  1. Sea spiders found farming methane-eating #microbes in cultivated biofilm phys.org/news/2025-06-sea-spid

    Diverse, epibiotic #methanotrophs serve as a source of nutrition for #DeepSea methane seep Sericosura. By Bianca Dal Bó et al. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2501

    "#MethaneSeeps are areas of the seafloor where #methane forms flourishing ecosystems... 3 species of #SeaSpiders were discovered to host dense layers of CH4-consuming microbes on their exoskeletons... and graze upon them with specialized mouthparts"

    Spawning and larval development of Colossendeis megalonyx, a giant Antarctic sea spider: Amy Moran et al. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wile

    "To their amazement, 2 different mating groups produced thousands of tiny eggs. Instead of carrying the babies until they hatched, as in most species, one parent spent two days attaching the eggs to the rocky bottom where they developed for several months before hatching"

  25. #paleontology #fossils #Jurassic #Pycnogonids #SeaSpiders

    An article published in the journal "Papers in Palaeontology" reports the results of an examination of rare fossils of so-called sea spiders dating back to about 160 million years ago, during the Jurassic period. A team of researchers examined these fossils of marine arthropods which technically belong to the class of Pycnogonids (Pycnogonida).
