CT scan of the Pacific spiny #lumpsucker Eumicrotremus orbis. Small juvenile, collected in 1955 in the San Juan Islands, WA, has nasty teeth. #Cyclopteridae Adam P. Summers Friday Harbor Labs Dr. Karly E. Cohen

CT scan of Eumicrotremus orbis, revealing interesting features of the pharyngeal jaws. Lateral, dorsal, and posterior views of the jaws show the lower jaw protrudes way forward relative to the upper jaw. And the pharyngeal teeth are huge compared to the oral teeth! #lumpsucker

A fascinating paper investigating circumstantial evidence that suggests one of the ways that some pelagic fish larvae avoid predation is by Batesian mimicry of unpalatable, and/or low- caloric-value invertebrates, primarily cnidarians & ctenophores. 🔓 zenodo.org/records/148895…

📣 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 📣 After less than 16 months exploring the ocean’s depths, we’re thrilled to reveal the first 866 new marine species discovered by the Ocean Census Alliance! Read more: oceancensus.org/press-release-…

The largest global mission to discover ocean life reveals over 800 newly discovered marine species by Ocean Census Science Network scientists, including the pygmy pipehorse Cylix nkosi from South Africa. @OceanCensus

Your mission should you chose to accept: Help rediscover an Australian temperate mesophotic pygmy seahorse!! The Bullneck Seahorse hasn't been seen since 1996. It lives on our deep reefs so this mission is for the advanced deep divers! Re:wild IMAS ASFB

A new Science Advances study has found that the coelacanth—an evolutionarily ancient fish often nicknamed a living fossil—lacks 11 jaw muscles that researchers previously thought it had. scim.ag/4iZXPIt

"Adaptive radiations" are almost always complicated, often involving introgression from external lineages. Case in point: Malawi cichlids. researchgate.net/publication/39…
