A D-day commemorative ceremony is currently taking place at Ver-sur-Mer in Normandy. The British war memorial here is striking in the sunlight and features fossil-bearing limestones.

Nice to see this paper co-lead by Ania, Lee Hsiang Liow （廖珕庠） & Piotr published! In this collaborative initiative of bryozoologist colleagues, we show the influence of evolutionary history & seawater temperature on the mineralogical variability of #bryozoans. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…

My favourite picture from the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) Everest24 exhibition. Always eat your breakfast kids, especially when you're about to climb Everest!

Finally out: zoologicalletters.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… a collaborative approach on the first growth data on boring bryozoans. with Dr. Sarah Lemer Masato Hirose Sebastian Decker

Being able to access original works of many great Bryozoologists is a daily privledge. These plates are incredible from Moll, 1803

#wormwednesday Early #Serpulidae tube pics come from conchology works. Here's a 1819 plate from a terrific 'universal' encyclopeda by Rees. "Serpula filiformis" cluster at bottom looks like a Filograna. biodiversitylibrary.org/page/38762276

It's going to be a busy day in the SEM...

Enjoying the Bastille Day bash in La Barde, all the more so when I found colonies of the bryozoan Conopeum on the moules

Happy #WorldSnakeDay! A shout out to one of my favourite papers ever (Key Jr et al., 1995), with proof Bryozoans can fit into any world animal day😁 Featuring - Bryozoans on sea snakes!

A trip to Margate to the Crab Museum wouldn't be complete without a Bryozoa beach hunt... #Alcyonidium

Many thanks Bryo_Abbie for the blog post all about packing up the NHM_Bryozoa collections ready for their new home. natsca.blog/2024/09/05/bry…

Thanks NatSCA for publishing my blog on rehousing the bryozoan collections at Natural History Museum 🪸

Last week we had the "scallop party", a project getting over 30 people (including work experience kids) excited about packing #Bryozoans on scallop shells ready for the move to Reading! We now have 14499 scallops packed and ready to be studied!
