Hi there! 👋 🐌

My name is Ari, and I'm a masters student at Southern IL University Carbondale. I'm a land snail ecologist studying land snail populations in limestone rich areas within the Shawnee National Forest.

I'm a teaching assistant here, and I love to provide a safe space for my students. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

One last post in honor of #Nudivember!

Last Halloween, I made myself into Costasiella kuroshimae, one of my favorite nudibranchs. They undego kleptoplasty, in which they kidnap the chloroplasts out of algae!

They store these chloroplasts within their gills so that they can undergo photosynthesis!

I've had experience with land snail ecology, genetics (COI and 16S) with octopuses and snails!

I've trapped eastern woodrats under a doctoral student!

I worked with the U of Iowa's historic mussel collection, and utilized geometric morphometrics to aid in identification of three similar species!

Aboard Kaimei, the world’s most advanced research vessel, Dr. Jann Vendetti (Curator, Malacology) is bringing us along with “Dispatches from the D-ARK”.

With two update batches to share, enjoy a look at the latest observations, like these micro gastropods (with a penny for scale!): bit.ly/D-ARK1
