Certain types of sea urchins will pick up a shell with their tube feet and ‘wear’ it, with a behavior known as “covering reaction”, mainly because they shy away from light.
So aquarium enthusiasts 3D-printed tiny hats and they actually wear them.
Our (fabulous) team are recruiting! A great #job for someone who loves #marine #InvasiveSpecies. I'm happy to chat to anyone who's interested. jobs.apemltd.co.uk/vacancies…

Great lightning talk by @KateDey1 on the potential impacts of non-native Asian date mussel in the UK
A great day out on RV Callista this week with @portsmouthuni Masters students, learning about different sampling methods and practicing ID skills. We thought this tiny 3 cm #squid may have been a type of bobtail, called "little cuttlefish". Thanks for having us @unisouthampton

It’s #INNSweek 2023!
Today we’re looking at what is being done to reduce the impacts of invasive non-native plants and animals.
Throughout the day we’ll be sharing tweets from some of these projects. Visit the website to find out more nonnativespecies.org/invasiv… #Invasivespecies
ALT Green background with white and yellow text reading '15-21 May 2023 is Invasive Species Week. Find out how a wide range of organisations are working to reduce the impacts of invasive non-native plants and animals. Small photographs of non-native plants and animals (a mink attacking a gannet chick, floating pennywort plants covering a lake, a japanese knotweed stem growing through tarmac, and asian hornets in a nest) are on one side of the graphic.
Sparkling #seaweed in Lulworth Cove! In the middle of this video is Irish moss (Chondrus crispus) which reflects blue and ultraviolet light, possibly to protect itself from the sun's rays and / or to confuse animals that would otherwise eat it. nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2015…
If you're interested in #InvasiveSpecies this @BESInvasionSci event in Llandudno is for you! I've got my ticket 🥳
REGISTRATION OPEN! Join us on 20th June in Llandudno, Wales for our joint event with Wales Resilient Ecological Network: Improving the contribution of invasion science to policy and management. Get registered early to not miss out! britishecologicalsociety.org…

An inspiring day today with @ProjectSeagrass today learning the @SeagrassWatch monitoring methods, spiced up by the discovery of an #asiandatemussel on Ryde Beach!
A very successful boat trip this week! We collected lots of lovely mud samples which will be used for understanding what species the Asian date #mussel occurs with. Couldn't have done it without @MountainCD and @LucyMartincx.
Thanks @ECSAssociation for the opportunity to present my research on the feeding rate of the non-native Asian date #mussel at your conference this week. There was a great selection of talks, including those by @AndyVDSOlivier and @marinebio_zoe about @ProjectRaNTrans.

Do you work with vessels and/or waterside infrastructure in the Solent and want to find out about marine invasive species and biosecurity planning? Then come and join us at one of our three free workshops in March. solentforum.org/publications…

Presented my PhD work at the Molluscan Forum yesterday, at the Natural History Museum! 🦖#lifegoals. Well done to @Fiona_Woods98 @LucyMartincx @monicafabra3 @rachel__foster and everyone else who did brilliant talks and posters, and thanks @MalacSoc 🐌 for the opportunity

There is still time to sign up for #remediation workshop - let's talk about how we can tackle #nutrientinputs #waterpollution and how we can collaborate to come up with new solutions
Book on here: tinyurl.com/mryp2xzp
Finished collecting samples today out on the mud with @EmmaAlice_W and a beautiful sunset
Presented my PhD research on the potential impacts of the non-native Asian date mussel at the #CefasPastAndFuture conference this week. @CefasGovUK
Thanks @CefasGovUK for a great conference! Really enjoyed meeting students and staff and hearing about such diverse research. Also, shout out to @charley_clubley for an interesting talk on the use of dispersal modelling as a non-native species management tool
As the annual Cefas conference continues, we would like to celebrate all of our students - some pictured here!
We are privileged to have 88 students working in partnership with Cefas, completing cutting edge aquatic science and supporting our impact #CefasPastAndFuture
