Our Observation of the Day is this Blue Button #hydroid colony seen in the United States by cjs041! You can see the individual polyps making up this colony surrounding the central, circular float. More details at: inaturalist.org/observations/2…
The 2024 #CityNatureChallenge begins TODAY! Snap a photo or record a sound of #nature in your neighborhood. Share it on #iNaturalist or your city's chosen platform. Join 690 cities worldwide and get your city's nature on the world map! CityNatureChallenge.org
Today is day 1 of the #CityNatureChallenge. Help scientists better understand the biodiversity of our cities in 3 steps! @citnatchallenge 1. Find any WILD plant, animal, fungi, slime mold, or any other evidence of life in your city 2. Take a picture 3. Share via @inaturalist
The Venus’ flower basket is a glass sponge made up of 1000s of tiny pores, which draw in water so the sponge can feed on bacteria & plankton. This process helps keep our oceans clean as a small glass sponge reef can filter 80K liters a second & remove 90% of the water's bacteria!
Our Observation of the Day is this Polychaete #Worm (potentially in the genus Tomopteris), seen in the #UnitedStates by ja_fields! More details at: inaturalist.org/observations/2… #nature #marinebio #biodiversity #polychaeta
When you think of #coral, you are likely picturing Scleractinian corals, the group of true or #stonycorals. Scleractinians build hard skeletons and structures out of calcium carbonate, making them the primary reef-building corals. 🪸 #coralreef
Horseshoe crabs have a terminal molt. #FridayFunFact. Once horseshoe crabs reach maturity, they stop shedding their shells to grow larger. As the horseshoe crab gets older, its final shell degrades, which is why some crabs are covered in barnacles & have to carry a heavy load.
Student Collections Study Awards @NHMLA provide funding for undergraduate and graduate students to visit and study @NHMLA collections. Details of the award can be found here: nhm.org/student-collec… Deadline is April 1!
Happy #TaxonomistAppreciationDay! In honor of this day, enjoy the three species from DigIn PIs that made the the WoRMS list of the top-ten marine species described in 2023! See the below posts about: 1. Alaysia solwarawarriors 2. Xyloplax princealberti 3. Dorymenia boucheti
(3/10) The Solwarawarriors Vestimentiferan is named after the Alliance of Solwara Warriors, an environmental group working to protect deep sea ecosystems. lifewatch.be/en/worms-top10… #toptenmarinespecies #taxonomistappreciationday #OceanDecade #GenOcean #marinespecies #deepsea
(6/10) Meet Prince Albert’s Sea Daisy, a delicate, flower-shaped starfish living on sunken wood and hydrothermal vent tubeworms. lifewatch.be/en/worms-top10… #toptenmarinespecies #taxonomistappreciationday #OceanDecade #GenOcean #marinespecies #deepsea
(7/10) Ever heard of Aplacophora, worm-like molluscs covered by spiny spicules rather than a single or paired shell? Meet Bouchet’s Dorymenia. lifewatch.be/en/worms-top10… #toptenmarinespecies #taxonomistappreciationday #OceanDecade #GenOcean #marinespecies #deepsea
Happy #taxonomistappreciationday! I'm really excited that Dorymenia boucheti, described by @chimpi_cobo earlier this year, made the #WoRMS top-10 marine species of 2023! #Aplacophora

Dofleinia armata (striped anemone) - Broome. Its body is covered with nematocysts (stinging cells). Each n-cyst is loaded with neurotoxins that interfere with the nervous system by switching off electrical signals in the cells. No comm's b/w cells leads to paralysis ☠️ look out🦀
