A water flea. H, almost 5- doing mama proud. Yes, the heart is dorsal, as it should, so is the baby (in pink). An the squiggly green line is the gut.

they have a bunch of leggies in there, I think maybe ten leggies? but no one ever draws them unless absolutely necessary because they are horrible

I just heard that the invasive spiny water flea has been found in some lakes in Algonquin Park ― North Tea, Manitou, & Kioshkokwi. Fish can't eat them because of their barbed, spiny tail. They can tag along on boats & canoes.
Just feckin' wonderful.

Spiny waterflea form large, jelly-like masses that can spread to other waterbodies on commercial and recreational fishing equipment.

In a bit of a "plot twist" we provide evidence that the #spiny #waterflea, one of North America's most notorious invasive species has actually been around for at least a century before its first detection in Lake Ontario in 1982! This was the most surprising and significant finding of my PhD.

what if sqq was a waterflea and lbh was a biologist studying him in a lab #svsss

改良版のミジンコブローチ制作中。
ミジンコ作るのすっごい久しぶり。
以前は持ってなかったビーズやスパンコールをいっぱい使うの楽しい。

Working on an updated version of my daphnia brooch.
It’s been ages, and I’m loving all the beads and sequins I can use now!

A magnificent book arrived.👌 Winfried Lampert's opus magnum on the waterflea Daphnia magna, four years after he passed away.🙏 A great pleasure to remember the fantastic time I had at his Max Planck Institute for Limnology, a privilege he mentored me during part of my PhD research👍

We're besotted by #Bosmina! So this Microscope Monday 🔬 we're enjoying getting up close with #Cladocera, aka the #WaterFlea!

If you're curious to find out more about these enthusiastic eco-engineers check out British Freshwater Cladocera by Scourfield & Harding in the FBA shop!

Water Fleas (Daphnia) are a type of Cladoceran Crustacean.
Sometimes they resemble flakes of gold in the sunlight.
They swim using their 2nd set of antennae.
The main concentrations were near the marginal vegetation. Yum fish food. #WaterFlea #Daphnia #Breckland #Norfolk #invertebrate #rivers 5/25

The waterflea compound eye is singular too! Again, not an anatomist, but perhaps this may be of interest?

Have some more sketches for my invasives project, here are the fishhook waterflea (Circopagis bengoi) and the spiny waterflea (Bythotrephes longimanus)

🧪🧬 The promise of environmental DNA is that you can monitor entire communities simultaneously, with the big caveat: eDNA detectability varies over time dependent on species biology, and so your required sampling effort will be determined by your hardest-to-detect organism (doi.org/10.1111/fwb....)

A water flea and copepods that were found in pond water. I always wonder what their world looks like to them. How do they see their world? Are they aware of us? A secret world.

🧪 I am happy to share the good news: Winfried Lampert's monography "Daphnia magna" is now also available electronically as free PDF, downloadable from hal.science/hal-05116032. #daphnia #waterflea

We are excited to announce that Winfried Lampert's monography "Daphnia magna" has finally been published as (very affordable) hardcover book on Amazon. On 488 pages it summarizes and puts into context more than 1500 scientific articles about the popular model organism. 🧪 #daphnia #waterflea
