Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Many aquatic animals are described as "filter feeders" but this is not functionally correct since it would require water forced through a mesh. Instead, most zooplankton, including copepods, are suspension feeders. They create feeding current gyres using appendages, and use spiny modified ones (maxillae) to intercept individual algal particles and move …

image/jpeg the feeding current of a copepod zooplankton is shown by lines of the path of water. Two circular gyres are formed at the ends of the antennae beside the head which focuses water current into the head of the copepod, highlighted in red. A scale bar indicates the animal is about 1 mm long.

image/jpeg a diagram of a mouthpart (maxillae M2) is shown with long spines on the top and shorter ones on the bottom of one side which have protruding hairs to form a basket-like structure. Caption says Centropages velificatus and the scale bar suggests the entire structure is about 0.4 mm long. Taken from Mimi Koehl. 1998. 11(1), Oceanography.

Experimentally co-evolved E. coli and yeast achieve stable coexistence — and the coevolved E. coli, but not the yeast, is able to resist invasion by other bacterial strains
doi.org/10.1007/s00248-025-026

Fig 3C from the linked article, showing three rows of 12 panels, each with a graph of cell density over time for 7-day competition experiments with coevolved E coli and yeast plus competitor bacteria. Different competitor strains are in each column of the 3x12 grid, and each row gives results for experiments with ancestral, 1000-generation coevolved, or 4000-generation coevolved E coli. The ancestral E coli fails to resist invasion of many competitors, but the coevolved strains resist most of t…

I haven't been actively installing feeders this winter with bird flu outbreaks in our rural area, but decided to put out a seed cylinder for the holiday. This resulted in a common, but new bird for me: a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker.

Orchids are famous for specialized flowers that create species isolation by manipulating pollinators— but these ones don't have specialized pollinator relationships. Instead, they're isolated by pollen incompatibilities.
