New #ISEPpapers! Bit by bit toward the diversity of #metopids: Description of the genus Pidimetopus n. gen. (Ciliophora: Armophorea) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jeu.13034

"While metopids (Armophorea: Metopida) represent the most species-rich group of free-living #anaerobic #ciliates thriving in #hypoxic environments, our understanding of their true diversity remains incomplete."

Patrolling the border: #Billfish exploit the #hypoxic boundary created by the world's largest #OxygenMinimumZone https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37283143/

"#Sailfish and blue #marlins are some of the fastest fish in the ocean... how do they manage to find the sparsely dispersed #fish, #squid and #crustaceans in the ginormous #ocean? They use an invisible oceanic boundary created by a mass of water that contains almost zero #oxygen!"

Plenty of Fish in the OMZ

Ideal hunting grounds for swordfish and sailfish in the world’s largest oxygen minimum zone (OMZ)!

Just knocked out 20 minutes of the lamest #hypoxic training ever. Still, something is better than nothing. I’m sure I’ll get better at this if I keep doing it.
