Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Bdelloid rotifers are a microplankton that reproduce using parthenogenesis (female clones), but when environmental conditions become adverse (e.g. pond dries up), they can turn themselves into an extraordinaryly resistant inert "tun" through a process called cryptobiosis (like brine shrimp). Recently, Russian scientists thawed out

image/jpeg a series of 6 microscopic photos shows the revival of a dried inert form of a dark orange rotifer. The organism gradually extends into the adult form which is elongated with a pointed tail and ciliated mouthparts at the head. Stills from video taken by Christian Colin.

Detail from Figure 1 of the linked preprint: a diagram contrasting the two weasel morphs, one of which is brown in summer and white in winter, and the other of which is brown all year; with images of weasels in both forms of winter coat; and then nucleotide and amino acid sequences for the two MC1R variants underlying the two coat types
