🐛 El gusano arenícola o arenícola marina debe constituir un porcentaje importante en la dieta de esta peculiar limícola de pico curvado... El zarapito trinador es un ave relativamente común en el #estuariodelMiño, donde no resulta raro observarlo mientras se desplaza lentamente por la arena.

Did you think the #polychaete Arenicola marina #Annelida only live in #intertidal and shallow subtidal? We did until we found them at 200 m depth. New #openaccess paper on bathymetric distribution and identification of juvenile lugworms in Norway #wormwednesday www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Literature on summer-dormant geophytes is muddled. Some summer-dormant geophytes that flower in autumn are better classified as protoanthous, but this spring-flowering Haemanthus pubescens ssp. arenicola is hysteranthous. 📷: Karel du Toit CCBYNC4 #Amaryllidaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Pokud byste totiž začali v místě kopečku kopat, někde v hloubce 20 až 40 centimetrů byste narazili na tohle:

Highland sundews that probably need to be repotted again (because the last peat batch was utter crap it turns out)

A Lugworm (Arenicola marina) cast and hole.
The worm itself is buried in the sand in a U-shaped burrow between the cast and the hole. They suck in the sand, with their mouths, through the hole and eat the algae growing on it before passing it out their rear ends to form a "sand cast".

Amazing photos by @northronbirdobs.bsky.social of one of our tracked knots, Arenicola with Tellina also skulking around on the island somewhere. So cool to see the knots a lot fatter now than when we deployed the loggers in February and photos like this help so much with the tagging efforts!
The newly ploughed observatory crop has played host to a colour-ringed Knot in the past few days.
Initially seen in poor weather and post submission we discovered it’s also carrying a geo-locator from @globalflyway.bsky.social you can follow Arenicola’s progress on the globalflyways network website

For connoisseurs of seed-free plants (I know you’re out there), I present this little lovely: Selaginella arenicola (#Selaginellaceae). The epithet meets “sand dweller.” Very apropos. I never tire of running into this plant in the #Florida #Scrub. #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪
