I’ve made it mostly through #shrimptember26, posting on my personal IG stories. I don’t know whether it’s worth the trouble to have a third IG account for my 2D art. Anyway, here is a sea flea found deep in the ocean. #sciart #oceanart #amphipod #shrimptember

A new study models groundwater #amphipod distribution in Western Australia's mining-affected Pilbara region using Random Forest, comparing order, family, and species-level #data. Coarser taxonomic models still captured key ecological patterns making them useful for conservation when data is limited
