#spongethursday #SeaRover2019 Here is a closer look at Hyalonema the tulip sponge and its glass roots <insert pun here> (those are zoanthid anemones up the stem) @MarineInst @EU_MARE @npwsBioData @agriculture_ie @Dept_CCAE @PlymUniMI @DeepSeaCRU

“There’s not much more to life than Ducks and Capybaras” 💕
I’ve just been informed by @ReganDrennan there is an area of the internet dedicated to Capybaras enjoying being surrounded by other animals. This has made my day. Two of my favourite animals feature in this one: – at South West, England

Artificial intelligence (AI) could help scientists shed new light on the variety of species living on the ocean floor.

Great presentation by @herre_san on work to model population connectivity of corals on the Gulf of Mexico. Larvae staying at depth of release. Similar observation to @_deeplinks

@DeepSeaEcol (head of @DeepSeaCRU) presenting @_deeplinks modelling results: ~50% Lophelia larvae settle in depth band of origin and bathyal peak in escapees from seamount. Better escape if passive, better depth mixing if swimming. Will compare to genetics soon. #DSBS2018 – at Monterey, CA

@nicola_foster - checking how many images you need to analyse and how often to adequately represent community. Depends on substrate and different intervals sample either alpha or beta diversity. Must ensure adequate transect length! #DSBS2018 @DeepSeaCRU @_deeplinks – at Monterey, CA

Yeah Sure #shrunkencupoff is all nice and well but what about #shrunkenpenguinoff? #jc136 @_deeplinks (uncoloured penguin is unshrunken)

Our @DeepSeaCRU researchers are working with @JNCC_UK and other partners in the @_deeplinks project to help protect the amazing diversity of life in the UK's deep ocean #WorldOceansDay2018 teapawt.org/JNCC_UK/status/1002525…

The Southern #NorthSea is important for both man & beast! It provides food for #seabirds, seals & harbour porpoise, as well as supporting EU #fishing fleets & is a source of #oilandgas for the UK. View the full video on #MPAs located there at bit.ly/SouthernNorthSea @CefasGovUK

#ThursdayThoughts~10,000 years ago you could have visited Europe from the UK by foot when Dogger Bank #MPA was dry land! Now submerged, the UK’s largest sandbank gives protection to habitats which support a rich variety of #MarineLife #NorthSea bit.ly/DoggerBank @CefasGovUK

Hannah Carr and @Laurar97 presenting on @JNCC_UK work at #WCMB2018 on MPA network and habitat sensitivity in UK marine habitat, with particular focus on #deepsea habitats - even with a cameo from the legendary robot vs sea pen from @DeepSeaCRU and @_deeplinks !

New paper out from the @NERCscience #deeplinks project looking at internal wave generation over Anton Dohrn Seamount. First step in larval dispersal modelling work. @AlexNimmoSmith onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Happy #spongethursday - here's a fascinating #deepsea Solenosmilia reef with many-a-sponge: most obviously the wonderful Aphrocallistes sp which look like melted candles made of lemon sorbet. 😍

An ode to the #deepsea encrusting sponge for this #spongethursday - the patchwork is quite beautiful more than 1km underwater on Anton Dohrn Seamount (~250km west of Scotland, from @_deeplinks images. FYI The pink fluffy spots between are sedentary holothurians (Psolus spp))
