So we know that in a lab setting at higher temperatures, insects reach

maturity sooner -- resulting in smaller adult body size. And given that global

temperatures have increased over the past century we were curious whether we

see similar trends in nature.

As a part of our insect ecology class we measured

body size of beetles to see if they have changed over time.

We measured 6,500 beetles across eight species from the Beaty Biodiversity

Museum collection.

And we photographed each box with a ruler next to it for

scale. We measured the body size using a computer software and we noted when and

where they were collected. All this information was analyzed with climate

data using statistics.

The largest species of beetles have shrunk about 20 per cent

over the last 45 years. When we added the climate data to our analysis we realized

that the warming temperatures have contributed to the shrinkage of beetle

body sizes.

Beetles are one of the most widespread and diverse groups of animals

on earth. They're found in almost all ecosystems and they play very important

roles -- for instance in pest control -- so now that we know that beetles are

shrinking we need to do more research to determine the effect of shrinking

beetles in nature and if other organisms are shrinking as well.

DUMBEST THINGS WE'VE FOUGHT OVER #2 | Dolan True Stories - Duration: 9:20.

From fighting over Transformer insurance to an argument about toilet paper, the Planet

Dolan crew re-enacts some of the best true stories from our subreddit about the dumbest

things people ever witnessed a fight about.

I'm Nixxiom, and today I'll be your narrator.

Number 10 was Submitted by TwelfthHawk2718 Dolan

Once on a bus ride, Dolan was sitting in between his two best friends.

Dolan jokingly had a theory that they might be aliens, so he asked them questions that

only the real people would know.

They actually took it seriously, and started fighting about who Dolan had ASKED MORE QUESTIONS

TO!

They managed to squeeze half an hour of fighting in about this, and then refused to talk to

each other for the next two days.

Number 9 was Submitted by the_master_gamer123 Ursa

One day at a Wal-Mart, Ursa saw a man and a woman arguing with each other.

The woman was screaming things like, "I always get this kind!" and "why don't

you go kill yourself?"

She poked her head around the corner and saw what they were fighting over, and had to walk

away because she started laughing so hard.

The woman was fighting with the guy over a 12 pack of toilet paper.

Eventually, employees had to kick her out of the store and they said she was banned

from ever going there again.

Number 8 was Submitted by BrokenTusk922 JamesShark JamesShark was hanging out with his friends

Legna and Slapped Ham one day, and they were playing Connect 4.

Legna used a really sneaky move and Slapped Ham called him out on it, but Legna went on

to use the same sneaky move in the next four games.

All of a sudden Slapped Ham stood up, threw the game across the room, and punched Legna

in the face.

JamesShark just scooted back and watched the fight happen.

Soon, Slapped Ham's mom came to break them up and ended up getting punched as well.

For 2 straight minutes it was silent as they all thought about how a bunch of 16-year-olds

were fighting over Connect 4.

JamesShark came out unscathed from the fight, but then his friends beat him up the next

week for abandoning them to the wrath of Slapped Ham's mom.

Number 7 was Submitted by GamblingShroud Zaraganba Zaraganba was in 8th grade study hall when

a loud commotion burst into his classroom.

A circle of people formed around 2 kids.

One of the kids was holding 2 erasers and he started yelling, "WHICH DAMN ERASER IS

MINE?!

WHICH ONE?!"

The other kid then yells, "I DONT KNOW ASSHOLE!"

Then, they started punching and kicking each other.

The teacher broke up the fight and both were suspended for 3 weeks.

Zaraganba still laughs every time he thinks about it.

Number 6 was Submitted by relic1962 Grgak Back in the 90s, Grgak was an associate working

at a local department store.

Russ Trolls were all the rage for some reason, and the store was advertising them for $14.99.

There was also a knockoff brand by another company for $12.99.

It didn't take long for a customer to get into an argument with the department manager

because he SWORE the Russ Trolls were $12.99, and he DEMANDED he be sold one at $12.99.

Soon into the argument his wife stormed over to the manager and claimed she saw the TV

ad showing the Russ Trolls at $12.99.

A crowd gathered, and soon there were nearly 20 grown adults, ALL yelling and demanding

the Russ Trolls for $12.99.

They actually ran down the doll aisle to grab them before the head of security told the

crowd that he would take their names and phone numbers and give them a call once everything

was "sorted out".

He offered to show them our copy of the ad (both TV and print) and a person yelled "I

don't NEED to see that!

I KNOW what I saw!".

All this to save TWO DOLLARS on a Russ Troll.

Number 5 was Submitted by The_Real_Bepis_Man Pringle

Pringle got himself into a conversation about whether Transformers would have life insurance

or car insurance.

Pringle decided it would probably be both.

But two burly guys were arguing about it, and it escalated into a fistfight.

Pringle tried to break it up, but one of the guys went a little too rough and Pringle left

school that day with a black eye.

Number 4 was Submitted by ShogunAssassin_Alice Melissa

Melissa went with her mom to do some food shopping for Thanksgiving at Walmart, and

as usual the place was packed.

They were just about done and looking for dinner rolls when they heard shouting.

What they saw was two women fighting over a Patti LaBelle sweet potato pie!

One woman had her hands on the top and bottom of the pie box and the other woman had her

hands on the sides.

Both of them were shouting like their lives depended on this ONE pie.

Finally, the women were asked to leave for disrupting other shoppers.

Number 3 was Submitted by soulknight5 Ladybot Ladybot's sister was making a sandwich one

day, and she put 4 pieces of ham on it.

Her mom and dad were also in the kitchen and they were sitting right next to Ladybot's

sister watching her make the sandwich.

Ladybot's mom got mad and started yelling that she put too many pieces of ham on the

sandwich.

Then her dad got mad and started yelling at her mom about yelling for no reason.

Ladybot leaned over to her other sister and said, "it's kinda weird that they're fighting

about a sandwich."

The fight went on for a bit but after a few minutes Ladybot just walked away, and could

still hear them yelling from down the hall.

Number 2 was Submitted by CoocoPearlGAY Tolop Tolop and Spincess were walking around school

at break time when and they heard 2 girls screaming at each other and fighting.

Tolop and Spincess rushed over to stop it, but the girls punched them, so they got a

teacher to stop the fight.

The four of them were sent to the principal's office where they were asked why they were

fighting.

Tolop and Spincess said they were trying to stop the fight.

The other girls said they were fighting over what's better between chocolate or strawberry.

A few days later, the same two girls fought AGAIN over apples and bananas.

Number 1 – What's the dumbest thing I've ever seen someone fight about?
