Stephanomia amphytridis (Lesueur & Petit, 1805)
This physonect siphonophore probably grows to lengths of 10 metres or more, although only 15-20 cm in diameter. The first known record for this species was published in 1805 and it consisted only of a drawing of a small part of a specimen, including the orange stomachs to be seen in the video, that probably had detached from its tail end. Although there have been several subsequent descriptions purporting to be this species, most actually refer to another physonect species, and the paper by Pugh & Baxter (2014) is the first time that this species has been fully described.
The video shows the typical features of a physonect siphonophore, which are highly polymorphic colonial coelenterates. The colony can clearly be divided into to sections. The anterior section consists of biserially arranged opaque swimming bells. Their function is, by their co-ordinated pumping action, to propel the colony through the water. At the free end of this region, called the nectosome, can be seen a small white float that serves to orient the colony. The major proportion of the colony, the siphosome, includes several types of individual, such as the large stomachs that hang down from the stem and the opaque individuals are bracts, or covering scales, that serve to protect the other individuals. There are also sexual medusae with each colony being either male or female.

Halistemma rubrum (Vogt, 1852)
This physonect siphonophore grows to a length of about 1 meter (about 3 feet). It was photographed in situ by the ROV Doc Ricketts in the Gulf of California at a depth of 245 meters. This species is quite common in the warmer waters of the three great oceans and, particularly, in the Mediterranean.
Siphonophores are colonial jellyfish. The small white dot to be seen at the extreme left of the animal is a gas-filled float, which helps to orient the colony. To the right of it are a number of specialised medusae, arranged biserially, whose pumping action jet propels the colony through the water. The right-hand part of the colony consists of several different kinds of individuals. The light patches are the stomachs, with their tentacles that can be seen to contract and relax. The opaque, whitish individuals are called bracts, or covering scales that serve to protect the other types of individual. Other individuals, such as the sexual medusae, both male and female, are also present, but cannot be discerned in this clip.

This video describes four new species of carnivorous sponges from the Northeast Pacific Ocean that were discovered by MBARI scientists. Carnivorous feeding in sponges is an adaption to the food poor deep-sea environment, where filter feeding -- the typical way sponges feed -- is energetically expensive. Instead, these sponges trap small crustaceans with microscopic hooks. Once trapped, sponge cells mobilize, engulf the prey, and rapidly digest it. In addition to consuming small crustacean prey, one of these species appears to be consuming methane-oxidizing chemosynthetic bacteria.

From legless lizards to purring monkeys, scientists described thousands of unique animal species in 2013. Some species-rich regions like the Amazon basin yielded hundreds of discoveries, while museum collections provided genetic information that allowed scientists to describe hundreds more. Over 1.6 million species of animal life are currently known, but global biodiversity is estimated to be much greater—perhaps 10 million animal species or more.

A new species of masked-owl (Aves: Strigiformes: Tytonidae) from Seram, Indonesia
Knud Andreas Jønsson, Michael Køie Poulsen, Tri Haryoko, Andrew Hart Reeve, Pierre-Henri Frabre
Zootaxa (Impact Factor: 0.93). 03/2013; 3630(1):051-061. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3635.1.5
ABSTRACT We describe a new species of masked-owl from the lower montane forest of Seram, one of the largest islands in the Moluccas of eastern Indonesia, for which we propose the name Tyto almae (Seram Masked-Owl), sp. nov. Molecular (mitochondrial cyt-b) differences show that Tyto sororcula of Buru and Tanimbar is closely related to T. novaehollandiae of Australia and New Guinea (~1% uncorrected pairwise distance), and that Tyto almae of Seram differs by ~3% (uncorrected pairwise distance) from both of them. These differences are further corroborated by morphology and colouration. Although a photograph from Seram published in 1987 had already established the presence of a Tyto owl on the island, ours represents the first specimen of this species. The bird was mist-netted in wet, mossy lower montane forest at an elevation of 1,350 m. No further observations of the owl were made during four weeks of fieldwork in Seram.

