Arthropod Satellite meeting ready to rock! #EED2024 ⁦@ezzatelsherif⁩

It took a couple of months from publication, but I finally have my author copies. 🎉

Arthropod biologists in the field. Giant sauropod tracks for scale.

Second evening of the Sinergia project retreat: group cooking. World cuisine galore!

Super excited to see the printed hard copy of the book! Better late than never.

We had a bit of rain this evening.

I had never seen colonial rotifers and didn't know they exist. Cool coil-like holdfasts connecting them. Anyone know more about these animals or can give a more specific identification? 3/3

However, after taking them to my DIC lab scope it quickly became clear that these are multicellular metazoans. The hyperactive cilia left no place for doubt: Rotifers. Cute little eye spots and also eggs confirmed the ID. 2/3

Exciting finds in student labs #microscopy. @orenkolodny found strange tiny fluff-balls in his pond-water samples and called me over for a look. Under the teaching-lab scopes my first guess was colonial ciliates. Follow the thread for more cool pictures and an ID. 1/3
