Even after death, #mantisShrimp maintain their murderous intent.

A talk I'm very much looking forward to!

Happy New Year! I would also like to declare it year of the tiger mantis shrimp 🤣

Was just reading a thread about #mantisShrimp and have realized Rainbow Rambo may be the best name I've never thought of for Odontodactylus scyllarus.

I wanna fight. No point in talking about this 🤣

Congrats Megan Porter for getting back into cave research! Hope you, Becky Chong and Annette Summers Engel continue to find new species and cool (mainly blind) things!

A little late but I'm super excited to share our new review of crustacean opsin diversity, part of the just published Phil Trans R Soc theme issue on arthropod color vision! Thanks to the best co-authors @twiwanicki Mireille Steck and Megan Porter 🦞 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10…

2 new descriptions of Acanthosquilla from Japan! Love their little stripes and hatchet shaped raptorial claws 💗

Who could have guessed that dragons were based on worms this whole time? instagram.com/reel/CoMfRABLz…

I still can't believe the shapes crustaceans can become. As thought crab weren't already good enough!

Our review on copepod eyes is out! How many different ways can you restructure a three cup eye? Quite a lot....

Is this how sand turtles feed with regular wave action going?? Why do they look so unskilled.

I found NSERC's letter for my PhD fellowship in 1980! I got $8500/year. To keep up with inflation, NSERC would have needed to raise fellowships to $20,572 by 2003, which they did! Good job! But notice what has happened since 2003... Support Our Science