It was photographed in situ by the ROV Doc Ricketts in the Gulf of California at a depth of 245 meters. This species is quite common in the warmer waters of the three great oceans and, particularly, in the Mediterranean. Siphonophores are colonial jellyfish. The small white dot to be seen at the extreme left of the animal is a gas-filled float, which helps to orient the colony. To the right of it are a number of specialised medusae, arranged biserially, whose pumping action jet propels the colony through the water. The right-hand part of the colony consists of several different kinds of individuals. The light patches are the stomachs, with their tentacles that can be seen to contract and relax. The opaque, whitish individuals are called bracts, or covering scales that serve to protect the other types of individual. Other individuals, such as the sexual medusae, both male and female, are also present, but cannot be discerned in this clip. This video was posted to accompany the following publication: PUGH, P. R.; BAXTER, E. J. A review of the physonect siphonophore genera Halistemma (Family Agalmatidae) and Stephanomia (Family Stephanomiidae). Zootaxa, v. 3897, n. 1, p. 1–111, dec. 2014. ISSN 1175-5334.

Four new species of carnivorous sponges: Adapting to life in the deep seaFour new species of carnivorous sponges: Adapting to life in the deep sea
This video describes four new species of carnivorous sponges from the Northeast Pacific Ocean that were discovered by MBARI scientists. Carnivorous feeding in sponges is an adaption to the food poor deep-sea environment, where filter feeding -- the typical way sponges feed -- is energetically expensive. Instead, these sponges trap small crustaceans with microscopic hooks. Once trapped, sponge cells mobilize, engulf the prey, and rapidly digest it. In addition to consuming small crustacean prey, one of these species appears to be consuming methane-oxidizing chemosynthetic bacteria.

Science Bulletins: Biodiversity Unveiled—New Animal Discoveries of 2013Science Bulletins: Biodiversity Unveiled—New Animal Discoveries of 2013
From legless lizards to purring monkeys, scientists described thousands of unique animal species in 2013. Some species-rich regions like the Amazon basin yielded hundreds of discoveries, while museum collections provided genetic information that allowed scientists to describe hundreds more. Over 1.6 million species of animal life are currently known, but global biodiversity is estimated to be much greater—perhaps 10 million animal species or more.

A new species of masked-owl (Aves: Strigiformes: Tytonidae) from Seram, Indonesia Knud Andreas Jønsson, Michael Køie Poulsen, Tri Haryoko, Andrew Hart Reeve, Pierre-Henri Frabre Zootaxa (Impact Factor: 0.93). 03/2013; 3630(1):051-061. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3635.1.5 ABSTRACT We describe a new species of masked-owl from the lower montane forest of Seram, one of the largest islands in the Moluccas of eastern Indonesia, for which we propose the name Tyto almae (Seram Masked-Owl), sp. nov. Molecular (mitochondrial cyt-b) differences show that Tyto sororcula of Buru and Tanimbar is closely related to T. novaehollandiae of Australia and New Guinea (~1% uncorrected pairwise distance), and that Tyto almae of Seram differs by ~3% (uncorrected pairwise distance) from both of them. These differences are further corroborated by morphology and colouration. Although a photograph from Seram published in 1987 had already established the presence of a Tyto owl on the island, ours represents the first specimen of this species. The bird was mist-netted in wet, mossy lower montane forest at an elevation of 1,350 m. No further observations of the owl were made during four weeks of fieldwork in Seram.

Stephanomia amphytridis
Stephanomia amphytridis (Lesueur & Petit, 1805) This physonect siphonophore probably grows to lengths of 10 metres or more, although only 15-20 cm in diameter. The first known record for this species was published in 1805 and it consisted only of a drawing of a small part of a specimen, including the orange stomachs to be seen in the video, that probably had detached from its tail end. Although there have been several subsequent descriptions purporting to be this species, most actually refer to another physonect species, and the paper by Pugh & Baxter (2014) is the first time that this species has been fully described. The video shows the typical features of a physonect siphonophore, which are highly polymorphic colonial coelenterates. The colony can clearly be divided into to sections. T...

