KAZ – A new occasional series modeled from Ed Yong’s Pocket Science where I will briefly report a few cool studies and tell you why I think they are cool! ———————————- Bathykorus bouilloni, new species. Kevin Raskoff from Monterey Peninsula College (where I got my start in science!) describes a new genus and species of . . . → Read More: The Tide Pool: New Jelly, Misplaced 6-Gill, Old Ostracods

By Dr. M, on October 22nd, 2009 4 comments Biodiversity, TGIF: Pictures & Movies blood belly, comb jelly, Ctenophore, jellyfish, MBARI, Monterey Bay Aquarium, video Great video of a comb jelly with its silica plates that are reflecting light. These plates are aligned in rows or combs and thus the name. Comb jellies are not jellyfish. The two are in different phyla, Ctenophora and Cnidaria. The main difference is that Cnidarians have stinging cells and Ctenophores have the silica plates. . . . → Read More: Blood Belly Comb Jelly

These are suspension feeders that filter food from the water column, so I am also inevitably drawn to dabblings in physical oceanography, and I will try to post on these whenever I can. For now, though, I . . . → Read More: The Jellyfish are Watching
