Box Jellyfish Chirp!

I always make sure to mention this at every chance I get, but a box jellyfish put into an ideal position (so this one, basically- it's the only one I've seen actually make this noise) will chirp

// ok, "whistle" is probably the most correct term in this situation since I believe the sound is just air coming out of the jelly's velarium (what water typically passes through when the jelly swims underwater)

but the sound is close enough to a chirp that I just call it that. It's cuter that way, imo

Me, about to graduate: "Oh cool, more time for game design and having an online presence" Me, looking at masters programs: "... wait a sec..."

[donuts4evry1]

i wish people who charge 130$ for students for temporary access to a textbook and homework software a very have a terrible life

[donuts4evry1]

[apolladay]

Do you have an animal other people associate you with?

Yes

No, but there is a non-animal thing that I'm associated with

No, I don't have anything like this

I'm not sure

Hey all! It's the end of the semester for me so I've been pretty busy- but I did preorder Tomodachi Life and was able to play it on launch day :)!

Anyways I'm living in Palette House rn hahaha

(absolutely tragic how terrible it looks on full screen... but it's pretty convincing as game size)

Also realized I could make music jackets 👀

[cuunos]

jellyfish lifecycles piss me off a little bit

[cuunos]

you don't have to do that. you can just not do that

[eddieintheocean]

:D they can do more :D (x)

[pitybaumkuchen]

@donuts4evry1

[donuts4evry1]

Can confirm. They do a lot!

(The chart listed above combines multiple jellyfish life cycles into one graphic though, which makes it seem very chaotic. Not that they aren't chaotic in general though)

(I think of jellyfish as something more akin to fruiting plants than as actual animals when I think about their life history. It makes a lot more sense that way)

[donuts4evry1]

Getting the urge to create more cubozoan characters

[donuts4evry1]

WAIT THATS SO BASED!! Tbh I don't have a favourite per say because there's something interesting about practically every jellyfish, but I do have my eyes on the Morbakka virulenta (Giant Box Jellyfish / Fire Jellyfish / Hikurage) at the moment ^-^

[blujellyfish21]

I need more Lisa-Ann Gershwin love on here. Especially on the marine bio side of here. Is there a jellyfish side of here??

[donuts4evry1]

OH MY GOD LISA ANN GERSHWIN MENT???

👉👈🥺🥺 op you have tell me,,,,, do you have any of her publications?

[blujellyfish21]

uhhhh I have two of her books - Shapeshifters and Stung - and started to read through online her publication on the Irukandji she discovered (found it on the WoRMS site)

Link to the Irukandji thing:

OPPS I didn't realise you have to register to see it I kinda only read the abstract

[donuts4evry1]

Oooh I haven't read that yet- definitely will add that to my growing collection of Jellyfish literature. Much appreciated ^-^

(Also! I do have a ResearchGate account which has the full text available for free- I suppose MaPress is just imposing their silly little fees on her publication... as always ;-;)

(I'll link it up here ^^, though for the record you can access and download the full text without an account. The original paper is kinda hard to read tho ;-;)

In return I give you this paper where she talks about the morphological characteristics of the Aurelia labiata (and maybe other minute morphological differences in the genus? It's actually been a while since I've read it but definitely need to read this again haha)
