437. Food to sustain biological communities on deep ocean floor is scarce.

In that one single piece of ice, you have 300 species of microorganisms.

remainder classified as near threatened.

The seabed covers some 71 per cent of world's surface.

That's a unicellular organism ubiquitous in the oceans.

That was in the interests of the species tens of thousands of years ago.

The first goal we share with every other living thing on this planet, which is to survive. I call it perpetuation the survival of the species and survival of ourselves, because they're both about perpetuating the genome.

Whale bones observed on the deep ocean floor were fed on by 178 species while the most fertile known hydrothermal vent field supports 121 species and a single hydrocarbon seep might support 36 species at most.

Even a small warming of the Southern Ocean seems likely to initiate major changes in species survival.

We are one species of about five and a half thousand mammalian species that exist on planet Earth today.

We were taking their biomass, storing them in the basement, growing plants, going around, around, around, trying to take all of that carbon out of the atmosphere.

All the genetic information for future generations of plants are held in seeds.

Okay. We are actually the first species on Earth to be so prolific to actually threaten our own survival.

What happens is that the corals are a symbiosis, and they have these little algal cells that live inside them.

This is a song about a creature called a hummingbird moth which imitates another creature which imitates yet another creature.

Catastrophic events capable of jeopardizing the survival of living species have a rate of recurrence of tens to hundreds of millions of years.

How could 85 percent survive on 15 percent?

Their bodies were now hosts... harboring an alien form of life, a cosmic form... which, to survive, must take over every human man.

BL The white material is a type of bacteria that thrives at 180 degrees C.

Now, the difficult problem for any theory of biological design is to explain the massive statistical improbability of living things.

Ten percent of all plant species on the planet, 24,000 species are safe 30,000 species, if we get the funding, by next year.

Something else is, because if that doesn't survive, we are not here there are no mammals. It's that close one species ekes through.

And so, there's a game of predator prey that's going to be, essentially, universal, really, in any kind of biological system.

There's stromatolites down there the first living things to capture photosynthesis and it's the only place they still occur today.

In ecosystems, the waste from one organism becomes the nutrient for something else in that system.

It concerns the existence of every last creature on Earth.

In particular, section 8 of the Crimes (Biological Weapons) Act places a restriction on the development, production, stockpiling, acquisition or retention of certain biological agents and toxins and biological weapons.
