The glow of a blue-ringed octopus comes from their iridophores, light-reflecting structures arranged to shimmer blue when the muscles above them relax. 🌟

Polyorchis karafutoensis. A fist-sized (it’s big!) hydrozoan jellyfish from the Sea of Japan. It has tiny red eyes at the base of its tentacles, and it hunts fascinatingly - I'll tell about it later.
Not all jellyfish swim. There are stalked jellyfish whose dome develops a movable stalk with a suction cup on the end and whose tentacles have gathered into eight tufts on their arms. They are practically unable to hunt themselves, so they simply wait for their unlucky prey.
Corymorpha nutans is a meroplanktonic hydrozoan with both planktonic medusa and benthic polyp stages. Unlike most hydrozoan species (and all scyphozoa and cubozoa), a few hydroids are exceptionally large in comparison to their corresponding jellyfish. [👇🧵1/4]
a while ago, I learned about the mental load — and created a comprehensive guide to cleaning! Check it out if you haven’t! #mentalload

Introduction to Linear Models! Join us Wed 26th Oct 3-5pm UK Time on Zoom as we delve into #linearmodels in #RStats, a fundamental skill for beginner and experienced coders alike! Details and joining info below 🔽🔽
The @ButterflyNetNSF Pieridae phylogeny is out: 97% of genera & >50% of species! Diversification correlates with temperature. Congrats to @anapscarvalho for leading this with @Dr_Akito and myself. @CCNYBiology@cunyeeb @CCNY_Science @GradCenterBio
