Awesome parasitic copepod on this macrourid. Something like Sphyriidae or Pennelidae maybe? Iirc those white strings are the eggs? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 565 part 2 #GalapagosVents #MarineLife

Transcriptomic Adjustment to Decreasing Oxygen Reveals Novel Functional Strategies for Extreme Hypoxia Tolerance in the Copepod Tigriopus californicus Abstract. Hypoxia-induced regulatory changes are well understood across aquatic and terrestrial systems. These changes are normally initiated by elements b

Powers & Barreto captured gene expression over a species-typical course of hypoxia in an intertidal copepod, identifying genes with known responses to hypoxia, including genes with interactions with HIF-α in other systems.

Molecular consequences of mitochondrial replacement may be masked from organismal traits in Tigriopus californicus Mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) presents a promising preventative measure to combat mitochondrial diseases. However, the long-term consequences of disrupting mitonuclear coevolution at both th...

A new study in @plosone.org reports that molecular-level consequences of mitochondrial replacement in the copepod Tigriopus californicus are detectable but may not translate into clear organismal-trait differences.

A yellow nudibranch see slug with dark purple spots. The spots have a white border around them. The slugs' mantle is has a purple edge. In the gills of the slug you can see some purple parasitic copepod eggs sticking out.

Two for one invertebrates for #InverteFest. Here is the nudibranch Hypselodoris tryoni, in Komodo Indonesia, where you can see the purple eggs of a parasitic copepod sticking out from the slug's gill pocket.
