We present the new marine nematode species: Dracograllus miguelitus. It is the first species of its genus described from hydrothermal environments, and from the deepest location so far. This is the first paper of my PhD, and I’m deeply grateful to my supervisors!

Only 2.5% of animal biomass is human.
Still, that fraction is reshaping the fate of the whole 🌍.

¿Y si te dijera que hay un mundo "invisible" bajos tus pies, lleno de animales que nadie ve pero que lo sostienen todo?🔍
Mi tesis va de ellos: la meiofauna. 🪱🦂

Wonderful initiative. We must never overlook the importance of taxonomy. There is no sense in talking about species conservation without paying close attention to advances in systematics and taxonomy. Thank you, everyone!

I came across this quote from Cobb years ago when I started studying nematodes, and it totally blew my mind. I asked AI to generate an image based on it, and… pretty sure I just discovered the perfect setting for a dystopian movie 😅

These decisions by Trump are nauseating. Absolutely everything he does is nothing more than a need for personal affirmation, which he projects as being American. I hope history is mercilessly harsh on everyone on this vile and rotten side.

Why do we care about deep-sea worms?
2024 Ocean Census Awardee, Dr Franzisca, says: “While small and overlooked, Solenogastres are part of a broader conservation picture, and studying them can reveal unique adaptations.”

Jetzt konnte ich doch mal einen Harpacticoida Copepoden einzeln ablichten und nicht von der Seite. Eigentlich wollte ich von dorsal, aber die verbiegen sich immer so U-förmig. Dann halt von frontal

Where do they shove the freedom they preach so much? What a disturbance—exhausted from seeing so many people like that in positions of authority.
Many Instagram and Facebook users say they are confused about why they are following and seeing posts from President Trump and JD Vance in their feeds. Here’s why. nyti.ms/42jJCRQ
