Who are the Ecogeeks?

All living things we know of are a part of the Earth's biodiversity, the diversity of life. The concept of biodiversity can be divided up in levels such as:

Ecosystems

Species

Genes (genetic diversity)

The video explains all these topics.

This species spotlight is about Amblypigids, Tailless whip scorpions. Tailless whip scorpions (often called whip spiders), are scientifically referred to as amblypigids because they belong to the order Amblypigi.

Amblypygids are arachnids. Spiders, scorpions, mites, daddy longlegs and other less well-known groups are their closest living relatives.

This special ecogeeks video is the first of our "crew-bio videos". Over the next few months we will intersperse these videos into our regular educational video lineup. We feel that each of our crew is an important mix to our large team of dedicated young scientist-filmmakers and we want you to know who they are.

The alpine tundra is the second video we have done on world biomes. We have highlighted the most important 20 biomes in both aquatic and biotic environments. Stay tuned as we explore a different one each episode.
