An alien-looking Gonionemus vertens jellyfish from the North Sea
YouTube video by Igor Adameyko An alien-looking Gonionemus vertens jellyfish from the North Sea

Gonionemus vertens is a hydrozoan jellyfish with a beautiful medusa stage and tiny modest polyps. I collected and filmed a bunch of them in Skagerrak, North Sea. These are quite dangerous jellies - one sting can send a person into hospital.

A Cyerce kikutarobabai nudibranch from Okinawa. This one is very tiny - 3 mm long. I found it bouncing in the waves being torn from the reef by the water power. It was flying like a pink dot among the muddy water with debris. I did not expect much before I brought it under the microscope.

Most of these animals are adults, with few larvae among them. Adult forms: copepods (monstrilloids) and cumaceans, for example. Not sure how we shall consider polychaete epitoke brooding pink eggs - also as adults i suppose.. However, shrimp zoea are larval.

This is what is currently missing: GFP fluorescence of the GFP-beta-catenin knock-in embryos showing maternal GFP-b-cat in the vegetal half of the embryo and the onset of gastrulation at the animal pole.

Ξ²-catenin-driven endomesoderm specification is a Bilateria-specific novelty - Nature Communications Lebedeva et al. show that unlike Bilateria, the embryo of the cnidarian Nematostella specifies its endomesoderm in the Ξ²-catenin-negative domain.

This is true, but also - science or any other human activity doesn't need to be USEFUL. It's immensely valuable to understand the world around us for it's own sake. Same goes for humanities, arts, pure mathematics. Without this the world is just an empty vessel for maximizing shareholder value.
