here are some of the cave ostracods that only live as epibionts on cave crayfish. I assume their freaky long legs are so they don't fall off

Long-range travels is an important factor in the geodispersal of vertebrates, modulating ever present force of the Geo-Red Queen, while merging individual geobiomes.

Welcome back to #TrilobiteTuesday

Here is the positive and negative impressions of Bathyuriscus fimbriatus. This specimen comes from the Middle Cambrian (Drumian) Marjum Formation in House Range, Utah. The Marjum is age equivalent to the Wheeler Shale but with slightly better preservation.

Fun fact, a lot of wonderful scientific illustrations you see in the 19th century natural science publications, were done by women, usually spouses of the researchers as uncredited free labour. The famous finches, came from John Gould, his wife, Elizabeth, illustrated his ornithology books.
This is not an attack on Biorender, which serves a useful function.

It’s exposing a troubling phenomenon that is unconsciously sucking the artistry out of science and reinforcing a silent conformity in its presentation and perception.

A bonus for #MolluscMonday, the first fossil I spotted today in Singapore, a sectioned ammonite on a polished slab of German Jurassic Treuchtlingen Formation used to clad a wall in Changi Airport.

Glad to see our phoronid genome study featured on the cover of @currentbiology.bsky.social! It shows how genome structure can be used to test competing hypotheses of nested topology and how derived structural changes provide evidence for monophyly.
