Excited to share my first PhD chapter, which was just published in @NatureComms !!

Read more about the impacts of mining plumes on the helmet jellyfish #Periphylla here:

First paper of 2024! 🪼

Very excited to announce a ✨️BEAUTIFUL✨️project published in @CurrentBiology with @RebeccaRHelm.

Within, we use phylogeny and ancestral reconstructions to better understand the evolution of organisms on the ocean's surface.

Deep sea mining may pose a threat to the largest and least explored habitat on the planet—the deep pelagic ocean—and some organisms living within it, including pelagic jellyfish, suggests a @NatureComms paper. https://t.co/xMxLMhR09G

Our paper was picked for the editor's highlights by @NatureComms!

Read more about the effects of mining-induced sediment plumes on the midwater jelly #Periphylla #periphylla here:

Research done by iAtlantic scientists that examines the effects of sediment plumes on jellyfish living in the water column has been making headlines from @nytimes to @BBC. Read about the implications of @VIStenvers' work: https://t.co/ZILFA8YJce

[iAtlanticEU @iAtlanticEU]

The research got a feature in BBC https://t.co/dyafisjeQY 👏🏻 @VIStenvers

[Nature Communications @NatureComms]

Species-specific responses to deep sea mining are unclear. Stenvers et al. show that elevated temperatures & simulated sediment plumes cause physiological stress in a cosmopolitan deep-sea jellyfish

My co-authors and I investigated the effects of mining-induced sediment plumes on the midwater jelly #Periphylla and made this video to explain the main findings. Read all about it on @NatureComms https://t.co/21XnuEgolX

[Vanessa Stenvers @VIStenvers]

@kategscience also wrote a wonderful piece for @nytimes

All are very welcome to create their own PhD project in my Duke Biology lab in in vision/signaling/camouflage/biophotonics/navigation. Stipend ($38,500 USD) is guaranteed for six years via TA/RA/fellowship. Current one-bedroom rent is ~$1600. DM me if interested. #scitwitter

[Vanessa Stenvers @VIStenvers]

@jeffday @SchmidtOcean How interesting!! Indeed looks like it!

Polynoidae is the most species-rich family of Aphroditiformia (scale worms), with over 900 species. A new study presents a transcriptome-based phylogeny that emphasizes relationships between taxa and provides insights into the origin of enigmatic lineages. https://t.co/FwvqBIanyH
