8/8 Work led by #YanZhang @UZH @eawag.bsky.social , with many co-authors and data contributors across 40+ institutions. @mattleray.bsky.social @merinrejichacko.bsky.social @leeselab.bsky.social @wslresearch.bsky.social @loicpellissier.bsky.social & many more 🇨🇭 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇨🇳 🇧🇷 🇺🇲 🇬🇧 🇦🇺 🇹🇭 🇪🇸 🇯🇵 🇳🇴 🇦🇹
If you are a female early career scientist in STEM fields and want to find community and mentorship, these two conferences at UCLA (4/17-18) are for you!! there are slots and travel grants still available, I will be talking at both and look forward to meeting you! 🧪🌎🧬🌊🦠🌿
Yep: A survey of 500 talks at biology meetings indicates that "Two-thirds of the attempts at humour during these talks fell flat, drawing either polite chuckles or no laughter at all"

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
Society publishers are learned societies publishing research for their scholarly communities. At the NSO, publishing is mission-driven: we reinvest in our members, support their research through our journals and uphold research integrity. 🌿🔬 #SocietyPublishing #OpenScience
Snails have this really cool structure called a radula that they used to scrape hard surfaces for food. It's quite entertaining to watch 😅

Responsible publication of your research!
To help you do this @nicolasgaltier.bsky.social and coauthors have put together a handy database of academia-friendly journals, DAFNEE. You can read about it in their article recently published in @jevbio.bsky.social:

A schematic image showing Recent changes in reef zonation of western Atlantic coral reefs, brought about by lack of recruitment of elkhorn, staghorn, and massive boulder corals. Without these key reef builders, the reefs have already measurably eroded. Image credit: Rashpal Dhilon. Adapted from ref. 6, which is licensed under CC BY 4.0. The panel on the left labeled Late Pleistocene to ~1978 shows a vibrant ecosystem, the middle panel (the 1980s) is depleted but still many corals remain (though some key species are lost). The panel on the right (2020s) is like a moonscape with a few hardy species left.
Very effective illustration of what has happened to Florida's coral reefs in response to anthropogenic climate and environment change. The loss of this important ecosystem is all but complete - attempts to rescue it discussed here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🪸🧪🌊

Now that shutdown is over, I'm looking forward to #SICB2026 in Portland, Oregon in January! Please check out Session 18: A Stinging Sense of Self: Cnidarian Cell Type Evolution on Sunday Jan. 4 at 10:00am! Also please reach out if you're interested in making lunch/dinner plans during the conference!
My first hairy #shrimp!!! Suuuuuper stoked to see this rare holy grail species!
The #hairyshrimp (Phycocaris simulans) aka the #AlgaeShrimp, is a nearly impossible to see tiny tiny tiny little varmint.

💾 any2fasta 0.8.1 is released!
The FASTA format is now 40 years old (Pearson & Lipman) and any2fasta makes it easy for your scripts and pipelines that accept FASTA to also accept other formats, even if compressed! eg. .gbk.gz

Adult male (small) and female (large) of Armillifer sp. Looks like a big and small crinkle cut french fry, also with paired hooks at the front. Both photos from this paper: https://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0000320
Adult female Linguatula serrata. Looks like a wrinkly tube, a bit wider at the front and tapering to a tail. There are some hooklike bits at the front.
🚨 Don't eat uncooked snake! Your eyes & lungs can be parasitized by pentastomids, which are a CRUSTACEAN. Adults lack so many features that they weren't believed to be arthropods at all until their DNA was sequenced (and sperm morphology, but that was not widely accepted). Yet, they are!

Thanks @cfrederica.bsky.social for your hard work on that one! Also thanks to the reviewers and editor at @animalecology.bsky.social for the feedback that helped improve the paper. Will submit there again for sure.
So nice to see this one out! Congrats @cfrederica.bsky.social

Excited to share that my lab is moving to HKU @swimshku.bsky.social early next year! Really looking forward to working with great colleagues in the Baker, Schunter, Mcilroy, Gaitan and Russell labs, @bonebraking.bsky.social, @jonscibulski.bsky.social and others in the School of Biological Sciences
Here, we show that deep below, corals and feather stars don’t just share space – they share microbes. Endozoicomonadaceae + Nitrosopumilaceae inhabit both hosts in a “promiscuous” symbiosis that may fuel nitrogen cycling in the deep sea.

The Brown and Stachowicz labs are looking for a postdoc for an NSF-funded project on the thermal dependence of disease in eelgrass! As a bonus you get to be based at the Bodega Marine Lab! Interested? Find out more here: brown-ecology.com/join-us/
The sponge-ctenophore debate was one of the first that excited me as an undergrad. It’s so cool to still see new papers coming out on the topic!

🦭 New study reveals overlooked intraspecific variation in prey quality and its influence on predator energy budgets. By identifying key ecological drivers, they emphasize the need to integrate such variability into bioenergetic models.
