What is your favorite #sunflowerseastar name? I like 'Drumstick' and 'Cordyceps' myself! This is the sea star roster from our new paper on sea star predation on sea urchins. Message: they're hungry!

My friends, let's get back to what twitter is really here for: the fun, geeky stuff behind the science, the LOLs, the crying laughing cat emogis 😹..... I think y'all need to know the names of the Pycnopodia in our experiment. (from the supplemental files) https://t.co/dXjPsBWK2m
We found that Pycnopodia happily they eat both fed and starved urchins, which have empty gonads, like the ones in barrens. #PycnoNomNom! Other important urchin predators turn up their noses at urchins with no 'uni' (gonad) but Pycnopodia are apparently not picky eaters. 🌠
We know of patches where they survive in Puget Sound, BC, & Alaska. My team is currently working on trophic ecology of Pycnopodia and their prey at @MarineBiol_FHL using stars from Washington in partnership with @nature_org, @sarahgravem, @RossWhippo, & Julia Kobelt. #PycnoNomNom
Julia's talk is the cat's pajamas. The bee's knees. The sea star's ankles. The urchin's ponytail. Go check it out tomorrow. #PycnoNomNom #WSN2020
Another #WSN2020 promotion! Are you interested in Pycnopodia trophic ecology? Sweet, we are too! We should hang out and talk sometime... come check out this talk by @julia_kobelt: Sunflower star predation rates on fed & starved purple sea urchins. Sat Nov 7, 4:55 pm. #PycnoNomNom

Met the ultimate squidge!
Completely smitten with this sunflower #seastar 😍 Thanks for the introduction, Julia Kobelt!

South Oregon Coast naturalist and @UO_OIMB researcher Nancy Treneman found another juvenile sunflower star (Pycnopodia) yesterday! They are still very rare in Oregon since the wasting disease wiped them out! This is the same species we are working on in the #PycnoNomNom project.
We have started our initial Pycno feeding trials! This picture shows 'Prince' in the midst of a gluttonous 7-day eating blitz where it is being allowed to eat as much as they possibly can, after 7 days of starvation. Prince is a vigorous eater! #PycnoNomNom Pic: @trophicascadia
#PycnoOfTheDay Meet Data. Data is a self-proclaimed ‘wild child’ and loves exploring, dropping arms like they’re hot, and Burning Man. If you want to meet Data you’ll probably find them on the dance floor at a wedding. Data is seeking dance partners. #PycnoNomNom @awegalloway
#PycnoOfTheDay Meet Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Jean-Luc is an archaeology buff, enjoys classical music, travel, and carrion. He’s a bit shy, so give him space and he’ll come to you. Jean-Luc is looking for breakfast companions only. #PycnoNomNom #StarTrek @CTELab
For our work on sunflower star (Pycnopodia) feeding ecology, we are collecting and caring for 20-30 stars. We need to keep track of the individuals. So we name them. They have distinctive shapes and coloration. Would you like an introduction to our friends? #PycnoNomNom My photo.
#PycnoOfTheDay Meet Nog. Nog enjoys long walks on the sea floor, relaxing in a soft bed of kelp, devouring sea urchins, and merlot. Nog is available for play dates and activity partners. #PycnoNomNom @CTELab
Update! I'm starting a new research project, supported by @nature_org, to learn more about the feeding ecology of the sunflower star, Pycnopodia. We're working out of @MarineBiol_FHL. We've collected 8 inquisitive and precious Pycnos so far (including 'Mango' below)! #PycnoNomNom
