Type locality of Pecten pealeii Conrad, 1831 [=Chlamys islandica (Müller, 1776)] is the mouth of a river in Maine maybe involving an otter.
Incredibly proud to see this project hit the light of day! Begun in the 1980s as the M.S. research of D. Govoni, I've led the charge with Dave the past few years to revise and expand his unpublished thesis and ensure that this diverse gastropod fauna received the formal description it deserved. 🧵
Just one more week (till 5 Sept) to apply for the postdoc position with me at UA Museums' Department of Museum Research and Collections. NSF-project together with Jill Leonard-Pingel, @odealab.bsky.social, and @sethf.bsky.social focused on marine ecosystems in Panama.

New paper out:
The flounder effect: disparities in taxonomic and ecological study intensity across extant and fossil marine organisms hamper conservation

The Online Version of the Marvelous Mollusks exhibit I helped with is now live!
I expect more photos will be added in the next few weeks of the 400+ modern and fossil specimens on exhibit!

This is a fun multi institution project looking at recent past environmental change that caused extinction to predict responses to modern climate change in the marine realm. Modern and fossil colab. I was Jon's prior postdoc on the same project and would be happy to answer questions in DM. ⚒️ 🦑
If your work involves Big Palaeo Data, you should be *begging* people to publish little local studies of new observational data, jfc. Without that you have absolutely bupkiss. I say this as someone with a foot in both camps:

It's finally out! 200 years since the description of Eurypterus remipes, the first eurypterid named in the scientific literature, I present a summary of the history of eurypterid research and an updated taxonomy of every known species.🧪⚒️