Stephanomia amphytridis (Lesueur & Petit, 1805)
This physonect siphonophore probably grows to lengths of 10 metres or more, although only 15-20 cm in diameter. The first known record for this species was published in 1805 and it consisted only of a drawing of a small part of a specimen, including the orange stomachs to be seen in the video, that probably had detached from its tail end. Although there have been several subsequent descriptions purporting to be this species, most actually refer to another physonect species, and the paper by Pugh & Baxter (2014) is the first time that this species has been fully described.
The video shows the typical features of a physonect siphonophore, which are highly polymorphic colonial coelenterates. The colony can clearly be divided into to sections. The anterior section consists of biserially arranged opaque swimming bells. Their function is, by their co-ordinated pumping action, to propel the colony through the water. At the free end of this region, called the nectosome, can be seen a small white float that serves to orient the colony. The major proportion of the colony, the siphosome, includes several types of individual, such as the large stomachs that hang down from the stem and the opaque individuals are bracts, or covering scales, that serve to protect the other individuals. There are also sexual medusae with each colony being either male or female.

Halistemma rubrum (Vogt, 1852)
This physonect siphonophore grows to a length of about 1 meter (about 3 feet). It was photographed in situ by the ROV Doc Ricketts in the Gulf of California at a depth of 245 meters. This species is quite common in the warmer waters of the three great oceans and, particularly, in the Mediterranean.
Siphonophores are colonial jellyfish. The small white dot to be seen at the extreme left of the animal is a gas-filled float, which helps to orient the colony. To the right of it are a number of specialised medusae, arranged biserially, whose pumping action jet propels the colony through the water. The right-hand part of the colony consists of several different kinds of individuals. The light patches are the stomachs, with their tentacles that can be seen to contract and relax. The opaque, whitish individuals are called bracts, or covering scales that serve to protect the other types of individual. Other individuals, such as the sexual medusae, both male and female, are also present, but cannot be discerned in this clip.

This video describes four new species of carnivorous sponges from the Northeast Pacific Ocean that were discovered by MBARI scientists. Carnivorous feeding in sponges is an adaption to the food poor deep-sea environment, where filter feeding -- the typical way sponges feed -- is energetically expensive. Instead, these sponges trap small crustaceans with microscopic hooks. Once trapped, sponge cells mobilize, engulf the prey, and rapidly digest it. In addition to consuming small crustacean prey, one of these species appears to be consuming methane-oxidizing chemosynthetic bacteria.

From legless lizards to purring monkeys, scientists described thousands of unique animal species in 2013. Some species-rich regions like the Amazon basin yielded hundreds of discoveries, while museum collections provided genetic information that allowed scientists to describe hundreds more. Over 1.6 million species of animal life are currently known, but global biodiversity is estimated to be much greater—perhaps 10 million animal species or more.

A new species of masked-owl (Aves: Strigiformes: Tytonidae) from Seram, Indonesia
Knud Andreas Jønsson, Michael Køie Poulsen, Tri Haryoko, Andrew Hart Reeve, Pierre-Henri Frabre
Zootaxa (Impact Factor: 0.93). 03/2013; 3630(1):051-061. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.3635.1.5
ABSTRACT We describe a new species of masked-owl from the lower montane forest of Seram, one of the largest islands in the Moluccas of eastern Indonesia, for which we propose the name Tyto almae (Seram Masked-Owl), sp. nov. Molecular (mitochondrial cyt-b) differences show that Tyto sororcula of Buru and Tanimbar is closely related to T. novaehollandiae of Australia and New Guinea (~1% uncorrected pairwise distance), and that Tyto almae of Seram differs by ~3% (uncorrected pairwise distance) from both of them. These differences are further corroborated by morphology and colouration. Although a photograph from Seram published in 1987 had already established the presence of a Tyto owl on the island, ours represents the first specimen of this species. The bird was mist-netted in wet, mossy lower montane forest at an elevation of 1,350 m. No further observations of the owl were made during four weeks of fieldwork in Seram.

welcome my friends
to a place that may seem
most disturbing
quite unnerving
lend me your dreams
and we'll add what we need
to be free
terminally
we'll fly to a spot
where I know there is not
any sorrow
no tomorrow
people just laugh
cause they know how it feels
to have loved
and be loved
don't you worry
ain't no need to hurry
all you really need
is lovebah bah bah bah bah
now you may say
tell me more of this place
so inviting
and exciting
here and above
children love without doubt
and can be
they can be
listen my friends
carefully to direction
to get there
and you know where
love is the place
skewed to matter and space
for us all
for us all
don't you worry
ain't no need to hurry
all you really need
is love, love, love
