PART 1 | POLL 4

SHRIMP TOURNAMENT!!!

(make sure to read info on both contenders before voting! some information may be hidden under "read more"!!)

BANDED CORAL SHRIMP (Stenopus hispidus)

AKA: coral banded shrimp, banded cleaner shrimp

technically, BCS aren't true shrimp, but we'll make an exception due to how closely related they are (wink). these big guys boast gigantic claws and red-white stripes covering their entire bodies! they're able to distinguish between individual banded coral shrimp (presumably through chemical signals), which is quite a rare trait for crustaceans! they're also monogamous and mate for life, a trait also quite uncommon for most crustaceans! if one partner dies, the other will never mate again and supposedly live the rest of its life solitary.

-

EMPEROR SHRIMP (Periclimenes imperator)

AKA: N/A

these colorful shrimp form commensal* relationships with nudibranch (most commonly "spanish dancers"), in which the latter protects the former from harm by being toxic to most other animals. depending on their size, however, emperor shrimp may choose to live on sea cucumbers instead, and they're actually quite dedicated to their choice- if a larger shrimp is moved from a nudibranch to a sea cucumber (and vice versa), they'll go out of their way to find their original partner again!

*where one organism benefits from another without hurting or helping it- although it's still debated on whether or not the other party benefits in this situation

-

reblog for more shrimp frying rice! this is part of an ongoing bracket tournament known as the Sas Shrimp Tournament, which will finally decide which shrimp is the absolute coolest of them all!

im studying for an exam and im exhausting meself so u guys will now learn about the camel shrimp

these guysss!! :D one of my favorite species of shrimps (after the pistol shrimps and the periclimenes soros)

this lil guy is a decapod crustacean belonging to the infraorder of the caridea. its got a cylindrical body, covered with a not very leathery armor, which during growth changes many times times to recreate a new one, the carapace is divided into two parts, the cephalothorax (anterior part) and the abdomen (posterior part, made up of 6 moving parts!) it has two antennae that have the function of sensory organs, 2 slender claws and many many legs, the tail is shaped like a narrow fan, oh also its heart is located in the head (like many other shrimp species), the Rhynchocinetes durbanensis is distinguished by a face that is usually tilted upwards and has the body covered with white and red stripes like a candy! males usually have larger claws than females, it usually lives together with other shrimps of the same species in cracks or under rock or coral ledges and in the crevices of ship wrecks, n these guys used to b confused with Rhynchocinetes uritai, bc the colors of the species are very similar, although the red color of durbanensis is a wee bit brighter, but the uritai only lives in the area of the Japan and Korea while the camel shrimp is found in the oceans east india, australia, indonecia, east pacific n central or west pacific :]

#alright ill stop procrastinating gby gamers hope u guys enjoyed the srimpo fact #gh0ost txt #sea creatures #shrimps #shrimpblr

@rassicas went through the new Splatoon website that Nintendo set up and summarized all the important bits. Let's see if we have any scientific commentary to make:

The age that Inklings gain humanoid form varies, but is usually around age 14. Individual variation in growth rates is the norm in nature (some people in my field would be better off remembering that...). Great to see this canonized.

Sea urchins are good at processing Super Sea Snails, and use their spines to dextrously remove the insides. This does not have biological basis. Sea urchins aren't specialized predators, unlike the closely related sea stars; they primarily eat algae (this is actually a problem off the coast of California), but will also prey on slower, more sessile animals like sponges and crinoids if they happen to be in the way. But they have no real way to deal with snails, especially more mobile ones. The mouth of most sea urchins is a small pentagonal organ called an Aristotle's lantern, and it's best at grazing algae, seaweed, and kelp. The spikes are also primarily defensive and would be of no help either.

Although it's possible that in the future, the ancestors of Spyke and Murch would have evolved an Aristotle's lantern specially designed to carve snails out from their shells...

Craymond cleans up parasites that may have latched onto Flow. Craymond is an emperor shrimp (Periclimenes imperator). Periclimenes are cleaner shrimp, and P. imperator in particular is known to live commensally on sea slugs. So that's exactly what he would be doing in nature. I love it when Splatoon adds bits of real biology like this.

Lil Judd is an omnivore, but is especially interested in "crispy prawns". Cats are obligate carnivores (though this is inclusive of seafood, so prawns are still on the table). A cat would probably not by its own accord be omnivorous. Of course, this is Lil Judd. We can't rule out that one of the modifications the Professor made was expanding his diet.

There are two types of Octarians: those that are made from tentacles cut off from a host, and those that can become humanoid. A new organism developing from a severed part is called fragmentation. Corals, flatworms, and echinoderms can do this. Seems like it also evolved here in cephalopods. This may have been inspired by how octopus arms have "a mind of their own"; an octopus arm has so many neurons (approximately 40 million) that, when the brain sends a signal, the arm can delegate exact movements to itself. It'd be like if your brain told your arm to pick up something, and your arm opened your hand and grabbed the thing by itself. Though an arm can't operate entirely without the brain (the brain needs to send commands and process sensory information), I can see asexual reproduction through fragmentation developing by expanding on this process (maybe the arm acts autonomously in immediate response to sensory input until it grows a new brain). This is the future, and evolution has done weirder things.

Golden eggs are used as a high-performance energy source. Turns out that they're also used as a biofuel - which was already known for power eggs. As with power eggs, presumably this is because they have lots of fatty acids. In this case, to help nourish the embryo. (although if there was something in the embryo that made them more effective energy sources - which may be the case - that would be kinda messed up)

[Marina's] description is "Maiden in love", the word for "love" being the romantic type. They keep giving us Pearlina fuel

カザリイソギンチャクエビの生態【伊豆高原ダイビングスクール】

カザリイソギンチャクエビは、エビ目（エビ）門甲殻綱十脚目テナガエビ科に属するエビの一種です。学名はPericlimenes ornatusです。体長は1〜2センチメートルで、透明な体に黒い斑点があります。カザリイソギンチャクエビは、イソギンチャクと共生する小さなエビです。イソギンチャクの触手に隠れながら生活し、イソギンチャクの粘液を食べて生活しています。日本、インドネシア、オーストラリアなど、熱帯や亜熱帯の海域に生息しています。

カザリイソギンチャクエビは、イソギンチャクの触手に隠れながら生活することで、イソギンチャクの捕食者から身を守っています。また、カザリイソギンチャクエビは、イソギンチャクの粘液に含まれる栄養素を食べて生活しています。イソギンチャクの粘液は、魚や他の動物が食べ残した食べ物や、死んだ動物の死骸に含まれる栄養素が含まれています。

カザリイソギンチャクエビは、イソギンチャクの繁殖にも役立っています。カザリイソギンチャクエビは、イソギンチャクの卵を守ったり、イソギンチャクの幼生を育てたりする役割を果たしています。

カザリイソギンチャクエビは、イソギンチャクと共生することで、お互いにメリットを得ています。カザリイソギンチャクエビは、イソギンチャクの捕食者から身を守り、栄養を得ることができます。イソギンチャクは、カザリイソギンチャクエビに卵や幼生を守ってもらい、繁殖することができます。

カザリイソギンチャクエビの特徴は、次のとおりです。

体長は約1センチメートルです。

体は透明で、黒い斑点があります。

触覚は長く、細くなっています。

脚は長く、細くなっています。

雌雄異体です。

卵を抱えて生活します。

イソギンチャクの粘液を食べて生活します。
