Sebastian Decker

very proud of @SH_Decker for defending his PhD thesis last week on boring bryozoans. Great work Basti! 🍻🍻

Finally out: zoologicalletters.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… a collaborative approach on the first growth data on boring bryozoans. with @Sarah_TheSea @moostiere @SH_Decker

Finally out! Boring systematics on endolithic bryozoans and other ctenostomes. Big thanks to all my collaborators: @ahmedjoudahnass C. Baranyi @moostiere @Sarah_TheSea @AndySombke @faguilgen @lmanzoni @AbbyOtago @BryoEvolution @TSchwaha doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

frontiersinzoology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Finally out. Two years ago we rediscovered Monobryozoon ambulans from its type locality, Helgoland. Read more about its morphology and phylogenetic position here. with @SH_Decker @ahmedjoudahnass and Christian Baranyi

@faguilgen @morphonews you will get another manuscript very soon ;)

@morphonews @SH_Decker Specimens from 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱😉😉😉

More interesting #morphology of endolithic #bryozoans presented by @SH_Decker at #YRMM24. (I'll spare jokes in boring bryozoans)

@AntoniettaRoss2 I was not taking any samples just images in the field while diving. Need to get permits for indonesia tho ;) But it would be very interesting for sure

@SH_Decker impressive image, the one with the hydrozoan! did you look for skeletal modifications induced by the hydrozoan?

This beautiful bryozoan colony belongs to the genus Triphyllozoon (probably to the species trifoliatum). It seem to be widespread throughout the Indo-Pacific region as I encountered it in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia and always co-occurs with a hydrozoan

Some macro shots from Alor, Indonesia.

Boring bryozoans! Delighted to finally see this baby online. Big thanks to all my collaborators for their support @moostiere @Sarah_TheSea Piotr Kuklinski @hamishgspencer @AbbyOtago and @TSchwaha link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our annual marine biology course on Helgoland was a great success again, thanks to @TSchwaha, @AndySombke and 12 super motivated students 🐟🐚🦀🐬🦐🐌🦑

@TSchwaha Boronis ;)

Alcyonidium mammilatum, Phoronis ovalis and Monobryozoon ambulans. Nice critters in our Helgoland course

Moin @Helgoland with @TSchwaha and @AndySombke

@oceantash @Sarah_TheSea In different gastropod shells predominantly Drupa morum from the intertidal

One month of fieldwork on Guam comes to an end and it has been a blast. Found plenty of bryozoans and watched my Penetrantia grow, while other amazing reef creatures watched me. Thanks to @Sarah_TheSea #I

The bryodiversity of Dahab, Egypt still holds many surprises. I encountered more than 30 different bryozoan species over the years. Here a small collection @Dahab #Bryodiversity

🫶 fully funded PhD available in my lab👇 EXPLORING SEAGRASS MICROBIOME STEWARDSHIP TO PROMOTE HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS UNDER VARIABLE CLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOS applications close midday, Friday 21 April 2023 For full details see derby.ac.uk/research/degre…

The unique pseudocyphonautes of Flustrellidra hispida is approximately 1 mm in width and one of largest bryozoan larva. This peculiar larval type is only present in two relatively unknown ctenostome bryozoan families and a rather rare sighting. @SBRoscoff #Bryozoans #Bryozoology

@TSchwaha life of a marine biologist be like ;)

when the wet lab is really wet, with @SH_Decker nice sunday morning excercise

@jethroreading32 I rather think the latter

@SH_Decker So is this an actual useful behaviour? Or are the zooids mistaking the pellet for food and grabbing then rejecting it?

Fecal pellet juggling in Membranipora membranacea

Are the earliest bryozoans... actually seaweeds? Our new material finds a new place for dasyclad algae in the Cambrian explosion. nature.com/articles/s4158…
