The Journal of Biogeography explores the intersection of biology and geography, describing patterns and mechanisms that shape biodiversity through time and space.
This is technically last week's #InsertAnInvert2024 theme, mesopelagic, representing a slipper lobster (Scyllaridae) larva riding a jellyfish (Pelagia noctiluca). They are part of the largest migration on earth every night from the deep sea. I experienced this blackwater diving earlier this year 🧪🦑
For the #SciArtSeptember#invertebrate#InsertAnInvert2024#linocut#bioluminescent firefly squid! The firefly squid (Watasenia scintillans), also called sparkling enope squid or hotaru-ika in Japan, live at depth (200 to 400 m) & 🧵
#InsertAnInvert2024 Deep sea - Mesopelagic The twilight zone (200-1000m) is the top layer of deep sea where a little bit of light still goes through. The fan-spined urchin Cidaris blakei, for example, is often found by deep sea expeditions in the Gulf of Mexico and the Bahamas. 🎨 🐡

It’s deep sea month for #InsertAnInvert2024 starting with the mesopelagic twilight zone in the upper 200-1000 m water depth and going deeper. 🐡🧪 So I’m sharing this adorable Bobtail squid (actually, not a squid, but a cephalopod of order Sepiolida, closer to cuttlefish). Sometimes these little 🧵1/n

To facilitate more accurate long-term projections of primary production and export over oceanic low latitudes (LLs), we identified the first-order importance of the temperature dependence of remineral...
