That’s a great way to put it

But do they feel pain?

​@@mosubekore78 Somewhat. Just not in the same way we do because they're invertebrates.

​@@mosubekore78well in humans its your brain choses if you have to feell pain.. then for sure they feell pain as they have brain for good and bad determining 😊

​@@ahmetmutlu348catepillars do not have pain receptors though?

Or the burger / hot dog summons a swarm of mosquitoes, the #1 predator of humans. And honestly, I'm not convinced that summer barbecues DON'T summon mosquitoes.

Would...would this work on other animals as well? Like humans?

Doesn't the plankton get the thing that ate them eaten by making the inside of their stomach glow? Since it presumably takes the wasp eggs time to hatch both of these "defenses" seem like elaborate "F You for eating me's"

​​@@sweypheonix the plankton glows when it detects a lot of motion. It doesn't stop individual plankton from being eaten but it reveals the location of it's predator to larger predators since their is usually a lot of it

@@tdubmorris5757 seems like the kind of thing we should co-opt for ourselves, what if glow sticks were kinetic instead of chemical. That'd be neat, but thank you for the clarification, so they're snitch plankton not revenge plankton

​@@sweypheonix It's still a chemical reaction in plankton. It's just that the activation method is different.

@@bluyu I see, it's like a clap on light versus a switch light, so a kinetic glow stick isn't possible or depending on the definition you could consider the glow sticks we have now to actually be kinetic. Well this is a sad day for the glow stick industry but I think they'll survive lol

Convenient and impossible. Outside force required. Explainable in any other way except macro evolution. Makes sense if you turn your brain off. It's the same scenario as with the explosive beatle, except that example is even more impossible.

​@@austingeorge6659you have to prove nature is capable of running simulations on a memory buffer to prove intelligent design. Otherwise these causation patterns all happen as a result of evolution. However, the current scientific framework behind evolution only considers the bottom-up causation patterns which by the way is also presupposed in the intelligent design theory. These are refered to as emergent patterns (bottom-up causations). But there is also a causation pattern that is top-down called emanation. And that causation pattern is invisible to the current framework of science. Intelligent design is trying to account for emanation but it goes into the supernatural/superstitious territory.

​@austingeorge6659 It absolutely makes sense, it's called cross signaling behavior and it actually happens very often. The underlying mechanism is that when the plants ancestot got injured, it initiated a response cascade, and one of the effects is that a chemical is released into the air. This may have been incidental at first, maybe the chemical had some anticlotting properties. Either way, the signal was intercepted by this particular wasps ancestors, which have chemoreceptors that can detect a wide range of chemicals, and it investigated the source and found food. The wasps that did this best were more likely to survive and reproduce, etc. Plants that released more of this signal when they were being eaten were more likely to survive and reproduce, etc. It's a mutually beneficial relationship that developed when a wasp that can detect millions of unique chemical cues honned in on a chemical cue that this plant was releasing when it was being eaten. It's favored, it's likely, and it's infinitely more plausible than a theory involving every life form being intelligently designed. Even if the latter point were possible, there are hundreds if not thousands of examples of evolutionary processes of the same caliber as this occurring in just the last few centuries that humans have been able to document and describe.

@@Spencergolde Yep, so many comments here calling it supernatural, it's crazy. Good explanation, thought something similar. There are many plausible explanations of how this might've developed, nothing too extraordinary in the grand scheme of things.

@@Spencergolde the one that boggles my mind are butterflies hat have eye spots (peacock butterflies) . How DF did evolution grant them that ability to scare off predators by mimicking of thier big eyes. Some types of evolution make more sense in my mind than others 😅. A friend told me it’s random mutation, but the eye spots looks way too convincing.

So that explains why I always see a pack of wolves soon after I mow my lawn: they're expecting to eat beef for supper. lol.

@@moonrock41 Nice one. You live in the middle of nowhere, where wolves would actually be close enough to smell it? Forget cows, forget wolves. There are plenty of other grazing animals like deer, gazel, bison etc. And there are tons of other predators out there that eat all of those things. No, a pack of wolves isn't gonna show up in your back yard, if you don't live in a place they'd actually hunt in. They're typically scared of humans. But yes, grass does emit a smell that attracts the predators of grazing animals.

@@moonrock41 You don't live near them, do you? There are grazing animals out there like deer, gazelle, bison, and predators that hunt those animals. Grass getting eaten, or cut, releases a certain smell that the predators of those animals pick up on. No, a pack of wolves isn't gonna come running into your back yard because you cut your grass, especially if you don't live near them. They're scared of humans and wouldn't see any of their normal prey nearby.

