We’ve got a new phylogeny of the ants out as a preprint! It’s been an exciting collaboration with some awesome 🐜 people for the past few years, led by Marek Borowiec and @corriemoreau.bsky.social:

This flapjack octopus, Opisthoteuthis sp. — a genus of cirrate octopuses found throughout the global Ocean — uses cirri running up & down their arms like fingers, to forage around in the fluffy sediment for small worms, crustaceans, and other invertebrates. #SouthSandwichIslands, 2025, 902 m

LAST UP: #7 Seed GREAT WHITE PELICAN (Pelecanus onocrotalus) vs. #10 seed ATLANTIC HORSESHOE CRAB (Limulus polyphemus) #2025MMM
Crisp photo with saturated colors of a Great White Pelican flying over clear blue water with soft ripples. It's body and head feathers are bright white that fades into a pale yellow on it's chest. The flight feathers (primaries) are black with a white rachis, and it's pink feet are trailing slightly behind a very stubby tail. It's eyes pink with a black iris. The gular pouch is a glorious bright yellow. The long upper mandible has a red line along the length of the beak and the lower mandible has a dark line along it's length, giving it a lovely contrast. Photo from Nature Photo Library Photo of an Atlantic Horseshoe Crab in a bed of thin, brown sea grass. It is a flat medium brown with orange highlights. The anterior part of the carapace is wide and round and the posterior part tapers into a flat edge connected to the abdomen with a hinge. The abdomen has spikey bits along the edge that are yellow-orange and a long tail-like spike called a telson. It's lateral compound eyes are visible on the outer edge of the carapace, highlighted in orange. Hat tip to the Hakai publishing team who are now at: https://www.biographic.com/
