Not every day that you get to describe something from a Megamouth 🦈 🧪 This species of parasitic copepod was first described in 1978 from a Megamouth off Hawaii and has only been collected a couple of times. Here we describe the male for the first time www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/pbr/...

The Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Copepoda has just been published! Very diverse research topics reflective of our diverse membership. Check it out: 🦐🧪 www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/pbr/2...

New paper out in the WAC PeerJ hub: Imaging analysis on two oceanic copepods peerj.com/articles/199... via @peerj.bsky.social

Researchers of Khon Kaen University described two new copepod species of the species-rich genus Tropodiaptomus, collected from temporary water habitats in Southeast Asia. Find out more about them here: doi.org/10.3897/zook... #biodiversity #endemicspecies #freshwaterfish

Two for one invertebrates for #InverteFest. Here is the nudibranch Hypselodoris tryoni, in Komodo Indonesia, where you can see the purple eggs of a parasitic copepod sticking out from the slug's gill pocket. #sluglife #nudibranch🧪🦑

The 5th International Workshop on Symbiotic Copepoda was undoubtably a major success! We couldn’t have asked for better hosts at CEMACS, Malaysia. We miss you already!

IWOSC lectures and lab today on copepod identification at the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies

Productive day of collecting at the 5th International Workshop on Symbiotic Copepoda (IWOSC) here in Penang, Malaysia 🇲🇾🧪

Tutors and organizers of the current International Workshop on Symbiotic Copepods (IWOSC). Official photo of the whole group to be taken on Friday. Stay tuned for more!

Kicking off the International Workshop on Symbiotic Copepoda here in Malaysia at the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies 🥳

Excited to share our new paper on Kroyeria—a group of parasitic copepods found on sharks. Best part of the project was working with Greg Deets, who imo is the GOAT when it comes to copepod illustrations. We describe 5 new species & redescribe most others 🧪🦐 doi.org/10.1645/24-115

Sheaoak Flat has a fascinating soup of organisms in the near shore at the moment - in between the mass of organic debris partially dissolved in the water post-storm that blew some of the bloom away… Here is a cure copepod to brighten up your day

Fresh from the press - a new #copepod species from Roadside cave in #Bermuda. This is female we got during our 2016 expeditions. The manuscript includes a downloadable 3D model! Thanks to Giovanni Mussini from @magdalenecollege.bsky.social for taking the lead! zookeys.pensoft.net/article/1444...

First attempt at 3D printing a copepod!

PARASITE! copepod on this Nematocarcinus, 1518 m, Volador seamount, #okeanos #saveNOAA

Inspired by @fishguy.bsky.social 's #MyFirstPaper post I thought I would do the same. In 1988, working with Roger Cressey from the Smithsonian, we described the beast pictured below - Pseudopandarus australis - a copepod parasite on requiem and hammerhead sharks of eastern Australia. /1

We have now a PeerJ Hub to highlight research made on Copepoda!! Please see details below!

Our paper on the highly threatened population status of the parasitic copepod #Salmincola californiensis has been published in Aquatic Conservation. My first paper on parasite conservation! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Excited to share our recent paper, which is one of the first phylogenomic analyses of copepods 🧪 TLDR: the order Harpacticoida should be split, with 2 families forming their own new order—Canuelloida doi.org/10.1016/j.ym...

Fantastic parasitic copepods on this grenadier! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 798 #SouthSandwichIslands #MarineLife

Copepod phylogenomics supports Canuelloida as a valid order separate from Harpacticoida https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39986405/

This paper described a new species of parasitic copepod, Brachiella malayensis, from fish off Peninsular Malaysia [2020🧪] More details: doi.org/10.1051/para...

Congrats to this year’s recipients of our Student Grant Awards: -Agostina Tabilio Di Camillo - functional traits of copepods in groundwater ecosystems -Anitha Mary Davidson - Resilience of copepods to acidic waters -Eve Smerczynski - Impacts of climate change on estuarine food webs [1/2] 🧪

This is so cool! This is a Harpacticoida copepod from the genus Phyllopodopsyllus. This is my first time seeing one, because they are considered benthic (live on the seafloor). What’s so amazing is that the females have adapted fifth swimming legs that make a brood pouch! 🦑

Excited to share our new paper! We developed a key to the genera of Caligidae, the largest family of parasitic copepods, which includes >500 species in 27 genera. Available here: doi.org/10.1645/24-97 I spent a lot of time imaging copepods for this project...🧪 [🧵1/5]

A beautiful lady Pseudocalanus sp. copepod. This gorgeous girl is carrying eggs, in what I assume are early development. 🦑 #plankton

A new genus and species of copepod was described based on specimens collected in the marine cave of Sipadan Island, Sabah, Malaysia. Find out more about it here: doi.org/10.3897/zook...

Jetzt konnte ich doch mal einen Harpacticoida Copepoden einzeln ablichten und nicht von der Seite. Eigentlich wollte ich von dorsal, aber die verbiegen sich immer so U-förmig. Dann halt von frontal

We are excited to announce the 5th International Workshop on Symbiotic Copepoda (IWOSC) to be held 2-9 August 2025 at the Universiti Sains Malaysia's Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (CEMACS). Deadline to apply is 15 March 2025. See the attached flyer!

This is one of the creepiest figures - one of the new clingfish with a parasitic copepod (Impexus hammondi). It is a huge parasite relative to body size.

Oooh, that looks kinda like a Sarcotaces dailyparasite.blogspot.com/2022/06/sarc... It's a genus of parasitic copepods that burrow into fish

Crustacean photo for #Crustmas. This is the copepod Critomolgus walteri, which lives as a commensal on Leptogorgia octocorals. I worked on the species description for this animal in 2021. This was one of the most difficult photos I have ever taken under the #microscope! #Invertebrates #Marinelife

#DidYouKnow there are more than 14,500 species of #copepods? Thats more copepods than #mammals (6k) or #birds (10k)! They are found in all habitats where water is found including oceans, lakes, caves, bromeliads, and even damp soil. They are also the most abundant animals in the ocean! 🦐🧪
