👽💚

Do not do- i did this and ended up frying my whole ecosystem…i had a massive tubeffects (??idk how to spell it but rhe wiggle worms) population outburst the day before and was forced to move them outside for other none related reasons. The sun magnified in the jar and cook it

No, unfortunately it would still lose temperature. Perhaps if you included a power source and heater.

@@pattondurio yes i think Power is not a problem in space 😁👌

Thanks for watching for all these years!

It's impossible to increase the biodiversity (number of living species) after the jar is sealed

@@Thematic2177 not really, it just takes a really long time

It's tempting though....

😅

I don´t think it is a matter of nutrient availability, but rather the accumulation of +/- toxic waste molecules from rotting biomass. Lack of oxygen kills animals as well as plants. Ostracodes might survive some times with low concentrations as eggs. Nitrates/ammonia might be a cause and while the aforementioned things can´t easily be measured, what can easily be measured is the pH. It might have changed to a level that only ostracodes survive longterm?

Nice, I hope you enjoy it

@@LifeinJars My one Ecosphere right now is an Land Ecosphere and I’m planning to make a water ecosphere. Should I use water from a lake or water from a river or from my Grandma’s pond?

Great to hear!

Yeah could be!

Yes its so much fun and if it works also so easy. Just wait and watch 😁

You are so WRONG everything you typed is complete BS! (sorry about the wording, but its true) You obviously have never read anything explaining how it actually works, so seriously PLEASE do NOT spread the misinformation you think to be true: "only the strongest survive"! is WRONG! Firstly correctly if has to say "the FITTEST" survive. A species does NOT have to be strong to be fit in the evolutionary sense! "Fit" means that over many generations, a species has more offspring than the competition, which can fall victim to the accumulation of events from famine, to natural disasters, predation and illnesses etc. Secondly "disturbance is what maintains bio-diversity" is also COMPLETELY WRONG and BS! Just THINK: the most species diverse ecosystems are NOT DISTURBED e.g. tropic rain forests, regularly disturbed ecosystem are the LEAST DIVERSE! WHY would you believe otherwise, who propagates such nonsense? What you seem to misinterprete here is that, yes, on the alpha-diversity scale, with regards to ONLY a short time period in small localized area, more species can occure after a disturbance. BUT ONLY if there is undisturbed habitat around. ONLY THEN pioneer and climax species occur at the same place at a seemingly higher diversity. BUT many specialized species will have LOST their habitat and will die out if the disturbance occurs regularly.

​@@chevelleSS427 Why not keep quiet if you have nothing to say? Completely useless, with no ounce of information whatsoever. People like you are the reason why the climate and and nature gets destroyed at ever faster rates regardless of decades of warnings and hundreds of years of modern science! You must the pride of the human race...

@@gshaindrich Apologies for using the incorrect terminology, I wasn't exactly expecting my rather throw away comment to be analysed to such a degree. I do agree however I should have used the term fit not strong and for that I do apologize. Other than that I have to inform you that rainforests do suffer from disturbance; tree falls, storms, floods and landslides. You'll find disturbance is everywhere in both diverse and non diverse environments, you just have to look closely. Whilst you'd certainly be correct in calling me out on saying disturbance is what drives biodiversity, I think you'll find that it does indeed play a large role in maintaining it within productive environments. I understand that my comment may have been taken the wrong way and for that I do apologize, I wasn't trying to insinuate that an increase in disturbance frequency or severity (to a degree above what is deemed the norm) will in turn increase diversity for that is obviously not true. But in many environments without disturbance of some form, dominance by competitive taxon is eventually reached causing a decrease in diversity. Potentially more so in plant communities I'll admit. I've attached a few papers below to show I'm not simply making this up, I wouldn't say something if I wasn't sure of it's validity. That said I'm open to being shown otherwise. Note the third paper I reference points towards the temporality and severity of disturbances and the environments they occur in being strongly linked to their effect on diversity. As with many things in nature no one answer fits all, so I appreciate that your comment is also correct in its own right when applied to certain situations.

​@@gshaindrich☝️🤓

@@aaronohara34 "Other than that I have to inform you that rainforests do suffer from disturbance; tree falls, storms, floods and landslides." - BUT how do these disturbances affect the biodiversity? AND what is a "disturbance" and what is an essential natural process without which a local ecosystem would not function in the long run? e.g. "tree falls" Same goes for floods. If the local biodiversity has adapted to the flood because it is occurring regularly and predictably, THEN it has STOPPED being a "disturbance", while the lack of flooding will be! Same goes for fires etc.! I am familiar with the so called "intermediate disturbance hypotheses", but again what is a "disturbance"? and where do the additional species come from that make a disturbed area more diverse? What is necessary to maintain the dynamic equilibrium? It is a question of scale, intensity and frequency... I just don´t think we can, but we certainly shouldn´t dogmatically state that disturbance is ~good. .

To be more precise, this is a Chara spec., most probably Chara vulgaris (in dutch: gewoon kransblad).

Yeah!

Dealing with only in the sense of observation since there's no interaction between inside and outside And if they completely die, you dispose of them but usually they're just sat around Came from nature, goes back in it right

No.

Correct

Definitely wait to see if there are dragon fly nymphs before adding shrimp. They are voracious and will eat all the babies and juveniles 😢 had a strong colony of cherry shrimp, and didn't quarantine my plants... one got in and I had no idea why my shrimp were disappearing until it was too late!

@@missssmarie1763 well so far is full of everthing, ill let it go till it finds a Balence then ill add some shrimp.
