Excited to share my first PhD chapter, which was just published in @NatureComms !! Read more about the impacts of mining plumes on the helmet jellyfish #Periphylla here: rdcu.be/drFvO @iAtlanticEU @GEOMAR_en @LeniHauss

First paper of 2024! 🪼 Very excited to announce a ✨️BEAUTIFUL✨️project published in @CurrentBiology with @RebeccaRHelm. Within, we use phylogeny and ancestral reconstructions to better understand the evolution of organisms on the ocean's surface. doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Deep sea mining may pose a threat to the largest and least explored habitat on the planet—the deep pelagic ocean—and some organisms living within it, including pelagic jellyfish, suggests a @NatureComms paper. go.nature.com/3uomId4

Our paper was picked for the editor's highlights by @NatureComms! Read more about the effects of mining-induced sediment plumes on the midwater jelly #Periphylla #periphylla here: nature.com/collections/ja… @LeniHauss @LaraSchmittmann @Ute_Hentschel @CharlotteHav1

Research done by iAtlantic scientists that examines the effects of sediment plumes on jellyfish living in the water column has been making headlines from @nytimes to @BBC. Read about the implications of @VIStenvers' work: nytimes.com/2023/11/21/sci…

The research got a feature in BBC bbc.com/news/science-e… 👏🏻 @VIStenvers

Species-specific responses to deep sea mining are unclear. Stenvers et al. show that elevated temperatures & simulated sediment plumes cause physiological stress in a cosmopolitan deep-sea jellyfish @LeniHauss @LaraSchmittmann @Ute_Hentschel @CharlotteHav1 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Important new #deepseamining study just out! Please also see BBC News article by @Vic_Gill bbc.com/news/science-e…

And so did @ngreports for @Nature Link: nature.com/articles/d4158…

@kategscience also wrote a wonderful piece for @nytimes Link: nytimes.com/2023/11/21/sci…

My co-authors and I investigated the effects of mining-induced sediment plumes on the midwater jelly #Periphylla and made this video to explain the main findings. Read all about it on @NatureComms rdcu.be/drFvO

New study from @iAtlanticEU Project highlights potential threat of deep-sea mining to key species in deep-sea food web doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Deep-sea mining and warming trigger stress in a midwater #jellyfish: Researchers have investigated the effects of experimental sediment plumes. The results of the study under #GEOMAR leadership are published today in @NatureComms. geomar.de/en/news/articl…

Published today: Experimental mining plumes and ocean warming trigger stress in a deep pelagic jellyfish. With ⁦@VIStenvers⁩ , who also put together below video. ⁦@iAtlanticEU⁩ ⁦@GEOMAR_en⁩ nature.com/articles/s4146…

All are very welcome to create their own PhD project in my Duke Biology lab in in vision/signaling/camouflage/biophotonics/navigation. Stipend ($38,500 USD) is guaranteed for six years via TA/RA/fellowship. Current one-bedroom rent is ~$1600. DM me if interested. #scitwitter

@jeffday @SchmidtOcean How interesting!! Indeed looks like it!

@SchmidtOcean @VIStenvers possible parasites? think i can make out a couple of them on the gills as well

after the planctoteuthis we got a piglet squid!! helicocranchia interesting white spheres adhered to the surface of this one - parasites? youtube.com/live/tS-lQ1rY0… @SchmidtOcean

Polynoidae is the most species-rich family of Aphroditiformia (scale worms), with over 900 species. A new study presents a transcriptome-based phylogeny that emphasizes relationships between taxa and provides insights into the origin of enigmatic lineages. ow.ly/utQV50Oz3Jk
