Aboard Kaimei, the world’s most advanced #research vessel, Dr. Jann Vendetti (Curator, #Malacology) is bringing us along with “Dispatches from the D-ARK”, a series of updates from an expedition exploring #biodiversity in the deep sea caves around Minami-Daitō Island in the Philippine Sea. With two update batches to share, enjoy a look at the latest observations, like these micro gastropods (with a penny for scale!): https://bit.ly/D-ARK1 📷 Dr. Jann Vendetti

I’m undergoing a research with this specie and my best highlight is how I grew from using the microscope to identify the specific specie (Anopheles, Culex, Aedes), their gender, their gonotropic stage, their eggs and larvae to using my unaided eye!!! This specie became my favorite amongst all insects! ❤️ I unconsciously started conserving them for research 😂😂 Understanding their bionomics and behavior is needed to achieve a zero-malaria nation!! #HappyWorldMosquitoday #ReachingZeroMalariaTarget #SDG3 #Entomology #Malariabiology #Malariavector

With great surprise, Scientific Reports communicated me that the article Survivability of the lichen Xanthoria parietina in simulated Martian environmental conditions was among the top 100 articles downloaded in 2023. Thanks again to all the Institutions and people involved in my master thesis. https://lnkd.in/dWCY5Dvn #astrobiology

Coral settlement induction by tetrabromopyrrole is widespread among Caribbean corals and compound specific - Frontiers in Marine Science: Tetrabromopyrrole (TBP) is a readily biosynthesized marine proteobacterial compound that induces coral settlement (attachment and metamorphosis) at concentrations ranging from 50 – 250 ng ml-1 (0.13 – 0.65 µM). This suggests a great potential for the use of this compound as a settlement inducer for restoration purposes. However, the applicability and optimal concentration of TBP for many coral species is not yet known. Furthermore, TBP is an unstable compound, which may present both challenges and benefits to its potential use for restoration purposes. In order to assess the utility of this compound for restoration, settlement induction by TBP was assessed among a wide range of Caribbean coral species. Additionally, a suite of halogenated compounds (tribromopyrrole, pentabromopseudolin, dibromophenol, tribromophenol, bromophene, n-methyl tetrabromopyrrole, tetrachloropyrrole, dibromoindole, n-methyl tetrachloropyrrole and dibromopyridine) that are related to TBP, some of which have similar antibiotic and antialgal properties, were also tested for settlement induction activity. These compounds were chosen based on their structural similarity to TBP or their identity as a product within the bacterial TBP biosynthetic pathway. TBP induced settlement in nine of ten coral species tested including seven not previously reported (Dendrogyra cylindrus, Orbicella faveolata, Colpophyllia natans, Diploria labyrinthiformis, Pseudodiploria clivosa, Acropora cervicornis, Montastraea cavernosa) at concentrations ranging from 0.375 – 1.5 µM. No other compound tested induced settlement, demonstrating a high degree of specificity for TBP. https://lnkd.in/e3Y6Mx-p

**Exploring the World of Malacology: The Study of Mollusks** Malacology, the study of mollusks, sheds light on the diverse and intricate world of snails, clams, octopuses, and other soft-bodied invertebrates. Recent discoveries have highlighted the unique adaptations of deep-sea mollusks, such as bioluminescence and complex shell structures. Research into mollusk physiology and genetics is providing insights into their evolutionary history and environmental adaptations. Furthermore, the study of mollusk shells in the fossil record offers valuable information on past ocean conditions and climate changes. #Malacology #MolluskScience #MarineBiology
