💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐸🥚 In a high-elevation #Oregon #lake, hundreds of Western toad pairs lay over a million #eggs together.
The hatching #tadpoles form massive #underwater schools that snake along the shore before growing legs and moving onto land. The #amphibians connect local food webs by transferring #energy to larger #predators.

Under adverse conditions, #astigmatid #mites develop a special nymphal stage: the #deutonymph (shown here: #Histiostoma #sapromyzarum, living specimen). It's a #heteromorphic stage that serves the purpose of #phoretictransport and a result of a #metamorphosis into a juvenile stage lacking a mouth but possessing gonadal primordia and a rudimentary midgut.

"Metamorphosis" by The Rolling Stones released in June 1975.
#TheRollingStones #Metamorphosis -
So if I understood this article correctly, the key conclusion is this - metamorphosis was not the condition for moving onto land?
The traditional picture was:
Tetrapods could leave water because they first evolved a tadpole-like larval stage and then metamorphosed.
The new interpretation suggested by these fossils is closer to:
Tetrapods gradually adapted to land over evolutionary time, and they probably did not need a frog-like metamorphosis to do it.
In other words, metamorphosis was probably not a prerequisite for terrestrial life. Instead, the transition from water to land appears to have been a long, gradual evolutionary process affecting the whole life cycle, rather than depending on a distinct larval stage.
Analogy of two possible scenarios:
Old model
- Young live in water.
- Undergo a major developmental transition.
- Adults become adapted to life on land.
New model
- Young and adults share the same basic body plan.
- Land adaptations accumulate gradually over millions of years (generations).
So the narrative shifts from:
Metamorphosis enabled the move onto land
to:
The move onto land happened gradually, and amphibian-style metamorphosis likely evolved later as a specialized adaptation.

I think I have probably reached saturation point with my abstract 'found art' Metamorphosis series, so here are the final collections and I will move on to pastures new.

We were trained to relate to the world through abstraction first, which is why genuine contact can feel almost shocking — the resistance of material, the limits of the body, weather changing the terms of the day, another person remaining irreducibly themselves — all the ordinary ways reality reminds you it is alive and not merely the backdrop for your intentions.

You can carry what's real and still keep building at the edge of what's becoming — those two things were never in conflict.
