Life reconstruction of a disc-shaped ammonite (Placenticeras) with a straight-shelled ammonite (Baculites) in the foreground. These models are in a display case with text and figures apparent in the background.
Life reconstruction of an ammonite with a corkscrew-shaped shell with spines (Didymoceras) in a display case. Some text is visible in the background.
Life reconstruction of a squid-like cephalopod called a belemnite in a display case. Some text is visible in the background.
Some wax models of Cretaceous cephalopods for your enjoyment.

New observations of fascinating rock #sponges 🤩, in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea! A short note from our Greek partners highlight some of the threats rock sponges face, such as #plastic liter in the deep-sea 🙁

Amazing SponBIODIV discovery 🤩 by Díaz et al. at the Museum of Evolution at Uppsala University, Sweden.
We welcome the VILESIDA, an entirely new order of #sponges 🪸 @biodiversa.eu
The Uppsala University News today talk about our new order of sponges! 🪸If you want to know more 👇
Uppsala University was curious to see for themselves the new order of #sponges we discovered 😅
The use of historical #collections is pivotal in the understanding of today's taxonomy and biodiversity.
Our SponBIODIV partner @uu.se illustrates this with a 19th century🎩 #sponge🪸 collection from the North Atlantic 🌊.

#Photogrammetry works to monitor vulnerable marine ecosystems such as deepsea #spongegrounds! A population of the iconic 'Asconema setubalense' slightly increased reveal our partners from IEO-CSIC (Gijón, Spain), despite high fishing pressure. @biodiversa.eu

Do microbes contribute to #sponge sexual reproduction❤️ ? A team from SponBIODIV finds significant microbial composition changes in two species between reproductive and non-reproductive sponges! Spoiler: #Archaea are important!

#Connectivity in the #deepsea! EXCELLENT study on the key sponge ground species ‘Geodia hentscheli’, shows strong genetic and microbiome structures segregated by depth. 👇

What a great SponBIODIV kickoff meeting we had at
@ciimar.bsky.social in June 2023. 🙌 to this awesome All-Atlantic & Mediterranean consortium with 10 partners +7 associate partners, and over 60 researchers! Since then the #sponge science (and fun) has never stopped 😊 .
@biodiversa.eu
Can #sponges help protect the threatened coastal lagoon of the Mar Menor (SE of Spain)? 🧽 #eDNA 🧬 to monitor biological communities in shallow coastal ecosystems. 76 taxa, 9 phyla identified by Corral-Lou et al! @mncn-csic.bsky.social @biodiversa.eu

Their findings, published in @natureportfolio.nature.com, reaffirm earlier work by researchers including Steven Haddock of @mbarinews.bsky.social, who have urged the global community to move cautiously in the face of all the uncertainties. mbayaq.co/44cVKEa
Scientists long assumed that inactive vents, without the mineral-rich plumes that make active vents so mesmerizing, didn’t host unique lifeforms.
“It turns out that we just weren’t looking very closely,” says marine biologist Jason Sylvan.

Del 4 al 16 de noviembre se celebra la semana de la ciencia (si, son dos semanas aunque por el nombre parezca una)
Tienes toda la información en el enlace pero yo te recomiendo especialmente el homenaje a Jane Goodall que tendremos el jueves 12

The allotetraploid lycophyte Selaginella rupincola growing among the boulders at Cochise Stronghold in the Dragoon Mountains southeast of Tucson, Arizona.
Xanthisma spinulosum growing outside a gym in Tucson, Arizona.
Selaginella arizonica X eremophila hybrid zone at Alamo Canyon in Organ Pipe National Monument.
A Dieteria sp. being visited by a skipper in the White Mountains of Arizona.
I'm recruiting PhD students for the Barker Lab @uofa-eeb.bsky.social We study plant evolutionary genomics - polyploidy, hybridization & machine learning for genome evolution. Work with Selaginella, Xanthisma, Brassica & more. Funding available via CAMBIUM Fellowships. Reach out if interested! 🧬🌵🤖
TWELVE open PhD positions - what a fantastic opportunity for aspiring ocean scientists! UAF is a fantastic university with really amazing faculty, and Fairbanks is a beautiful place for outdoorsy people.
These iconic #corals are nearly extinct due to heatwaves: can they be saved?
