Nice update of the @moultdb database, with iNaturalist observations integrated with genomic data and scientific observations from extant and fossil species!

Hi #aquarium mastodon. Was my #neocaridina #shrimp #moulting? Does it look like it was going to survive? https://video.4d2.org/w/vm6S1egoyYJhNAF9utmx6W

We do zoology! New preprint on staging the moulting of shrimp Palaemon varians led by @nextstrain.

Overview of the moult cycle of Palaemon varians:
A central circle of the stages from postmoult to ecdysis, with photos of the setea at each stage, and timing in days.

Dear Friends of #moulting,
As we know lobsters 🦞 and snakes shed their skins, shells. Politicians #shed their #words as soon as elected. Spooks kick everyone out of the #cuckoo #nest... And everyone is likely to #change their #favourite [insert 'immutable' choice]

We are a strange bunch of coconuts. :dopefish: Some green. Some brown on the outside. Sum... don't add up.

#Fortunately there is a #solution. Come to #think of it, many solutions. For example:

- Principals are for #schools, not strangulation
- :anarchy:
- Consider the grass of the fields, how they get munched to make room for milkers and honey space. Bee Power!
- Romans, Nazi and Empires. Fall. (you knew right?)

In other words, #step #aside and #find the #happy #place. Mine is in my head, #heart and Yummy #Tummy. Today I am having a day of #restitution. Went for a lovely #walk. Had a #shower. Gonna have #Pastafarian for lunch. Like a mama used to make. With fresh 'erb. Aye, aye, I an' I, an' a tooth 4 a #truth for the #fairies... and #pirates

Have a wondrous day. Because you are worth it 🦋

Updated preprint of momentous review of arthropod moulting led by Giulia Campli and @rmwaterhouse: https://ecoevorxiv.org/repository/view/6538/ #EvoDevo #ArthropodEvolution #arthropod #molting #moulting #ecoevorxiv

Understanding your dog's fur health is essential for their overall well-being. Dive into the essentials of grooming, dietary considerations, and tips to ensure your canine's coat remains in top condition.

Cryptops sp. in the process of moulting. The large rear (ultimate) legs can apparently be jettisoned (autotomized) to confuse predators. Eyeless. Swarthmore, PA, USA. #centipede #nature #chilopoda #ecdysis #moulting #arthropod

Many-legged arthropod that is light brown on posterior segments, translucent white on anterior segments.

I've seen so many #birds with mottled coloring on their heads this summer. Magpies, jackdaws, crows and pigeons. Is this normal? Recently I've also seen a few that look like their heads are #moulting. Any #ornithologist/s out there with thoughts?

Guillia Camply of @rmwaterhouse lab about #moulting genes in #arthropods. The most diverse group shares the trait of moulting. We can see it in the fossils record and every where around us but it is largely understudied. Trying to understand the history and the diversity of gene families and expression of this trait around all arthropods. Doing exceptional work of comparing between 150 proteomes and 65 gene families. How do change occur in arthropoda?

One of the key stand out highlights for our guests and friends yesterday was being literally enveloped in swirling masses of low flying Little Swift !

Here’s one just leaving the nesting #colony ! Little flying #moulting perfection! 😊

Lua: "My plan for bunny assexual reproduction has been discovered! Daddy removed most of my moult!"

Lua the bunny next to a pile of moult, trying to sniff it.

the Gryphons moult occasionally . or sometimes the Gryphons like to leave the Gryphon feathers around . Gryph seems to like these featherpiles ^V^

#featherpile #moulting

Throwback to half a year ago, right in the middle of #moulting season. Some #crows rock the "worn out and burst sofa cushion" with more dignity than others.
I think Kräkrä wore a quite fashionable grunge look last year. Don't you think, too?