@@ZachTheInsaneOne Is such an identifiable odor necessary when predators can smell their prey directly or indirectly (by their urine and feces)?

@@moonrock41 Necessary, probably not, but it doesn't stop evolution from doing it anyways. Animals that have lived near humans for generations have probably evolved to ignore the smell of fresh cut grass cause we humans are weird and feel the need to control the environment. But predator animals in places you'd find tons of grazing animals and not many humans will still detect that smell because why wouldn't they? Some animals cover themselves with mud, some are good at hiding, smelling the grass is just another level of detection when seeking out prey. Just looked it up myself to make sure, it also lures in the predators of grass-eating insects. Birds, lizards, all kinds of things still associate the smell of fresh cut grass with food. Probably not near any major city, though. Evolution loves redundancy, the more ways for a predator to detect its prey, the better.

If there was anything mutually beneficial happening that crossroad before devolution wouldn't have been an issue.

It is more likely that the wasp learnt to associate the scent with presence of caterpillar. Same way we learnt to associate bakery smell with presence of bread.

Its probably both, wasp learnt that the smell means dinner, and the plants learnt that the smell helps it survive, so the plant learns to release more of the smell, and the wasps always go to the smell Ofcourse they dont actually learn and uts just instinct and evolution, but its easier to explain when giving them personalities

ALL OF THEM!!!

And that's why the caterpillar is not extinct yet 😅 they probably bite the biggest plant they can find

@@_Cervantez They might also have evolved strategies that prevent them getting parasitized or eaten, like camouflage or poisonous spikes.

Not exactly the same thing. It does communicate (via ethylene gas) to other trees to release tannins, but it doesn't communicate to other species. A lot of plants communicate to their own species. The acacia tree also enrages elephants (who dislike the taste of the tannins) and they will sometimes rip the tree up in response, which is funny.

Giraffes approach the trees from downwind so the pheromones do not reach the other acacias.

People in the native plant gardening community will tell you that a lot of other plants do this too; I do have plants in my yard deer were eating 2 years ago that they avoid now

Always have a lawyer on speed dial.

Idk, I would say that as the animals evolved, the wasps who's smell receptors recognized the Lima Bean smell as "oh hey theres caterpillars here" passed on their genes more effectively than the ones who couldn't. On the other hand, OP could be right. The bean plant itself could have passed on its genes more effectively when one individual began releasing a "hey theres caterpillars here" pheremone to attract parasitoid wasps.

@@crustaceanking3293 I’m thinking the wasps learned the behavior and it was passed down, it seems more far fetched that the plant could’ve picked the correct scent had it already existed

@@cracktact7676 Well a wasp doesn't have the neural capacity to "learn" anything, nor can a plant "pick" its defense mechanism. I'm saying that random chance mutations are a fact of evolution, and some of these mutations (such as the wasps recognizing the lima bean plant's alarm chemical as a food smell) are beneficial, which allows the mutation to be passed down and spread through generations. Memories are much harder to encode in DNA regardless, it takes many generations of repeated exposure for a memory to become an instinctual, encoded behavior.

@@crustaceanking3293 I’m aware, it’s just terminology to convey the generational change in behavior and genetics of the two species. All I meant way it seems more probably that the plant started to evolve a scent, and wasps started to notice the scent and a correlation between the scent being released when the plant was eaten led to eventually wasps knowing the scent meant caterpillars. The other scenario just seems far less likely, because why would there be a scent that means food to wasps and the plant would need to get very lucky or emit a variety of smells before the wasp would notice it. That, or a coincidence.

@@cracktact7676 well like i said, the wasp doesn't have the capacity to "learn" anything. The wasp is too simple to notice a correlation. All it knows in regards to this is "this smell means food," which is a very beneficial adaptation to have. As for why there would be a scent that means food for wasps.. It's just common sense?? I mean, if you were a wasp and you smelled the wasp equivalent of a big, juicy hamburger, would you go for it? Now also remember that you can not only snack on this hamburger, but use it to raise a wasp family. The point of this id that smelling your food was something that had been around long before the wasp and lima bean had even been concepts on the evolutionary drawing board. It just stands to reason that a wasp would be able to recognize some specific chemicals as food smells, especially if these chemicals were on or produced by their food.

Good question

I know some folks who were studying this! They were extracting caterpillar saliva and comparing the responses of plants that were merely nicked vs. nicked and then had the saliva applied. I don't happen to know the outcome of their research, but I can tell you that there are a *lot* of types of plants that have independently evolved to do this kind of thing, so it is almost certainly the case that some species require a chemical in the herbivore's saliva and some will respond to any injury.

Well I’d take that personally too if I were a plant. I’m getting eaten after all
