#crustaceans — Public Fediverse posts

#Fouling means that #sessileanimals as #crustaceans or #mussels attach themselves to non-living #underwatersurfaces as #shiphulls. According to Capt. Raghu Sharma (2026), this particularly affects ships beyond the #StraitofHormuz due to #warmwaters and #highsalinity. It increases #hydrodynamicdrag leading to higher #fuelconsumption (M. Tadros et al. 2022).

Here's a lobster boi! Drawing those big claws was really fun (but also quite difficult to get right with perspective)

Learning how to draw shrimps. How do people keep track of all their legs??? (There's so many...)

That said they do look kinda cute haha

An amazing video. It’s so good to see we’re letting some creatures survive and do well…

Last night instead of doing laundry I went for a walk by the lake and found some marvellous creatures.

1. Grass spider (_Agelenopsis_)
2. Huge carpenter ant (_Camponotus_) alate
3. _Porcellio_ isopod, half-molted
4. Ridiculous weevil (Cryptorhynchinae)?

Researchers reveal how genetically identical #WaterFleas develop into different sexes https://phys.org/news/2024-05-reveal-genetically-identical-fleas-sexes.html paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-59774-1

"#Daphnia are tiny #crustaceans, or water fleas, that are extremely adaptable to their environment. This is due to their remarkable phenotypic plasticity, i.e., their ability to change their form or behavior despite their genetic makeup remaining unchanged. Even male and female Daphnia are genetically identical."

Happy #WoodlouseWednesday!

I'm still very bad at IDing isopods so I'm not sure if it's Porcellio or Oniscus or whatever.

Next block getting carved is a true 🦀

Not one of those false crabs. There’s a process called carcinization where crustaceans keep evolving a crab-like form again and again. So there’s many animals you might swear were crabs, called the such-and-such crab, which aren’t technically crabs. But this one is the real deal. Ranina ranina, the frog crab or spanner crab.
