Under the Microscope 🔬🐌 This species of Gastropoda, Trivia monacha, is commonly referred to as the Spotted Cowrie due to its three distinct spots on its shell's upper surface. This individual was recently found in samples collected from the Solent alongside an abundance of sea squirts (ascidians), which cowries feed upon and lay their eggs within. #underthemicroscope #thesolent #marineecology #marinebiology #oceanresearch #aquaculture #marineindustry #UKmarinelife

Buy Now MRP :-795 Rupees For Offer WhatsApp :- 076696 95222 Purchase Link https://lnkd.in/ge4suErY This treatise on Aeronautics is an eye opening for the modern experts since an aircraft named as Puşpaka Vimana was manufactured by using not perceptive but intuitive genius by the most learned hermits like Bharadvaja. This treatise has been translated taking in care of modern scientists, professionals relating to Space, Ecology, Viriology, Biology (consisting both Zoology and Botany) as also Genetics and Psychology as well. Following are the salient features of this book on Aeronautics:- (i) A number of chapters first define and refer to certain herbs, plants, shrubs, trees including their inner parts subsequently used in making ready the infrastructure of an aircraft #sanskritvigyan #sanskritsahity #vimanshastra #AncientIndianScience #aeronautics

Did you know that there is such thing as a NON-biting midge?! 🦟🪰 😬 These two are non-biting midge larvae (Chironomidae) from the tribe Tanytarsini. There are estimated to be over 10,000 species worldwide. They are pretty tough to ID though so are often left at tribe or family rather than taken to species. The larvae of certain species can be bright red due to haemoglobin analog, which means they are often referred to as blood worms. You pretty much find Chironomidae in any type of waterbody, they aren't fussy! The larvae of some species also thrive in heavily polluted habitat. It is very unusual if they don't turn up in a sample. #aquaticecology #macroinvertebrate #taxonomy #entomology #ecology

Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle influenced the scientific approach to understanding the world in several profound ways. It demonstrated the importance of empirical observation and the collection of diverse data in natural settings, encouraging a more inductive reasoning approach in scientific research. This method contrasted sharply with the deductive reasoning that had previously dominated the scientific community. Additionally, Darwin's interdisciplinary observations, spanning geology, zoology, and botany, emphasized the interconnectedness of different scientific disciplines, fostering a more holistic approach to understanding natural phenomena. #DarwinsVoyage #ScientificRevolution #EmpiricalObservation #InductiveReasoning #InterdisciplinaryScience #HolisticApproach #MilestonesInHistory #NaturalPhenomena

Palleon is a genus of chameleon endemic to Madagascar that currently contains only two species. Both member of this genus were originally described as Brookesia species, with one species later classified in the genus Evoluticauda (the second species was not yet described at this point) before that genus was synonymized with Brookesia again. The Palleon genus was split from the Brookesia genus on the basis of the deep divergence between this lineage and remaining Brookesia species, which dates back to either the Cretaceous or Palaeocene. This divergence was earlier than all other extant chameleon clades that are otherwise recognized as distinct genera and the two speceis included in Palleon also exhibit distinct morphology from the remaining Brookesia species. #InternationalChameleonDay #ShowYourColors #ChameleonDay2024 #ChameleonDay

Can you spot the Chiton?👀 Chitons are ancient marine molluscs found in the intertidal zone around the UK. Chitons feed on algal films on rock using a tough, rasping tongue known as a Radula (this is the world's strongest biological structure!). Their characteristic shells have 8 inter-locking plates and are embedded in the muscle surrounding their bodies. What species should we spotlight next? #SpeciesSpotlight #Chiton #Intertidal #Marine #Ecology
