  1. Giant, deep-sea roly-polies steal a #gene to endure starvation
    The football-sized #crustaceans feast when they can, then slow their #metabolism to a crawl
    These #Isopods are armored, oblong crustaceans. Long ago, the creatures stole a gene from a bacterium and welded it into their own set of DNA. This may help the crustaceans tolerate extremely long periods without food in the frigid, abyssal desert.

  6. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ TIL: πŸ›ΈπŸŒŠ A #NOAA #ROV explores abyssal plains near the #CookIslands in the #SouthPacific, mapping the deep seafloor and #water column with sensors while live streaming nearly daily through August 13. Divers have already spotted carnivorous #sponges that capture small #crustaceans, a surprising find for habitats once thought sparse.

  7. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ ICYMI: 🦐🦘 Roly polies are terrestrial #crustaceans that evolved from marine-dwelling ancestors.

    They share a specific trait with #kangaroos because both carry their young in a brood pouch. Female pill bugs carry their #eggs and newly-hatched young in a special pouch called a marsupium.
