  1. I've got seed shrimp! You can also see detritus worms in this video.

    I have in past years seen standing water in the woods at a local national rec area and on at least one occasion I have seen daphnia there. A couple or three weeks ago, I stopped by to collect leaf litter from that spot for my aquarium. It was dry at the time, but it was clearly a seasonal beaver situation.

    I had hoped to pick up some invertebrate eggs, and it looks like it has paid off.

    Collective synchrony of mating signals modulated by ecological cues and social signals in #bioluminescent sea fireflies royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

  4. Exceptions to the temperature–size rule: no Lilliput Effect in end-Permian ostracods from Aras Valley (NW Iran)

    Body size changes of ostracods in the Aras Valley section are evaluated in response to the drastic warming during the end-Permian mass extinction at three taxonomic levels: class, order, species. Individual species to instars do not show dwarfing similar to some experimental studies.

  5. Nostolepis sp. in Pridoli sea with some scolecodonts, crinoids and ostracods.

    Drawn while doing my Master's research. I find all of these in samples I have.
