similarly, Lysobacter are motile cells that glide on a layer of secreted slime, swarming toward larger prey in "wolf-pack" style. Each individual secretes enzymes that serve as extracorporeal "jaws" to attack the membrane of prey cells, collectively rupturing them!
..at #2) (not really ranked, tho!) a #SciArt portrait of the intricate Hartig Net made of ectomycorrhizae hyphae snuggling between root cells to exchange nutrients, for research by @c_terrer @BruceHungate @EcossNau https://t.co/AizvG57YPW
@Paleojim I thought of Cleveland-Lloyd scenarios when I read that story-- makes me want to revisit this piece to make it show fatal green water instead...
some #Sciart I created to illustrate the concept of State Factors -- fundamental characteristics of the environment in which a given ecosystem arises, such as local precip, disturbances, influxes of organisms which may colonize the area...
@ziyatong unbelievable! :) and I'd even stared at these claws for years but never heard about it: https://t.co/7q5Ql10xgA
Weekday deadlines have landed, so sharing a little Impacting Bolide sketch today for #Mondayfeels
#SciArtTweetstorm : another closeup of my new Tropic Shale #sciart #paleoart, showing benthic community around a methane seep
#SciArtTweetstorm detail of my new / upgraded #sciart #paleoart "cross-section" of the Tropic Shale restored as a sea of teeth, 93 MYA.
#SciArtTweetstorm #paleoart: my #Sciart portrait of a convergent evolution theme in hook-handed "high browsing" extinct mammals
@Museum_Monster one more I like, sans hands, but worth posting for its name alone: my #Sciart of Bootherium bombifrons, in standoffish pose
