Here's a nice article on our most recent #Antarctic borehole expedition - a nice job in bringing out the sense of discovery and how much work sits behind a single expedition - #Climate #SeaLevelRise #Amphipods https://www.sciencenews.org/article/cavern-west-antarctic-glacier-life

A new study may have solved the mystery of the holes at the bottom of the Bering Sea. The study suggests that the holes are burrows made by tiny crustaceans called amphipods, which dig into the seafloor to reach a nutrient-rich layer of sediment. The study also reveals that the burrows are connected by horizontal tunnels and have claw marks on the walls.

Result of a couple of #biodiversity #FieldDays: hidden gems of streams visited; #amphipods sampled and identified (#Gammarus rules the world, at least the one I visited...); distribution records added and expanding knowledge on 🇨🇭 fauna; reviving my old passion for taxidermy with a cool find of a skull (guess what?).
Very satisfying indeed.

Warm weather and no snow made us look for #amphipods in #streams up to 1000 m a.s.l., adding records to the distribution of #aquatic organisms in 🇨🇭. Saw lots of #EPT & #Gammarus, and had a fun day out.
Goal for 2023: resolve the Swiss distribution of the G. fossarum complex and its species/lineages A, B and C at fine scale and figure out where they overlap.
