Delighted that our new paper on #Ediacaran early animal life is now out rdcu.be/fnksl @natecoevo.nature.com We show that asexual reproduction, stoloniferous reduces competition for Ediacaran early animals 580-560 million years ago, and that this then reduces early animal diversity
Apparently there no exceptions to the Cambrian Explosion:
"the early appearance of a differentiated stenolaemate crown group indicates a still deeper origin for the bryozoan stem lineage than was first apparent."

This #PrideMonth here is our Progress flag made from photographs we took of marine invertebrates: soft corals, nudibranchs and octopus with many thanks to James Reimer for the blue ringed octopus
Ancient trace fossils reveal how Ediacaran animals evolved distance sensing.

Una imagen con todas las especies de orquídeas abejeras ibéricas, género /Ophrys/, con fotos desde 2021 (cuándo empecé en este mundillo) hasta hace unos días. He incluido 38 especies, dejando fuera alguna que no tiene mucho consenso pero sin embargo añadiendo otras que ofrecen dudas.

Here's a predatory chiton, sort of reared up with the front pulled upwards! then down it comes! #molluscmonday www.inaturalist.org/observations...
Wrapping up a fantastic four days with the GSA Thompsom Field Forum visiting the wonderful #Ediacaran type localities in Namibia. Thank you so much to all the organisers 🤩
