Amazing new species from Vietnam
I just discovered a crazy isopod

@sonkelab Very cute! Where was this guy collected? Do you have some pictures of it in different views!

[Janet M. Ferguson-Roberts | @janetmfr.bsky.social @janetmfr]

Come take in all the new research in deep-sea biology, and meet new colleagues and friends with us in Hong Kong next January!!

A plate of pelagic larval fishes. Many fishes, who as adults are reef bound, have pelagic larvae that travel currents for various amounts of time before settling as a means of dispersal.

He's not lonely! He's just alone for the moment. There's a difference! He has lots of friends, but he felt like taking a little stroll by himself.

Love this one. This is the pelagic octopus Japatella diaphana, which — in addition to performing rapid color changes when illuminated, is also known for the females having a ring-like green bioluminescent organ around their mouth that only glows when they are ready to mate.

This amazing deep-sea shrimp is Eugonatonotus crassus. It is one of only two species in the only genus of the family. Note the amazing reflectance from the eye (known as eye shine) which suggests they have a reflective layer at the back (tapetum) just like cats do.

The Lovely Hatchetfish (Argyropelecus aculeatus) is known from all major, non-polar oceans of the world from between 100 meters depth down to over 2000 meters depth.

Brittle Star releasing a whole lot of eggs.

Diel vertical migration is so cool man. Imagine being a little 4cm lanternfish swimming 400m every night and then doing it again in the morning - scaled up, that'd be the same as running 20km twice a day!

Lovely account of the deep-sea amphipod Phronima, its eyes and the work of @OsbornLab in @InvertebratesDC ! https://t.co/6jNQUjm9jq

[Danté Fenolio, Ph.D. @DanteFenolio]

A juvenile Lancetfish (Alepisaurus ferox)

Please share: I’m recruiting a postdoc (2-years) to start in my lab Fall 2024. My lab studies Functional Morphology and Macroevolution (mostly of fishes).
