  4. @frankashwood Very nice photograph of an #Onychophora species. This taxon is predominantly native to the Southern Hemisphere and possesses morphological characteristics homologous to the #Arthropoda. Depending on the phylogenetic concept (Ecdysozoa versus Articulata), the understanding of the relationship between Onychophora and the Annelida differs. However, they are always classified as relatives of Arthropoda. For example, within the so called #Panarthropoda.

  24. The modern sea spider had started to diversify by the Jurassic phys.org/news/2023-08-modern-s

    New insights into the sea spider fauna (#Arthropoda, Pycnogonida) of La Voulte-sur-Rhône, France (#Jurassic, Callovian) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/fu

    "#SeaSpiders (#Pycnogonida), are a group of #marine #animals that is overall very poorly studied. However, they are very interesting to understand the #evolution of #arthropods as they appeared relatively early in the #arthropod tree of life."

  25. I'd like to highlight a niche paper by Hans Pellmann (2021) that documents branchiopod crustacean aktuo-paläontologie--documenting what happens in the modern world BEFORE fossilization. First, a dried out community of the clam shrimp Limnadia lenticularis (photo b J. Venzlaff). #arthropoda #crustacea #branchiopoda #spinicaudata #conchostraca #taphonomy #fossilization

  26. #InverteFest humblebrag: looked under a chip of rock and saw two tiny yellow-beige dots that in shape reminded me of aphid fundatrices (though much tinier). Hit 'em with the 24x macro clip-on and discovered they were tiny baby bristle millipedes (order Polyxenida)!!!

  32. This fallen tree in High Park's oak savannah was covered with absolutely tiny clover mite (_Bryobia_) nymphs. Note the six legs (they'll have eight as adults).

  33. A new paper by Poschmann & Schindler 2023 describes specimens of the fossil clam shrimp, Palaeolimnadiopsis obenaueri (Guthörl, 1931) with the impressions of eggs. #arthropoda #crustacea #branchiopoda #paleontology #Palaeontology #fossil #Permian #Germany #spinicaudata

  34. On the 31th and final day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me the fossil Rosagammarus minichiellus McMenamin et al 2013 from the Triassic Luning Formation in Nevada. This particular fossil has had an interesting path of reinterpretation. Buckle up!

  35. On the 28th day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me the fossil talitrid amphipod Caecorchestia bousfieldi Hegna & Lazo-Wasem in Hegna et al 2020. Yes, I was somewhat involved in naming this one . . .
    The cool thing about this amphipod is that it is preserved in amber. Typically, we associate amber with trees. And, we associate amphipods with water. How could these two meet? #crustacea #arthropoda #amphipoda #malacostraca #fossil

  36. On the 27th day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me the fossil clam shrimp Eosestheria middendorfi (Jones, 1862). This clam shrimp is notably found in the so-called 'Feathered Dinosaur Beds' of northeastern China. Specifically, it is a major constituent of the 'Jehol Biota' from the Yixian Formation. It is not just the feathered dinosaurs that are exceptionally preserved. EVERYTHING is exceptionally preserved. #crustacea #arthropoda #china #cretaceous #invertfest

  37. On the 26th day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me the rhizocephalan Sacculina carcini Thompson, 1836. Which frankly, caused me to doubt the trueness of her love . . . You see S. carcini, and its rhizocephalan brethren are parasitic castrators of crabs. Not being content with being merely epizoans like other barnacles, they have evolved something far more sinister. #arthropoda #crustacea #cirripedia #invertfest

  38. On the 25th day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me a mantis shrimp, Odontodactylus scyllarus Linnaeus, 1758. This stomatopod crustacean is both beautiful and deadly. At the front end of O. scyllarus, it carries a superpowered, superfast biological hammer.

  39. On the 23nd day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me the whale barnacle, Coronula diadema (Linnaeus, 1767). These little crustaceans are considered parasites on whales. Normal, everyday barnacles live their lives attached to a rock or shell on the sea bottom. Not so for C. diadema. . .

  40. On the 22nd day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me Nebalia bipes Fabricius, 1780. This diminutive, marine crustacean is a part of the order Leptostraca, within the Malacostraca. They are typically in the range of 1 cm long, and have a 'bivalved' carapace that in reality is articulated by a fold. It is more of a taco-shell-shaped carapace. At the front the have stalked eyes and a rostrum, at the back, their shrimp-like tail sticks out. #crustacea #arthropoda #malacostraca

  41. On the 21st day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me Bathynomus giganteus A. Milne-Edwards, 1879. This giant deep sea isopod approaches the size and cuddliness of a human infant. Claims of 30 inch specimens are out there, but 20 inches is more likely. Still, that is pretty big. #crustacea #arthropoda #isopoda #malacostraca

  42. On the 20th day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me a mountain shrimp, Anaspides tasmaniae Thompson, 1892. This is another modern crustacean that also deserves the title 'living fossil,' if the term can be meaningfully applied. The group of mountain shrimp (Syncarida) were known from fossils several decades before modern representatives were discovered. #arthropoda #crustacea #malacostraca

  43. On the 19th day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me a snapping shrimp. Also called a pistol shrimp, these diminutive members of a family of caridean shrimps called the Alpheidae. When working out, they never skip arm day. Well, at least on that one side.

  44. On the 14th day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me Kiwa hirsuta MacPherson, Jones, & Segonzac, 2006. This cutie is also known as the yeti crab. It is a deep water anomuran, living near hydrothermal vents at over 7,000 ft down (over 2,000 m). K. hirsuta likes it hot and deep. #crustacea #arthropoda #decapoda #malacostraca #yeti
