lol what the hell is THAT "When the males are undisturbed, the glenofinger can slowly grow to almost the size of the abdomen. At the slightest disturbance (vibration, noise, shadow) it can be retreated within a second." yeah this unique gland in some Glenochrysa lacewings is called a glenofinger..

The strangest thing happened today. We went to the uninhabited island of Lunga, west of Mull, to look at the puffins nesting there. I was just taking photos when I felt a thump as something landed quite heavily in my head. It was a puffin! It stayed for about a minute before flying off.

Whoa! If only all animals had such a delightful anal bulb!

They corroborate past inferences that the monotypic Lepidocybium is sister to all other trichiuroids, and that it renders the traditional Gempylidae paraphyletic. They propose the new family Lepidocybiidae to accommodate this lineage that's been doing its own thing since the Paleocene.

On the road, but a quick spin through a trio of recent papers with implications for acanthomorph evolution. First off, Allison Murray and colleagues describe two new spiny-rayed fishes from the freshwater late Cretaceous "Pisces Point" site in Alberta: cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/...

These look tropical but are in fact a british species called the Montagu's Blenny found in the south west of england often in rockpools. Easy to distinguish from other blennies as its the only UK species with one "tenticle" on the head.

i'm working on some pipefish papercrafts this week, and i think they would be best friends with the seadragon papercrafts i made back in 2023 :3
