I found hitchhiker anemones (Calliactis tricolor) stuck to plastic on the beach this morning. As someone who never stopped listening to early 2010s Ke$ha, I deeply relate to cnidarians’ abiding love of trash. #InverteFest

Perfect timing for #InverteFest because my second thesis paper is out! TLDR; I counted two bajillion hydrozoans and about a dozen guys of every other species combined on four different types of substrate (rock, mesh, plastic, and wood) to see if larvae have preferences! peerj.com/articles/198...

Still waiting on rain that I hope will get the rest of the desert #tortoise crew out and about.

Our new paper on structure and growth of Porpita porpita - rdcu.be/etcY6 . Like Velella and Physalia, this is a colonial cnidarian that floats at the surface of the Ocean. The whole colony arises form a single embryo through clonal growth that gives rise to many specialized bodies.

There's a baby raccoon on the fence right outside my window with mama raccoon! She was grooming the baby so hard I thought it was going to fall off the fence.
