The #goodnews for today is that #coral larvae stop their #cilia and contract, when the light goes off. How nice! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.06.636794v1 #biology #marine #larva

A fascinating paper investigating circumstantial evidence that suggests that one of the ways that some pelagic marine fish larvae avoid predation is by Batesian mimicry of noxious, unpalatable, and/or low- caloric-value invertebrates primarily cnidarians & ctenophores.🐟🧪 zenodo.org/records/1488...

In 2025, we continue to advocate for policy based on scientific evidence. This 2020 Editorial, “We need leaders that believe in scientific evidence”, resonates today as loudly as ever: plos.io/34lyl59.

Another beautiful paper from @laurentformery.bsky.social . This species, A.squamata, is a viviparous brooder - juveniles year round. Near and dear to my heart as I worked on it for my thesis. Laurent took it to another level. First installment of a new series of papers he is working on.
