The finished product relating to our ophiuroid reproductive biology preprint is out, with @im_ahilario @Magdalini_Chris and Pedro Martinez Arbizu. Very proud to be associated with the @FrontiersIn special issue on #deepsea #biodiversity in the CCZ. @DEEPCs_UA @REDEEM__project

🚨: The once-in-an-eon event that gave Earth plants has happened again─ An event is only known to have happened three times before in the history of life on Earth has been documented again.

@DGuttatus @K_theHermit Fairly sure that's a ribbon worm with a net of mucus

@Finaghyps Ooooh what version of microbit are they using?

[Sven Laming @AbyssalDive]

@IrelandAMVMTV @FlutterbyVoyage this certainly would be quite a weekend!

[Sven Laming @AbyssalDive]

@rubyspira @DSBSoc @ESAEcology Amazing news and well deserved!

[Sven Laming @AbyssalDive]

@sigwartae Very cool!

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

Good morning to this woman. I hope she’s having a fucking gorgeous day 😍

On some level we all know it... https://t.co/e12MtpTxef

@sigwartae A marine fungus of some sort?

Cool paper that uses seasons in juxtaposition from opposing hemispheres to argue AGAINST any role of surface primary production in determining deep-sea reproductive rhythms in species reliant upon chemosynthetic symbioses

[C. Chen @ Jamsteeeec @squamiferum]

[New Paper] led by @PMethou in @Ecol_Evol shows reproductive traits of Rimicaris deep-sea vent shrimps are influenced by diet (symbiosis), plus surprising time-synced rhythm in N&S hemispheres -- indicating NOT driven by surface productivity!

@LlevinAnn @DrCraigMc Well except perhaps in the Mediterranean. At pockmarks in the NDSF we had pinewood deployments in areas of seepage that were colonised by Xylophaga (I think, though creeping doubt has me thinking that I need to check that now!).

@elinthom Tick tock don't stop!

No tolerance for harassment in research!
As we expand access to deep-sea exploration, we need to work hard to shine a light *above* the surface. Too many horror stories from women and URM on ships. Thanks @DivaAmon @HHardenDavies @Zoleka_Filander https://t.co/MdF4hqy73Q

@sigwartae @Senckenberg What a great post! Pity it falls outside my area of expertise a little...

@BootsHelp Already tried that to no avail, as you would know if your customer service were doing their job

[Sven Laming @AbyssalDive]

@BootsUK How is it that I am still waiting for delivery of a purchase I made on the 26th november??? @BootsHelp have been completely useless. No follow after a week of waiting, At this rate the items will not arrive before Xmas. Total incompetence
