Sea pigs were one of my favorite animals encountered on our expedition to East #Antarctica ! They are so alien looking but also so cute. 1/2

Shell ID video Quizzes anyone?

A new little series… Who’s that Antarctic Invertebrate?! And yes, I’ve made a bunch of these.

Monoplacophora are considered "living fossils" that retain a lot of ancestral traits.

In previous years, researchers tried to sequence the genome of this class of mollusks from museum samples.

Now, they may have better luck with fresh material preserved for genomics!

🧵Roll Tide Roll ... all the way to Antarctica.

#NSFfunded researchers are aboard the "Nathaniel B. Palmer" studying the taxonomy and systematics of a group of worm-like mollusks called Aplacophora.

In Antarctica I spent any free minute filming the amazing invertebrates that live there! With that footage I made a little nature doc series that will start being released next week. Here’s the trailer!

NBP 23-03 was a wild ride! We collected so many amazing aplacophorans, cumaceans, monoplacophorans, and memories 💙 #IcyInverts

Since everyone is posting their Antarctica packing spreads I’ll post mine. This is everything! So ready for the next two months!

Behold our new breeding colony of Epimenia arabica (Solenogastres) fresh off the plane from Oman thanks to @ChandlerSnails, @chrispmeyer, and @smtweedt! Keeping them fat and happy on Scleronephthya, their only food, is going to get expensive 🫰
