@michaeltconnelly.bsky.social et al. sequenced 342 Pocillopora coral samples from the Eastern Tropical Pacific, revealing four distinct species; algal symbiont community profiling identified dominant symbionts that varied according to host species.

Recently described "cookie" star Plinthaster australis from the #coralseafrontiers expedition! Originally known only from New Caledonia!
A study found that a widely used insecticide, chlorpyrifos, speeds up aging in a common lake fish by shortening the protective caps on its chromosomes, and leads to its premature death. https://scim.ag/49Hp7jU

Cleared skeleton of a so-called Cactus Urchin1 Dermechinus horridus! with its bizarre high-aspect test! Possibly an adaptation to filter feeding! #echinoday
Sea anemones and jellyfish don’t have brains, but the way their neurons behave during sleep shows some surprising similarities to humans

"Machines mining minerals in the deep ocean have been found to cause significant damage to life on the seabed,...
The number of animals found in the tracks of the vehicles was reduced by 37% compared to untouched areas, according to the scientists." #deepsea bbc.com/news/article...
The Pink Hairy Squat Lobster (Lauriea siagiani) is a small crustacean that lives on barrel sponges in the Indo-Pacific region. It is more closely related to crabs than lobsters & is known for its color & hair-like structures called setae, which help it sense vibrations & filter food.

#Ecosde2Cañones sea life & fish w/antifreeze proteins! “It was wonderful to see the notothenioid fish curiously approach the ROV camera, reminding us that every encounter with marine life is deeply connected to the physical dynamics shaping their environment.” - Chief Scientist Dr. Silvia Romero
🐙 Scripps Oceanography scientists have engineered bacteria to mass‑produce the pigment that lets octopuses and squids change color! This breakthrough not only sheds light on animal chemistry but also paves the way for sustainable, bio‑based materials. t.co/Oitp8NnntR

A "good news" thing that the State of Ohio does is partner with universities and orgs like @visitcolumbuszoo.bsky.social to do vital conservation research. This story highlights fantastic work on native bees, but the efforts also focus on snakes, mussels & hellbenders

Not as clear-but wow. there's a whole little VILLAGE of amphipods living around the tentacles of this #hydroid! Corymorpha from Indonesia, www.inaturalist.org/observations...
An #Invertefest mystery! I don't know what this is. I *think* it might be the mouth and tentacles of a buried sea cucumber of some sort, but I don't recall it doing the usual food-to-mouth transfer that you often see with those. Maybe it's a small aquatic Sarlacc?
