Remarkable associations in the plankton. This Corycaeus anglicus copepod has diatoms (Pseudohimantidium pacificum) growing on its body surface as epibionts.

(In some species similar associations appear to decrease copepod egg production) @zeiss_micro@natgeo

My dear beloved Gonzy. This is the most difficult loss I’ve faced. Thank you with all my heart for having chosen me as your postdoc mentor. You brought me years of happiness. Rest in peace. ❤️
