If you want go to Mars you need to study basal metazoans at first

クリスマスシーズンでみんな忙しいのは理解してるし、レビューが遅れても文句は言わないから、レビューを断るのだけは勘弁してくれ!とエディターから連絡が来てた…🤣笑
Looking for reviewers before Christmas

We often think of an "equilibrium" as something standing still, like a scale in perfect balance.
But many equilibria are dynamic, like a flowing river which is never changing—yet never standing still.
These dynamic equilibria are nicely described by so-called "detailed balance"

Researchers discovered 300-year-old coral near the Solomon Islands. Although the coral is still in excellent health, researchers worry about global warming and overfishing threats and hope this discovery will inspire more protection for marine habitats. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

How did simple chemical reactions give rise to complex life? Recent studies of asteroid and comet material add to the evidence that the first steps of the chemical assembly process happen in space — and happen very readily. @elisecutts reports: quantamagazine.org/the-cosmo…

I love how Giant Pacific Octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) and East Pacific Red (Octopus Octopus rubescens) paralarva look like little metroids.

ALT A Giant Pacific Octopus paralarva (Enteroctopus dofleini) floating against a black background. It has translucent flesh, and you see orange organs inside its mantle and in its head, specifically where the eyes are. It has orange chromatophores on its mantle, and a single row of orange chromatophores on each arm.

ALT An East Pacific Red Octopus paralarva (Octopus rubescens) against a black background. Its flesh is transparent except for some orange chromatophores on its mantle and arms. It has a two rows of chromatophores on each arm. Its eyes and an organ are also orange and visible under its skin. Its eyes are a bit shiny.

Looks can be deceiving – and this is especially true for sea angels. These deep-sea snails, seemingly graceful, are fierce predators. Using hook-like appendages, they pull prey from shells, consuming up to 500 sea butterflies each hunting season! 🌊🪽🦋
