Today marks the 190th year anniversary of the discovery of the #cyphonautes #larva of #bryozoans! Ehrenberg first saw the tiny creature on November 25, 1832 (Hyman 1959).
This is my favorite #LarvalForm of all #MarineInvertebrates. It has a unique triangled, hat-like shape with a thin bivalve shell and a pompom at the top (apical organ). It swims and captures food using cilia and has some finely organized muscles (first image).

I am a #museum #scientist and paleobiologist in #Oslo, also Associate Editor at #EcologyLetters and #Paleobiology. I am involved with #PaleoSynthesys at #FAU Erlangen on several working groups. Field work in #NewZealand. I like #dogs, #bryozoans, spicy food and #coffee (order has no meaning here). I like/play #classical #piano and #cello.

I do #diversification rates using #fossil observations, phenotypic evolution using fossils and extant populations, some (paleo)ecology because that's important for big picture #macroevolution and am in general thrilled about #marine #invertebrates (#marineinverts) and work at a natural history #museum. I like R, community databases, #bryozoans and other cool things. I also like #dogs.
