Imagine a life spent riding currents, never touching solid earth! @mbarinews.bsky.social Senior Scientist Bruce Robison is a midwater ecologist; he suspects this pelagic octopus is Japetella diaphana. ROV pilots collected this footage during the 2023 #OctopusOdyssey expedition at 1,047 meters.

Japetella diaphana is one of the few species of bioluminescent octopuses, and it is one of the few octopus species that live in the open water.

They don't even go to the seafloor to lay eggs. Instead, Japetella mothers carry their eggs as they float in the sea.

A Japetella diaphana floating in the ocean. It is gelatinous and transparent, with an orange organ inside its mantle being visible.It is covered in orange chromatophores that are mostly opaque, and you can see through it in the gaps between them. The octopus is oriented vertically with its arms pointed down. Its arms are mostly an opaque orange but they are surrounded by transparent flesh. A female Japetella diaphana floating in the ocean, carrying eggs and brooding. The octopus is facing away and to the left, and is oriented vertically, with its arms being curved backward (towards camera and to the right). Two arms curved further upwards. In the centre of its arms are a clutch of white eggs. The octopus has a single row of eggs on its arms. The octopus is a peach colour. A Japetella diaphana floating in the ocean. It is oriented horizontally and slightly down. It is covered in orange chromatophores but they are quite small. Its entire body is clear, translucent and gelatinous. Its arms are held together. A close up of a male Japetella diaphana floating in the ocean. It is facing away from the camera. It is oriented vertically, but its arms are going back and are in different directions. You can see the single row of suckers on each arm. It is peach coloured.

Et de fait, ça marche. Des hommes et des femmes se forment, des permanences s’ouvrent partout en France. Bien mieux encore, le nombre de décès suite à un avortement s’effondre dès 1973 !

Un merveilleux film raconte cette aventure

Managed to confirm the id of the Cystopteris diaphana with some very nice SEM pictures done by a fellow BPS member and Edge Hull University student Kieran Heggs. #FernFriday #BritishPteridologicalSociety #sporeSunday #EdgeHillUni
Image shows a computer monitor displaying a close up of the back of a fern fronds. Pale structures (open sporangia) can be seen with tiny spores just visible on the frond surface. Grey background with a pale, very spiny spore.

The midwater octopus is a master of survival in one of Earth’s most extreme environments. 🐙

Japetella diaphana has adapted to life in open water. With a nearly transparent body and the ability to shift colors, Japetella uses camouflage to outsmart predators in the dark.

A new French sci-fi animated film is being released today in France: Arco, and it looks promising.

"In 2075, a 10-year-old girl named Iris sees a mysterious boy dressed in a rainbow suit fall from the sky. His name is Arco. He comes from a distant, idyllic future where time travel is possible."

The theme for this month's #InsertAnInvert2024 is coastal, and, I'm sorry @franzanth.bsky.social but I'm going rogue from the prompts and doing ALL NUDIBRANCHS.

Here are the first two, Nembrotha cristata for tropical reef week and Halgerda diaphana for temperate reef week.

Japetella diaphana is a unusual octopus. It exclusively lives in the midwater, it is one of the few bioluminescent octopuses, and it may be the only octopus that has colour vision.

#OCTOtober
A Japetella diaphana floating in the deep sea. It is a gelatinous octopus that is sort of football shaped, with its arms curled up and tucked in. It is translucent, and covered in orange chromatophores, but you can see there is a transparent layer above where its chromatophores are. It is pointing its mantle upwards. A Japetella diaphana against a black background. It is completely translucent, except for its shiny, opaque eyes, and some organs in its mantle. It has a silvery, a grey, and a red organ in its mantle, but otherwise you can see through it. Around its head they are some shiny blue which might be its photophores. Its arms are all pointing away from its head. Its suckers are visible, and some of them close to its mouth are red. There is a red bit at its mouth, possibly its beak.
