Day 1 of #Spectember, using @FabioAleRomero's list. Fully marine moles adapted to a benthic feeding lifestyle.
#SciArtTweetStorm: Here's some figures I rendered for McKinnon's review of #biodiversity and ecosystem processes in tropical marginal seas. © Annu. Rev. Mar. Sci. 2014.6:415–437 https://t.co/aMk2SVJvlb #coralreefs #pelagic #benthic #deepsea #Australia #SciArt #scicomm #vectorart
In accordance to character, I present this #MosasaurWeek and #SundayFishSketch double-whammy a week and a day late. XD Eonatator sternbergii and an early relative of the benthic fish Sorbinicharax verraesi. Blub blub! 💙 #paleoart #sciart #mosasaur #fish #scicomm
@HodariNundu @chondrichthyan Body and fins shapes more like pelagic lamniforms or carcharhiniforms would be appropriate. @BrianEngh_Art and artbyjrc have created some recons in line with that thinking. There is still room for speculation, but avoid slow-moving, benthic sharks.
#Beatles song theme this week. Took a trip back to the White Album for...
🎶Everybody’s got something to hide except me and my Pacific Monkeyfish 🎶
Also known as the Daruma Stinger or Pitted Stonefish. A benthic fish of the western Pacific #SundayFishSketch
Have spent the afternoon with ammonites, so here's some #paleoart of biggest one of all for #FossilFriday: Parapuzosia. A small mosasaur is being scavenged (we don't know what the ecology of Parapuzosia was, but lots of ammonites are thought to be nektobenthic scavengers).
For this week #SundayFishSketch, the round goby seemed appropriate. This small benthic fish have been introduced in the Great Lakes in 1993 probably by ballast water. Territorial and aggressive, it remodeled a lot of freshwater benthic communities.
Here you have the reconstruction done by @BranArtworks. Because of the derived rostral morphology we hypothesize that this animal was a benthic feeder, a truly odd adaptation when compared with coeval physeteroids
#DeepTime Cambrian ecosystems could be quite complex, with many of the hallmarks of a modern benthic community. The @NMNH dioramas do a great job of showing this, with priapulids like Ottoia and Selkirkia being a major infaunal component. Second image from https://t.co/6UGECm1ICU
Today marks the 1-year anniversary of when I 1st shared my #paleoart on social media! The inaugural Instagram post was of the nektobenthic Paleozoic cephalopod Aphetoceras, so I thought I'd recreate it:
#paleontology #sciart #scientificillustration #art
had to draw Benthic Biomancer <3 added glasses cuz i imagine he's bit of a shy nerd~
Gonna draw him a lots hanging out with Jade, Misty and Speaker ~ <3
You won't find members of the family Holocentridae - AKA the squirrelfishes - burying acorns, but rather prowling the reef after dark for benthic inverts/small fish. #SundayFishSketch
