Planarian (type of flatworm) inspired dragon I drew on four taped together sticky notes 😭 I’ve been wanting to make a planarian dragon for a while, I think I’ll make a species or oc based on it.

Rbs appreciated ^^

Four out five Aquarium staff agree...

...nudibranchs are amazing!

With their bright splashes of color and cool features—like some species that transfer their prey’s stinging cells into their own organs for defense—these sea slugs are something special.

Meet some of our nudibranchs!

🌈Nudibranch means naked gills—sea if you can spot them 👀 These sensational sea slugs don’t need a flashy shell to shine, unlike their snail cousins—but they do need a healthy ocean to thrive. By protecting their habitats from destruction and pollution, we can make sure these colorful cuties can thrive!

Flatworm Friday!!!!

friday!

I saw this wiggly fellow earlier this year. I love the little eye spots they have, it makes them look really goofy.

This guy is probably in the Notocomplana genus, but I'm not terribly knowledgeable about my local flatworms and there's an unfortunate lack of information about a lot of the more "boring" species. All I can say about these dudes is that they are free living and cruise around a lot during low tide. And that they're terribly cute!

Because I like them.

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

Flatworm mimicry

Fun fact! Did you know that certain flatworms are mimicked by certain types of fish?

This is speculated to be from the flatworms TTX (Tetrodotoxin) content. More research is being conducted on the topic, but mimicry like this can be used to infer that the TTX content in flatworms is a defense mechanism. (Although, some studies show that there are high concentrations of TTX in the pharynx, or feeding organ, which has had scientists hypothesize wether or not TTX is used in prey capture.)

Very cool!!
