Delighted that Nile's first paper is now out @NatureEcoEvo nature.com/articles/s41559-0… which investigates the driving forces behind the evolution of early metazoans from the Ediacaran time period ~565 million years ago.

Shrimp glow, did ya know?!!!
So proud of @prawn_princess_ for this review of bioluminescence in deep-sea decapods! We increase previous accounts by 65% and found most common form of GLOW is NOT what we expected. @FIUMarineBio @FIUEnvironment @FIUCASE
