Just one week to get your abstracts in for A12 - "Digital Resilience: Immortalising biodiversity through 3D anatomical models"! You'll present alongside our keynote speaker @jaimiagray.bsky.social who will talk about how making CT data and derivatives FAIR can level the playing field for biologists.
The Pacific spiny lumpsucker, an inefficient swimmer but a highly efficient suction cup. The pelvic fins have evolved into a strong suction disk on the belly, giving it the ability to anchor itself to substrates. Plate-like structures called "tubercles" provide defense against predators.
